Sen Raskin called Nigel Farage “pro-Putin” in Washington this week. Farage has denied this. Luckily I compiled all of his Kremlin apologia for @bigissue.com www.bigissue.com/opinion/nige...

Raskin: "The dictators of the world have got nothing to fear from this hearing. Republicans called it to attack our democratic allies in Europe. The star witness is not a human rights leader like Navalny, but a far-right pro-Putin politician who leads the UK Reform Party."

From what I experienced counter-protesting Nazis outside a hotel last week, their visceral hatred of Starmer will mean his adoption of flags might make them uncool in those circles.

We need to tax wealth not work. Why? Because usually no matter how hard you work, the compound interest on huge wealth grows much faster than your wages + the rich use this passive income to buy all the assets. Someone made a game to show this: therichdont.work

Starmer ravages Farage: "The honourable member for Clacton is not here... he's flown to America to badmouth and talkdown our country. And worse than that... he's gone there to lobby the Americans to impose sanctions. You cannot get more unpatriotic than that. It's a disgrace."

Actively resent the fact we’re expected to listen to a press conference on “mass deportations” as if this is a perfectly normal, mainstream thing and not the unhinged rantings of a racist who is somehow on my television.
