Not if he’s working for Russia

Johnson overrode advice about appointing the son of a KGB officer into the Lords.

Nothing from the media. Not a whisper.

Starmer doesn’t override advice

Media storm and a hounding of epic proportions.

It’s also baffling as Farage will fuck them in the bin as soon as he becomes PM

Magyar Péter (Ne féljetek) * ... @magyarpeterMP Until 31 May, the Orbán puppets may voluntarily step down from their positions. This applies to the President of Hungary, the President of the Curia, the President of the National Office for the Judiciary, the President of the Constitutional Court, and the Prosecutor General. On 12 April, the Hungarian people voted for a complete political transformation. If these officials do not step down voluntarily by 31 May, then - on the basis of the mandate received from millions of Hungarians — we will remove them from office.

Hungary’s Péter Magyar issues an ultimatum.

Telegraph newspaper editorial on Mandelson's appointment in December 2024 versus editorial today

OMFG I had to go and check that this ACTUALLY happened.

Since when does the BBC ever do chyrons with a political party's branding, rather than their own? Not to mention this is during a pre-election campaign purdah.

British politics are in a depressing state and anybody who feels gleeful about recent events, perhaps because they enjoy the excitement of seeing the world burn, or because they dislike one of the people involved, is a short-sighted moron.

Who Funds Nigel Farage? Mapping His Millions Reform UK leader Nigel Farage is the highest-paid Member of Parliament. In less than two years as the MP for Clacton, Farage has racked up £2 million in personal income and gifts, on top of his £94,00...

With Farage making a shed load of money from bitcoin and an assortment of weird companies, we’ve launched a map and live tracker of his income 👇🏻👇🏻

I feel sorry for the Tory and Labour activists who bust a gut to get Lee Anderson* and Zarah Sultana elected.
I doubt whether they knew both of them were unbearable grandstanding wazzocks at the time.

Zarah / Farage - Two cheeks of the same clickbait arse.

Those on TikTok & Insta who have decency at heart will think she did great.

Sadly, so will Putin.

It's all so lame. Clickbait generating, ala Farage.

I do. He should just stay. Comparatively to what previous Tories & current Reform leaders have been up to, it's a total non-story.

Estonia, Lithuania informed of US weapons delivery delays - EFE The prime ministers of Estonia and Lithuania, Kristen Michal and Inga Ruginiene, respectively, announced possible delays in US weapons.

Hopefully won't be as important as I fear it might be in a few months time...

The U.S. has significantly reduced its weapons stocks after it launched the war on Iran seven weeks ago. As a result, deliveries of weapons purchased by European countries have been postponed, Reuters news agency reported on Friday. The main concern for Estonia is the availability of ammunition for the M142 HIMARS multiple rocket launcher system. "We do not have very much information. Some of it was supposed to come during this year, then next year and the year after. We have these divided up by year, but at the moment there is very little information," Minister of Defense Hanno Pevkur (Reform) told ETV's evening news show "Aktuaalne kaamera.' "

ERR: The delay in U.S. defense deliveries mainly affects Estonia's ammunition for the HIMARS multiple rocket launcher system, some of which was supposed to arrive already this year.

Voting Reform is the equivalent of voting twice for Trump.
It is an act of pure ignorance, or racism, or both.
And, as we all know, it leads nowhere good.

Please god UK. Do not let that happen. Learn from our mistakes. Learn from America’s mistakes.
Just get your shit together.

The difference between Richard Tice and Angela Rayner is that Tice knew exactly what he was doing. Rayner was in completely uncharted waters relying on the wisdom of others.

In case you’re confused - the £100k of tax Richard Tice failed to pay here is totally different to the
- £92k of tax not properly withheld on dividends
- the £600k side-stepped via highly aggressive tax avoidance
