Brexit hating, Reform/Restore/Tory hating socialist. likes wine, food, rocks, cats, running (badly)

[Farrukh @implausibleblog]

Former Head of MI6 Sir John Sawers, "Russia was very keen that the Leave campaign should succeed and that Britain should leave the European Union"

"Because that would marginalise Britain as a global player and weaken Europe in general"

"That's the strategic opportunity the Russians spotted, and the leaders of the Leave campaign fell into it"

My view: Former MI6 chief Sir John Sawers says Russia saw Brexit as a way to weaken Britain and divide Europe, and that the Leave campaign’s leaders walked straight into the opportunity.

So let’s remember who sold it:

VOTE LEAVE

• Boris Johnson — political figurehead
• Michael Gove and Gisela Stuart — campaign committee co-convenors
• Matthew Elliott — chief executive
• Dominic Cummings — campaign director
• Daniel Hannan — leading Brexit advocate
• Priti Patel, Iain Duncan Smith, Chris Grayling, John Whittingdale and Theresa Villiers — senior Conservative campaigners
• David Davis, Liam Fox, Dominic Raab, Steve Baker and Douglas Carswell — prominent Leave campaigners

LEAVE. EU

• Nigel Farage — leading political figure
• Arron Banks — co-chairman and major funder
• Andy Wigmore — communications director

GRASSROOTS OUT / LABOUR LEAVE

• Peter Bone and Tom Pursglove — Grassroots Out co-founders
• Kate Hoey — Grassroots Out co-founder and Labour Leave campaigner
• Graham Stringer, Kelvin Hopkins and Roger Godsiff — Labour Leave campaigners
• Sammy Wilson — prominent DUP Leave campaigner

They promised Brexit would make Britain stronger.

Sawers says Russia saw the opposite opportunity: a Britain marginalised and a Europe weakened.

@eddie_snail @LeePheonix360 But us lefty libtards are way too woke to do or say anything like that. Obvs 🙄🤦‍♀️

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Overnight, the Russians used 39 ballistic missiles and more than 120 attack drones and loitering munitions against our energy and critical infrastructure in Kyiv, the Kyiv region, and Kharkiv. A targeted Russian ballistic missile strike specifically against energy infrastructure – the very infrastructure covered by the ceasefire announced by the American President. The strike was entirely deliberate and demonstrative in its scale – Russia has never before shown such ostentatious disrespect toward the United States. Russia does not consider the American President’s statements strong. Unfortunately, at least 600,000 people are now without power. Outages could become even more widespread. Unfortunately, there is significant damage to facilities and equipment – at 26 facilities of our power system and four facilities in the oil and gas sector. I am grateful to the repair crews, all Ukrainian energy workers, and the personnel of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine for all their efforts to address the aftermath of this Russian strike. Tragically, there have been fatalities and injuries.

We ask America and EVERYONE in the world who does not turn a blind eye to reality to respond – and to respond forcefully. Russia has squandered the opportunity for de-escalation and has clearly chosen to continue its insane war of annihilation. We ask President Trump to impose STRONG sanctions on Russia, especially since the Lindsey Graham bill, which was recently passed and signed into law, authorizes and regulates such measures. The American President has all the effective and necessary tools to bring peace closer through strength, justice, and pressure on the aggressor. We ask for additional packages of Patriot missile interceptors for Ukraine. It is entirely fair for us to tell the United States, Europe, and all our partners that no country in the world should be left alone to face such a deranged and pro-war actor as Russia. I am grateful to everyone who helps Ukraine! Peace can only come through strength, and we ask America to remember this principle of Reagan’s. Glory to Ukraine!

[Kate from Kharkiv @BohuslavskaKate]

Just so you understand the scale of betrayal: first, our "partners" didn't warn Ukraine about the incoming ballistic missiles, so the air raid alert wasn't activated before impact, robbing people of their chance to survive.

​Then, Starlink was restricted to stop working at speeds above 100 mph. This renders useless, first and foremost, our interceptor drones. It doesn't limit our ability to attack inside Russia, it limits our ability to stop another apartment building or school full of civilians from being hit.

​Wow, just wow.

@yusefayourself @TRobinsonNewEra Can we fast forward to that pls ? 🙏

[TrishOwen @trisho41]

@RupertLowe10 He shouldn’t have been brandishing a knife in public whilst out on bail should he? 🙄
He’s just a moronic thug and is exactly where he should be

[TrishOwen @trisho41]

@Americafocu He should NEVER be allowed anywhere near power

[TrishOwen @trisho41]

@JFK_Jr_PRD No they’re not you grubby little racist

[Sam @SamCKx]

This guy utterly dismantles the populist politics of Reform and Restore in 90 seconds. It’s actually quite beautiful.

Take decades of deep-rooted problems in Britain and convince people that a relatively tiny proportion of the population is responsible for all of them. Housing, the NHS, crime. Blame illegal migrants for everything.

Suddenly, you don’t need credible solutions to the housing crisis, NHS waiting lists or crime. You just need increasingly extreme policies on immigration.

And by the time people realise you never had meaningful answers to the vast majority of Britain’s problems, you’re already in power, handing out tax cuts to your donors.

[Jade @JadeEckhaus]

Most popular chant in Glasgow tonight: “We are women, we can fight, we don’t need your fascist shite!”

Trade unionists, women’s rights and anti-racist activists. This is the real coalition fighting sexism, not the far right exploiting violence against women to spread racism.

[TrishOwen @trisho41]

@HankDesmondPhD No, because we’re not morons 🙄🤦‍♀️

[TrishOwen @trisho41]

@Jenny_1884 What are the benefits Brexit has brought us please? Anyone? Still not heard of one…
Brexit was the biggest act of self harm our country could do to itself .. based on lies and disinformation

[TrishOwen @trisho41]

At least one media outlet have grabbed the story

Barrister who conducted Reform inquiry after Channel 4 sting is ex-UKIP candidate

He has also acted for Donald Trump, Nigel Farage and Reform mayor Andrea Jenkyns in cases.

BREAKING 🚨🚨🚨

Mr Farage said he is delighted to have been exonerated by Nigel Farage & has thanked Nigel Farage for his meticulous investigation.

[Harry Eccles @Heccles94]

I seem to have upset the @SuellaBraverman fan club - so let me be clear.

This women sows hate, lies and division. She is wrong.

She does not represent the vast majority of Britons.

RT if you agree

P.s. multiculturalism is great.

[Sam @SamCKx]

Let me ask a direct question - why do some people see these two men as bastians of society, leaders of a vital movement to make the UK a better, safer, more prosperous place?

Danny Tommo tried to kidnap someone at knifepoint because he believed they had £10,000 worth of the cocaine he was dealing. There are also strong allegations, and court records, that he was also involved in a domestic abuse case against his former partner, along with recordings of him saying he mistreated her so badly she became a crack addict. He is currently facing multiple charges dating back from April, along with his current charges. He is a career criminal.

Tommy Robinson is a known drug addict, who boasted about being able to score drugs everywhere he went. He has been convicted on multiple occasions of violent crime, along with fraud, and several other offences.

This isn't some conspiracy or rumour. These are facts about these men. Violent serial criminals.

So, to anyone who supports these men, including elected MPs: explain how they are making Britain safer for women and children. What exactly about attempted kidnapping, drug dealing, violent crime, fraud and drug addiction represents the values you want for this country?

Do you condone that conduct, or do your standards not apply when the criminal shares your politics?

Tell me what makes these men role models. Would you want your own children to grow up like them?

[TrishOwen @trisho41]

@Nigel_Farage

[TrishOwen @trisho41]

@IsabelOakeshott Good. A violent criminal with previous history of offending … he shouldn’t be released on bail
Any news on the £5m ?

[Albert35 @moonfire445]

They want to leave the ECHR because it will allow them to abolish the State Pension, the Minimum Wage, and paid holiday and sick leave.

It would make them tens of billions a year.

But of course they say immigration, because they can't tell you the real reason.
