Wave of people filled the streets tonight for the one-year anniversary of daily, uninterrupted, non-stop #GeorgiaProtests. It’s day 366 and the resistance is as alive as ever. Until the end, until the victory.

Nigel Farage has spent £1m taking out adverts in the papers to distract from the Nathan Gill Russian bribe scandal.

We can't let him buy himself out of this. We need an investigation into Russian influence in our politics.

Farage cited Enoch Powell as his political hero in an interview in Total Politics magazine in 2008.

In 2014 he cited Vladimir Putin as the world leader he most admired.

You want this guy as your next prime minister???

I agree with a lot of this, but not the conclusion. I doubt Zelenskyy could accept these terms without the population taking to the streets - they showed over the attempt to limit the independence of the anti-corruption agencies that they were willing to do so for much less. 1/2

Farage earns more than any other MP for NOT being an MP. He says it’s “obviously sad” that part of his constituency is the most deprived area in England.
But everything he’s ever done, said and wanted has made sure of it.
This is the whole country if he gets into power.

Don’t shop Amazon.
Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

Despite mass arrests and rainy, windy weather, Rustaveli Avenue remains blocked for the 327th consecutive day. 🇬🇪

Around two dozen protesters are currently in jail for blocking the avenue. Repeated “offenses” can lead to up to two years in prison.

Well this is a proper head scratcher.
But yeah, fiddling around with tax and getting rid of consumer protections should sort it.
Wonder what those ‘former chancellors and prime ministers’ had to say about this shitshow. Any mention of Brexit at all??

🇲🇩 Moldova, you’ve done it again.

No attempt to sow fear or division could break your resolve.

You made your choice clear:

Europe. Democracy. Freedom.

Our door is open. And we will stand with you every step of the way.

The future is yours.

Russia's attempt to put one of its puppets into power in Moldova has failed. We must ensure it experiences the same failure in the UK.

Just to be clear:
- Paracetamol does not cause autism.
- Sadiq Khan is not introducing Sharia law in the UK
- We do not have a massive free speech problem here.
- Britain is not on the verge of civil war.
These are not controversial subjects or contested, they're just not true.
