among Reform supporters over Nathan Gill being one of them
“But, but, Reform didn’t exist when he took his Russian bribes”
“But, but he was in UKIP”
“But, but it has nothing to do with Farage, he barely knew the guy”
So here’s a little history lesson 👍🏼🧵

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Trump has not threatened to invade us unlike Canada which justifies Carney’s tough line. Also we still have a war in Europe in which we are hoping Trump will carry on supporting Ukraine.

This is not what he said and they know it. Something very disturbing has happened to much of the British press and a fair amount of conservative politics. The extremist Musk tail wagging the formerly mainstream dog.

A great interview. Personally, I’d like to learn more about what was going on inside the Corbyn SC. So much damage can be traced back to that lot.
Just listened to this excellent podcast with @lewisgoodall.com and @emilythornberry.bsky.social Insightful, engaging, and human. Keep on keeping on.
NEW: Weekend The News Agents
Latest in our extended ivs, with Emily Thornberry.
We talk foreign policy, Gaza, Syria, Trump and her political journey. Resignation, the rise of the left and Starmer and why she thought some of those around Corbyn were “bastards”
