Why does a billionaire living in Monaco think the UK has been ‘colonised’ by migrants? | The News Agents
Jim Ratcliffe, believed to be the seventh-richest Brit in the world, has faced backlash for claims the UK has been “colonised” by migrants. Has this language been normalised in Britain?

It was perhaps unwise for Matthew Doyle to believe his friend’s insistence of innocence so completely that he campaigned for him. But if you’re talking unsavoury and unsuitable types elevated to the Lords in recent years, I doubt he’d even be in the top 30.

This couldn’t be clearer. Bannon’s texts to Epstein in mid July 2018 - “overthrowing May right now” and in “London with Boris” as well as his appearance on LBC with Nigel Farage are prettying damning evidence of a cross party plot with foreign backing

Not the first time he's talked about giving big ministerial jobs to unelected individuals, but afaik it's the first time he's linked it to 'support'... This is (another reason) why standards & vetting of appointments is so important
Nigel Farage suggests that Reform-supporting technocrats in his government could sit on empowered Commons committees rather than have to win election to the Commons or be put in the Lords. This would probably also mean they wouldn't have to face parliamentary standards scrutiny...

I've been at the sharp end of Green attack leaflets and there seems to be a culture of misleading claims. I suspect White Hat Bias plays a big role.
Misrepresenting anyone is wrong but putting into question the independence of someone like @robfordmancs.bsky.social really is beyond the pale.

I have today been informed that, despite personal assurances to the contrary, the Green party have once again used my image and misrepresented my words on a second leaflet circulated in Gorton and Denton ahead of the by-election. I have now lodged an official complaint with the returning officer.
