Once more, Farage is claiming that he stood up in the European Parliament in early 2014 and predicted the Ukraine war. In fact, he stood up in September 2014, AFTER the annexation of Crimea, and blamed Europe for Putin's actions. I kept the receipts. Listen here 👇🏽 open.spotify.com/episode/77cz...

There's a common path in the development of authoritarian or totalitarian regimes, regardless of whether they are overseen by Catholic Inquisitors, Protestant enforcers, monarchists, fascists, Nazis, Stalinists, Maoists .... First they eliminate words. Then they eliminate people.

Yes, Donald. The USA has fallen to tyranny. You’ve collapsed the Constitution. Torched American soft power. Allowed a drug-addled menace to trash any and all govt departments. Risked the world’s health and safety. Betrayed your citizens and your allies. Hand claps don’t come any slower than this.

Cash-grabs. Debt. Infrastructure neglect. Exorbitant bills. Record pollution. This is the devastation that privatised water has left in its wake. 82% of us support public ownership of water. Yet, Steve Reed, in his plan for reform, has already ruled it out. The government must listen to the public.🧵

HSBC net zero goal delayed 20 years, as CEO offered 600% bonus. Bankers already live on another planet and are willing to let the earth burn to fuel their lust for profits. Shareholders don't care, customers have no representation on boards, regulators and govts let them wreak havoc.

Brexit: “that great victory for the sovereign right to cock things up”… give ourselves food poisoning, lose control, swamp ourselves in red tape, pay more for stuff and stubbornly isolate ourselves from our own continent… A relentless, ruinous stupidity. (Private Eye)

Labour won the last election on just a third of the vote. Now Nigel Farage believes he can do the same. Right, left or centre - NO ONE with minority support should have 100% of the power. That's why we demand Proportional Representation.
