Right-wing media fluffs Farage for years, to the point where he now leads the polls, and then start whining about Starmer being 'obsessed' when he starts telling some long overdue home truths. It's actually hilarious.

This is like when *certain Brits* were astonished to learn how many goods passed into the UK via the channel
I just want to tip my hat to the crack team of White House economists who were able to discover--in just a few short days--that the U.S. is dependent on China for smartphones, computers and semiconductors.

4 years ago today, then President Donald Trump incited an armed attack on the Capitol of the United States, while also reportedly suggesting to aides that his own VP deserved to be executed by a mob of his supporters at the Capitol. Those who minimize what he did, or whitewash it, are lying to you.

So, to summarise - there have been numerous inquiries into child sexual abuse since 2012. Tories failed to implement a single recommendation contained therein (Labour are in process of doing so) but Kemi Badenoch now joining Space Karen in attacking Jess Phillips for not commissioning another one.

The complete U-Turn from Nigel Farage's media allies is a) funny but also b) shows why leadership cues matter. Ultimately only parties themselves can police their own frontiers in an enduring way. Very bad that Kemi Badenoch shows no sign of doing so.

The extent to which Reform/Farage/Musk/Trump is becoming a standard news point is the bigger story here. Spats and scandals are part of the trajectory. Farage is a man who campaigned successfully for Brexit over many years. This is par for the course as his ascendancy in British politics continues.
Elon Musk calls for Nigel Farage to be replaced as Reform UK leader
Nigel Farage claims Musk's call is due to a disagreement support for far-right activist Tommy Robinson.

Elon Musk and Nigel Farage can't fight the Establishment because they are the Establishment.

As others including Carole Caddwaladr have flagged, X/Elon Musk has registered a new UK company
Having a UK company (which is trading) is essential to being able to donate to a UK party
Could be other reasons, but the timing is a significant red flag...

If there are politicians or activists with a genuine interest in fixing the problems in investigating and prosecuting sexual offences, there are many criminal justice experts happy to help.
I just mention it because we don’t hear from many of you unless it involves defendants of certain races.
