I endured an English public school. But that’s not the only reason I’m unsurprised about the Farage allegations | Musa Okwonga
Let’s put aside the schooldays accusations and look, instead, at the Reform leader’s path since then. I think a pretty clear picture of the man emerges, says author and podcaster Musa Okwonga

If the media wants to hyperventilate over the polling that puts Farage in No.10, perhaps they could put the same energy into scrutinising his every link to Russia, his dodgy donors, his US/Trump/far right connections, his brazen racism, his councils’ incompetence and his barrelling Brexit shitshow.

X rolled out a new feature overnight showing where accounts are based. This network of “Trump-supporting independent women” that claimed to be “real Americans” are based in Thailand.
The photos were stolen from European models & posts pushed pro-Trump lines while targeting Islam and LGBTQ people.

Pretty crucially important information that MSM, after beating us over the head for days over Panorama’s editing of Trump’s 6th Jan uprising speech, doesn’t appear to be prepared to address and MPs seemingly unwilling to address.
One frustration of watching MPs ask questions for an hour is that they're not very good at it. Prescott has not been asked about the fairly glaring errors in his own report – that *it misquoted Trump in exactly the same way it says Panorama did*

Well done @lbc.co.uk facilitating Farage to collude with Alex Jones in promoting spurious conspiracy theories.
Nigel Farage using his LBC studio access to appear on Alex Jones Infowars in 2018 + claim EU response to Syria was because "the globalists have wanted to have some form of conflict with Russia as an argument from Brussels to surrender our national sovereignty and give it up to a higher global level"

Mother reported him missing for a week—turns out ICE had him classified as an "unaccompanied minor" & detained.
He asked to use bathroom & disappeared —and wasn't "unaccompanied."

Rachel Reeves says there’s a “hole” in the public finances. A new decade-long Brexit study explains it: a 6–8% hit to GDP – that's £180bn-£240bn a year – means less tax, less investment and less money for everything else.
