Correct - Russian population is 14-15% Muslim - and it's a land of massive ethnic and cultural diversity.
Putin apologists don't understand it in the slightest.

This is not true at all.
Russia is far more Muslim than most of Europe and North America, and that has nothing to do with why people hate Russia.
People hate Russia because it is an imperialist dictatorship that invades, rapes, and commits genocide against its neighbors

It’s becoming ridiculous now.
Farage claimed in his speech today that he would raise £65 *billion* by cutting climate policies, DEI schemes, and ‘Quangos’.
He’s not running a serious operation and every political journalist in the country has a public duty to shout that from the rooftops

Farage is more similar to Boris Johnson than anyone (including Farage) likes to admit.
Both want the fame of politics without any of the hard graft

Farage will fall into the same trap as Boris Johnson
Farage’s populist insurgency will unravel, and it will bear the hallmarks of Johnson’s demise.

Just like much of the furore this week, here is an example of a law passed 4 years ago and the Tories did nothing with it. Within months of us being in power we delivered the scheme because we are about actual actions and real outcomes. They talked we walked. www.burytimes.co.uk/news/2484314...

In 1979, Jimmy Carter installed solar panels on the White House. In 1986, Ronald Reagan tore them down along w/Carter’s clean energy funding.
This sums up the difference between the two men & political parties. Investing in solutions for the future vs canceling progress to score political points.

Elon Musk is starting to risk getting Jess Phillips killed. She's been safeguarding minister for six months. She oversaw nothing relating to the rape gangs. As an opposition MP she was one of the most prominent campaigners for the victims.
What he's doing is a travesty.

Ofwat is making us pay for decades of criminal behaviour by water companies.
Time to scrap both of them and give the public a real say over the future of our water.

I’m hearing from a lot of Americans right now, who are telling me we should fight to preserve the NHS.
Which we know, right? We’re going to have to fight for it, because corporate interests and think tanks and politicians are dismantling it right now 🚨

Reform UK’s Rupert Lowe owns farmland. Contrary to his party’s outrage, he’s covered a chunk of it with solar.
Rupert’s even claiming £60k’s worth of subsidies for it.

Just a reminder that in 2019, RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine misinformation campaign helped cause a measles outbreak in Samoa that killed 83 people, mostly kids.
Do you really want him to lead the Department of Health and Human Services?

Morning!
Can someone explain why anyone listens to Reform?
They lied about Brexit (spoiler: it’s a disaster).
Now they’re lying about climate change (apparently, it doesn’t exist).
And yet… millions still vote for them 🗳️.
