Fighting for my life to get a full sentence out with Nick Ferrari on LBC just now. We have to be realistic about safe routes: It’s a small number of people trying to come here & we desperately need people, too. youtube.com/shorts/M1OVO...

I see three distinct phases. Pre-Fox, when opinion was diverse but actual facts were indisputable. Fox/Trump, where objective truth was subjected to the false equivalence of ‘alternative facts’ (ie lies). And now, where media & tech platform owners collude with him to drown out the truth altogether.

I wish we could say nobody expected Tories and Faragists to be competing over who could most enthusiastically promote racial hatred, but really the Conservatives embraced xenophobia in 2016 when they embraced Farage’s Brexit. From that moment, they were finished as an independent party.

This is an astonishingly ill-informed and amoral assessment for the political editor of the BBC to have reached, about someone spreading extremist conspiracy theories and using them to whip up hatred against elected politicians. I'd say I'm surprised, but sadly I'm not.

That donation is looking shaky. This is why it is a bad idea for Labour to try and appease Musk btw. Unless you pledge unwaivering loyalty, he will turn on you. Musk is by ego, rather than ideology. It is going to make for an... interesting... partnership with Trump. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Tonight will end a tumultuous year. We broke the Tories but have seen the insurgence of the right-wing racists. Tomorrow will come unless we are prepared to stand up against it. I am, and I hope that you are too.

As I’ve said before, we need to make @bsky.app the biggest social media platform on the planet. We need to do it with speed & we need to do it with urgency & then we need to use it with truth & justice to send Elon Musk packing www.theguardian.com/world/2024/d...

I seem to have upset the Nigel_Farage fan club - so let me be clear. This man sows hate, lies and division. He is a grifter and a conman. He does not represent the vast majority of Britons. RT if you agree P.s. multiculturalism is great.
