BREAKING: The diesel fuel Russia is now exporting to the United States at U.S. President Trump’s request may have originated in Iran, as Russian oil refineries are largely unable to produce diesel because of Ukrainian attacks.
Russia has been importing most of the diesel it needs from Iran. In September, thousands of Iranian tanker trucks were spotted in various regions of Russia, including Ryazan, carrying Iranian diesel.
Russia may be buying Iranian diesel and reselling it to the United States. If so, Trump’s attempt to lower U.S. energy prices and deceive American voters is putting money into the hands of Russia and Iran’s Islamic regime.

The main things I learnt working with @Nigel_Farage
1. His word is not his bond.
2. He does not write emails - no paper trail.
3. He has zero ability to do any detail: 1-hour meetings turn into 56 minutes of Nigel talking about Nigel and 4 mins on the subject the meeting was about.
4. Nigel has no real friends - everyone and everything is expendable.
5. Nigel has enormous energy, but a lot of it is wasted because he drinks and parties too much.
6. Nigel is not an intellectual - he thinks Jordan Peterton is boring.
7. Nigel has spies.
8. Nigel loves money and spends it like water.
9. Nigel surrounds himself with rather facile young men like the convicted posh George.
10. Nigel does not really like working if it is not him being a showman - I cannot even imagine him reading a policy paper.
11. Nigel dictates tweets to Dan Dukes.
12. Nigel has a powerful lawyer behind the scenes who keeps files on people.
13. Nigel is vicious - the plastic sheen is a facade that cons so many people.
14. No idea if Nigel actually has any morality or values or what he believes in except fame and money.

It takes brass balls the size of a planet to be a Green Party councillor and turn up for work in a Lamborghini.
This is Mohammad Baghdadi "Baggy" Khan reporting to duty as a newly elected Councillor in the Halliwell ward, Bolton. He looks composed in his Lamborghini Huracán Spyder, worth £100,000-£200,000, it does 19-23 mpg.
He is a member of @TheGreenParty.

Why has Nigel Farage had so little to say about Peter Mandelson?
Absent for the debate on Wednesday following the Jeffrey Epstein revelations.
Absent for the debate in September after Mandelson was sacked as Ambassador.
He’s never mentioned him in Parliament.
Why isn’t the man who claims to be the real opposition front and centre of the criticism of Keir Starmer and Peter Mandelson during the biggest political scandal in a generation?
Kemi Badenoch is.
Looks awfully ‘pally and cosy’ in that picture doesn’t he @ZiaYusufUK?
As someone who entered politics 18 months ago, I’ve been shocked at just how pally and cosy politicians from legacy parties are with each other in green rooms.
It’s telling.
They laugh at how ill informed they think voters are, catch up like all friends, then go on panels and pretend to oppose each other.
It’s why nothing changes whether people vote Tory or Labour.
They’re globalist, open borders Britain-hating traitors.
Which is why they post stuff like this from the BBC, who of course are in the same boat.
I find it sickening.
They are the establishment.
They must be cleared out.
Soon, they will be.

The cat’s out of the bag!
Farage's Tory turncoats would replace our NHS with an insurance system. We can't let Reform UK anywhere near it.
Labour built the NHS. It’s now on the road to recovery.
With Labour’s NHS, whenever you’re ill, you’ll never have to worry about the bill!

#Reform Council in #Lancashire …
The #Reform Councillor in charge of care homes, is going to shut council care homes, forcing residents to move to private care homes.
On an ‘unrelated’ note, the same #Reform Councillor is the owner of multiple local private care homes.

I for one, quite like having human rights.
I also quite like that we all have them.
I'm deeply suspicious of anyone who would try to take them away.
