EXCL: Nigel Farage appeared on Russell Brand’s US podcast nine months after the comedian was investigated by police over allegations of sexual assault @rowenamason reveals The Reform UK leader has criticised Labour for “cosying up to” and “promoting” Brand a decade ago, after the comedian was sentenced this week to more than 10 years in prison for rape and sexual assault. theguardian.com/politics/202…

Warning: Distressing and graphic language An undercover investigation inside Reform UK’s political operation has found senior party officials saying they have to “defend the indefensible” when dealing with accusations of racism against party figures, with Nigel Farage told he was “protecting” one Reform candidate from being sacked for allegedly racist views. ITV Exposure gained unprecedented access to Reform’s Westminster headquarters, sending in an undercover reporter inside the party in January 2026, where she worked as a press officer. She secretly recorded conversations between Reform officials as they dealt with multiple accusations of racism by Reform councillors and candidates. Reform UK told us: “Not all individuals covertly recorded by ITV are members of Reform UK. Where members, activists and councillors have clearly behaved inappropriately, investigations have commenced. In some cases, there have been suspensions and due process must be followed. “Reform UK has improved and prioritised its vetting procedures, but from time to time, a handful of individuals who do not share our values will initially make it through vetting. This is the same for all organisations. “There is no room for racism in Reform UK. We always respect due process of investigations and whilst these are ongoing it would not be appropriate to comment on individual cases.” Watch ‘Undercover: A Year in Reform’ on ITV1 & ITVX from 10:20pm on Sunday

Historian of fascism here. This is an escalation of an attempt to normalize extreme violence, ritualize violence, militarize the country, and make violence entertaining so when they ask you to commit violence in their name, you will be ready.

And there you have it..........
Disturbing footage as Nicola Thorp gets harassed and assaulted by a woman wearing a shirt for “The Pink Ladies / Women's Safety Initiative”. The irony of an activist using “women's safety” as a front while threatening a female journalist - Press freedom matters.

I recommend spending a few minutes on Google Earth today looking at Gaza. Keeping the media out has meant we have not seen this before. Make your own mind up.
Google Earth updated the images of Gaza. It's devastating.

‼️ Jim Ratcliffe: 🔹 Backed Brexit 🔹 Moved his tax residence to Monaco 🔹 Abandoned plans to build the British 🇬🇧 Grenadier in Wales and moved production to France 🔹 Now lectures Britain from Denmark about why the country is on the slide And who does he blame? Immigrants and people on benefits. The billionaires who helped hollow Britain out always point down, never at Brexit, tax flight, chronic underinvestment or their own decisions. *Toughness* seems to mean somebody poorer paying the price.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe says he has lost confidence in the UK, describing the country as "on the slide". "Nobody's tough enough to deal with the immigration problem. Nobody's tough enough to deal with the benefits problem. But somebody needs to do it." [BBC]

Apparently the new Reform mega donor Ben Delo is threatening to sue people who mention his previous conviction tied to money laundering. So best not keep sharing it.

A full timeline of Nigel Farage’s grift and corruption 1. 2001–2014: Rent-free office scandal Farage used office space rent-free, failed to declare the benefit properly, and was fined by the Electoral Commission. 2. 2015–2016: Whilst serving as an MEP, Farage’s EFDD group spent around €1.8 million of EU taxpayer funds improperly on his “Say No to EU” Brexit campaign activity, including paying for rallies in the UK, venue hire, banners etc 3. 2016–2019: Farage’s Brexit movement was heavily funded by Arron Banks. Questions over the source of funding were referred by the Electoral Commission to the National Crime Agency. 4. 2017–2018: The European Parliament docked Farage’s MEP salary to recover around €40,000 after concluding parliamentary funds had been improperly claimed for staff costs. 5. 2018: A European political party closely linked to UKIP and Farage’s parliamentary group was ordered to repay €1.1 million after investigators found EU grants had been improperly used for national political campaigning, including campaigns in the UK directly supporting UKIP. 6. 2019: Channel 4 News and The Guardian reported that Banks gave Farage benefits worth around £450,000, including accommodation, transport and overseas travel. 7. 2019: The Electoral Commission warned the Brexit Party’s online donation system was at “high and ongoing risk” of accepting impermissible donations and required stronger controls. 8. 2019: Crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne donated around £6.4 million to the Brexit Party, beginning a financial relationship that continues today. 9. 2021 onwards: Farage earns £400,000 a year from GB News whilst serving as the leader of a UK political party. 10. 2023: Farage received around £1.5 million for appearing on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here. 11. 2023: Reform UK received £200,000 from First Corporate Consultants Ltd, linked to businessman Terence Mordaunt who lobbies against Climate Change policy and campaigned for Brexit. 12. 2024: The Good Law Project alleged Farage failed to declare assistance from a US public relations firm during a US trip funded by Christopher Harborne. 13. 2024–2026: Farage received a £5 million gift from Christopher Harborne around 1 month before entering Parliament. In 2026, Parliament’s standards watchdog opened an investigation into whether it should have been declared. 14. 2024–2026: Since becoming MP for Clacton, Farage has declared more than £2 million in outside earnings from media, speaking engagements, commercial partnerships, including activity closely linked to lobbying for policies that benefit his private funders. 15. 2025: A complaint alleged undeclared election spending during Farage’s 2024 campaign. Essex Police took no action because the statutory time limit had expired. 16. 2025–2026: Farage failed to declare 17 separate payments, worth around £380,000, within the required parliamentary deadlines. The Standards Commissioner found the breaches were inadvertent. 17. 2026: Farage declared £270,000 from Direct Bullion for promotional work while sitting in Parliament, equivalent to around £22,500 per hour. 18. 2026: The Sunday Times alleged convicted former aide George Cottrell provided undeclared support including security, accommodation, staffing and media assistance. A true public servant and man of the people.

Across the NHS there are currently around: * 8,000 doctor vacancies * 25,000 nurse vacancies * 100,000 total vacancies And yet ignorant people in the comments still talk of people ‘stealing their jobs’ The truth is the NHS would collapse without staff from all over the world
One NHS, many nationalities. Huge thanks to every single person who helps keep the NHS going 💙

If Keir Starmer does resign, history will look back on his reign and scratch its head as to why the hell he was so hated. On paper, he's probably delivered more to working British people in such a short time than any PM for decades. After inheriting an absolute mess: NHS waiting lists fallen. Worker's rights improved. Rail operators nationalised. Improved relations with EU and improved UK's global reputation. Removed non-dom tax status. Halved childcare costs. Boosted state pensions. Lowest homicide rate in 50 years. Lifted 550k children out of poverty. Immigration vastly reduced. We are in the age of billionaire funded misinformation, whose sole purpose is to topple democratically elected leaders, and insert leadership that favours the wealthy elites over the working people. Looks like the game plan is working...

I'm old enough to remember when Nigel Farage would hold a press conference at the drop of a hat. So why is he now launching his divisive policies in a blog post from the safety of his keyboard? I can think of 5 million reasons why…
