Meanwhile, in Russia’s Murmansk, before dictator Putin’s arrival, the Federal Guard Service is searching the honor guard for explosives. Nervous much?

And these are the mass graves, in a forest outside Izium, where occupying Russian forces dumped the bodies of the civilians they murdered.
445 bodies were retrieved by the Ukrainian troops who liberated Izium.
To witness this scene, in a European country in 2025, shook me to my core.

Many people (including me) have been warning for a long time that because of the gaping Labour vacuum around Brexit, the Tories may end up denouncing it first.

Colonisation is like being a child with the worst parents : forced to remain childlike your entire life, restricted movement, decisions made for you, pocket money restricted, do as your told, be seen but not heard. Independence is the complete opposite: growth, freedom, and self-determination.

Reform UK Party Ltd is a private limited company and Farage owns 60% of the shares. That means if Musk gives Reform $100 million, $60 million belongs to Farage. No wonder he hasn’t given up control as he promised he would do at the “party” conference in September.🤔
