Sky News: You just said you don't want to leave any 'stone unturned'. Those words were used by Sajid Javid in 2018 when he ordered what you are calling for. Are you saying you failed and did leave 'stones unturned' when you were in government?

100 years from now historians will look back and balk, like “how the fuck did Russia stealth-take-over the United States?!

How did nobody look out for the disinfo? The bribes? The obviously compromised assets in both Britain and America?!”

They won’t believe the total lack of interest & pushback.

What a shit

A sole practitioner lawyer buys up cheap freeholds in Sheffield, writes to the leaseholders with allegations of breaches of covenants & then offers them a “speedy” deal to buy the freedom him at an inflated cost

And the SRA have been investigating for 2 years….🫥🫥🫥

It appears that several other RefUK members have been named as subjects of interest by police in connection with Russian money. Coincidence that Farage has taken a break and flown off to Dubai safely outside UK police's jurisdiction?

After this weekend's racist attacks on the EU, I've written a column about the moral obligation to stop posting on X.

Oh no, wait, I wrote it *two years ago* when it was blatantly obvious what was going on and how it would get much much worse.

The calls from America this weekend to "abolish the EU" are for one simple reason: the EU is the only thing that can keep European nation-states from becoming Russian or American vassals.
The US has declared rhetorical war on the EU
The calls from America this weekend to destroy the EU are revealing. They hate the union because it's the only thing that can keep European countries from being Russian or American vassals.

So love wobbegongs. Everything is good about the wobbegong. Its name. Its flattened Oscar the Grouch face. Its frondy bits. Its lazy life as a hungry rug. And it’s a shark. Outstanding animal 10/10
The Tasselled Wobbegong is a master of disguise that can eat a fish almost as big as itself in one gulp. It's classified as a shark, but when it lays on the sea floor it looks like a harmless rug if you manage to see it. But with powerful jaws and sharp teeth they are no fish to mess with.

Pretty crazy that nearly all of the EU Commission is still on X even as Elon Musk is literally talking about destroying the EU.

You can leave X. It's really not that difficult.
So what's the outcome?

2️⃣5️⃣ of the 27 Commissioners have posted in the last week

2️⃣4️⃣ of the 27 generally post every week (Albuquerque has never been on X, Ribera is sporadic, McGrath has somehow stopped)

0️⃣ have stopped as a result of what Twitter has become since the Musk takeover

Here I am with Reform councillor Andrew Harrison, who was one of a group of people fined over £1m for employing illegal workers. Like all good patriots, he hates immigrants, apart from the ones he can exploit for profit.

Major oil firms like Shell, ExxonMobil, and producers like Equinor are seeing massive earnings alongside grid operators and suppliers.

The ongoing narrative that high energy prices in the UK are unavoidable due to global supply issues is a blatant lie.

Why are Labour not addressing this?

The Mail and The Express surprisingly quiet about Farage being outed by multiple people for being a dirty fucking Nazi. Can’t imagine what would happen if this was Starmer who was in the papers for 4 weeks for eating a fucking curry.
'Him and his minions would be hanging outside Jewish prayers.'
'Banter doesn't exist if you're not friends with that person.'

Stefan Benarroch explains his interactions with Nigel Farage at school, and what he has made of the Reform leader’s response to the allegations.
