Many of the British media siding with Trump on Iran after he said UK troops hung back in Afghanistan is pretty astounding and very odd.
No more forever wars?
Trump has authorized more individual air strikes in 2025 than Biden did in four years.
Hmmmmβ¦
Did I miss the part of the #bbclaurak interview yesterday where Johnson was interrogated about his potential role in Bannonβs plot to overthrow Theresa May.
Potentially plotting with foreign actors to overthrow the prime minister of your own country is a very serious matter.
How is Yaxley Lennon allowed into the US immediately with all his criminal convictions whilst other people get their social media searched?
Reform MPs make up 1.8% of parliament.
Do you think media coverage fairly reflects this?
Interesting that Reform talk about the government betraying the UK whenβ¦
- Nathan Gill took bribes from the Kremlin
- Farage mentioned multiple times in the Epstein files as plotting with Bannon
- Ticeβs family based in the UAE
Any of those three patriotic?
There appears to be evidence in the Epstein files that that Farage, Johnson and Rees-Mogg discussed with a foreign national Steve Bannon the possibility of bringing down a British PM.
Why is the media not investigating this?
Manchester United. 21 man squad, 13 of which are immigrants.
All paying taxes.
Tax paid by Ratcliffe - Β£0
Tax paid by immigrants - Β£15-25 billion estimated
So when are the media also going to scrutinise Farageβs Clacton house, Davos trip funding, Epstein file mentions and Bannon / Russia links?
Just asking.
Andrew leaking confidential trade envoy secrets to Epstein must lead to him being questioned by the police.
Nobody, no matter what title, background, or level of power, should be beyond accountability in this horrific scandal.
Staggering that Jeff Bezos, one of the richest men in the world, fired more than 300 Washington Post staff and didnβt even bother to arrange for them to get safely home.
Left abandoned in war zones and having to crowd source to get home.
Great scoop by Byline. Farage was paid by Trump crypt adviser who worked with Russia operative Paul Manafort.
He received payment from David Bailey, who collaborated with the convicted fraudster behind the Trump-Russia influence scandal.
This should be all over the media.
Stephen Miller and Farage will tell you immigration is the only problem.
The Epstein files show thereβs a lot wrong with rich, powerful citizens.
For supposed anti-establishment heroes, theyβre very quiet on this.
Another morning and still nothing from Farage or Yaxley Lennon?
They usually have so much to sayβ¦
Nigel Farage unusually quiet this morning. Imagine the media if this was a Labour or Conservatives leaderβ¦
Reform struggling to tell a difference between a Prime Minister on a trade visit and a party member who committed treason by accepting Russian bribes.
Doesn't sound like a competent government in waiting to me.
So Reform have now signed up:
- Liz Trussβs Party chairman
- Liz Trussβs chancellor of the duchy of Lancaster
- Liz Trussβs Home Secretary
- Liz Trussβs Minister for Health
Who do you think may be next?
Iβm not sure mimicking Trump and signing up the worst of a bad bunch from the last Conservative government is the electoral masterstroke Reform think it is.

"Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared."
Said it before, Mahmood is one of Labourβs best performers. Direct, refreshing and action driven.

Who are they all talking about?
Lindsey Graham: βA race baiting bigot.β
Marco Rubio: βA con artist.β
JD Vance: βThe Americanβs Hitlerβ
Hegseth: βAll bluster, low substance - an armchair tough guy. He sought his 5 military deferments.β
Itβs Saturday. Why not.

The confusing thing about Witkoff is that a negotiator needs to spend an equal amount of time with both parties to reach a deal.
Witkoff seems to only spends time in Moscow so what deal is he hoping to reach?
Trump just told an audience in Switzerland without us, right now you'd all be speaking German.
German is the main language of Switzerland.
