Rupert Lowe is suing me for reporting the accusations his party made against him. That is the SECOND multimillionaire Reform MP to threaten to bankrupt me over a tweet. These are the people standing up for free speech and the "little guy". 🤨

Nigel Farage’s “party of the people” received £100,000 from former Lehman Brothers senior banker Roger Nagioff, new donation records show. That’s the same Lehman Brothers that was at the epicentre of the 2008 financial crash - an event that plunged millions of people into hardship

Jeez. This is absolutely appalling & shameful from Trump and Vance. President Zelenskyy is the democratically elected leader of a sovereign country who is bravely standing against the illegal invasion of Ukraine by a murderous ACTUAL dictator called Vladimir Putin

GBNews: "Are you Nigel Farage in disguise?" Starmer: "Nigel Farage didn't even turn up to the debate in Parliament. Nigel Farage is fawning over Putin. That's not patriotism." An inane question getting precicely the treatment it deserves. ~AA

America did not send $$ to Ukraine. It sent them armoury, armament, and planes etc. that the US military planned to decommission. It was the US military that was given the $$ by Congress - towards replacing the decommissioned items. Congress was replacing old hardware with new: in the US military.

Cannot recommend this highly enough. Not least as a corrective to the absolute balderdash published by the Telegraph & others.

The judge in the Axel Rudakubana case explains why the Southport murders were not considered terrorism.

Axel Rudakubana was born in the UK, grew up in the UK, raised Christian, he went to school down the road from where I grew up. There are evil people among any group. You don't have to try and make this about race, religion, or integration, because none of this is about that.

Stepping back from the two big stories of the moment, pretty much all of the platforms where the Southport killer indulged his passions for violence, genocide & murder are owned & controlled by men who were in the prime seats at Donald Trump’s inauguration yesterday. And they all hate regulation…

l'm going to say what every Musk biographer knows: he should've been deported from the US 25+ years ago and never allowed in the country again. It's not just that he's about to become an unelected President of the United States despite being ineligible for the role, it's that he _shouldn't be here_.

1/ Ok, so instead of just making jokes about the EU Reset, I wanted to do a very simplified thread on: - what the actual problem is Keir Starmer is trying to solve; - the options on the table; and - why this shit is hard. This will be very long. I'm sorry. Let's get wonky.

“How will an ambulance get through?” A question only asked of those trying to save our planet, not millionaire landowners trying to hoard wealth. Farmers received record support in the budget. Pay what is still less than your fair share, take your tractors and piss off.

Hang on, Labour building affordable housing that we desperately need is being slated as a “controversial” by the media? Having already been slated for checks notes stopping race riots and paying nurses/ teachers properly? Those evil bastards. What will they do next? Give schoolkids breakfast?
