NEW: The Times has established that Nigel Farage and his partner own at least five homes spanning Surrey, Essex and Kent. All but one were bought with cash since 2000. Farage described himself as "skint" in 2017. thetimes.com/uk/politics/ar…
Routine destruction of Palestinian roads and water infrastructure in the Occupied West Bank, featuring the armored D9 Caterpiller produced in East Peoria, Illinois and provided free of charge using our taxpayer dollars.
This is funny - the next phase of the #hydration break in the #worldcup . Watch till the end #england
For those who doubt it, this is the timeline of corruption: Late May 2024: Christopher Harborne secretly transfers £5 million to Nigel Farage. 3 June 2024: Days after the transfer, Farage announces he will stand for Parliament. 4 July 2024: Farage is elected MP for Clacton. 29 May 2025: Farage announces that Reform UK will become the first British political party to accept donations in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. 29 May 2025: Speaking at the Bitcoin Conference in Las Vegas, Farage unveils plans for a Crypto Assets and Digital Finance Bill, including reducing capital gains tax on crypto assets from 24% to 10%, creating a Bitcoin reserve at the Bank of England, and preventing banks from debanking crypto users. September 2025: Farage publicly namechecks Tether and Bitfinex, companies in which Christopher Harborne is a major shareholder, and says he is going to the Bank of England to argue against restrictions on crypto and against the proposed digital pound. 13 October 2025: At the Digital Asset Summit in London, Farage says he wants to “bring crypto in from the cold” and immediately halt work on a UK central bank digital currency (“Britcoin”). 25 October 2025: At the Zebu Live crypto conference in London, Farage positions himself as a political champion of the crypto industry and repeats calls for lower crypto taxation and wider adoption. 3 November 2025: In a speech in the City of London, Farage again calls for crypto deregulation and for the UK to become a global crypto hub. If it could be proven that the £5 million secret payment influenced Farage’s actions as a sitting MP, that raises extremely serious questions. Potential issues could include parliamentary standards breaches, tax issues, bribery or corruption offences. Under the Bribery Act 2010, the most serious bribery offences carry a maximum sentence of 10 years’ imprisonment.
Nigel Farage is in real trouble and he knows it. He was rattled on his interviews today. If it can be proven his £5 million bung was related to political influence, he could ultimately face criminal bribery and corruption charges, which carry up to 10 years in prison.
The UN inquiry’s findings that genocide is being carried out by Israeli authorities and security forces in Gaza - as well as crimes against humanity and war crimes - and additionally war crimes in the occupied West Bank - is due to what the inquiry found was the deliberate targeting of children - and it is horrifying reading. The details of the targeting are chilling. Children. Killed. Wounded. Tortured. Starved. Raped. On a mass scale
If you have a spare 3 mins and 45 secs today, watch this fantastic grilling by Sally Nugent on BBC Breakfast. The very first time I've seen Farage questioned properly about his £5M bung, and it's fair to say, he totally fluffed it. There are points when you can see Farage tremble and even accuse the BBC of putting him in danger. 🤦♂️ It was for security. It was for cars. Nobody cares. It's no one's business. He won't tell us. DANGER! At one point, he let slip that the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards may 'disagree' with him on the rules around donations. He knows he's going to be found guilty on this one. He's in trouble, and his face gave it away gloriously. Top hats off to Sally Nugent. Stellar work. 👏
A small public service announcement from the Department of Things That You Should Know… It has not “peeked” your interest. Nor has it “peaked” your interest. …It has piqued your interest. You are not “phased” by something. You are fazed by it. If you’ve had a long day, you are weary. If you suspect someone is an idiot, you are wary. It is “due course”, not “do course”. “Per se”, not “per say”. And while we’re here, it’s “could have”, not “could of”, but that particular battle may already be lost. Thank you for your attention during this brief outbreak of grammatical housekeeping. This has been a @LairdofthManor announcement.🎩💙
How it started..: Meta’s lawyers silenced Facebook whistleblower Sarah Wynn-Williams for her @hayfestival panel with @superwuster and @carolecadwalla… 🧵1/ (Here’s a clip of what that looked like)
Observation from #SuperReturn Berlin. While overall quality of GP pitches is improving, many of them are bland and over- complicated. We see many opportunities to differentiate and stand out with LPs. See BenjaminBall.com/private-equity
George Orwell’s 1984 was published today in 1949. “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”
Whenever certain campaigning around social media bans or Martyn's Law is brought up, I'm reminded of this Mitchell and Webb radio sketch from 2005. Here's a transcript: -- Those are the headlines at 5.09 and for an immediate reaction to today's event I think we can speak to Tom Hilton hello Tom? uh hello Chris Pal here from Radio 4, thanks for speaking to us. Can I ask what your response is to today's announcement that Rail North East will not be funding the laser assisted train early warning system? uh well yeah I personally think it's a shame So it's shame on the management, shame on the government? well I suppose but look - can I just say I'm really not the best person to talk to about this, I mean it's weird you even happen to to call me. You see by a spooky coincidence I actually lost my wife in a train crash. Yes, we know. one that exactly this kind of system could have prevented. That's why we were in touch with you Tom. oh! oh right. blimey that does seem a bit... almost... ghoulish. Well, no it's it's because you've got personal experience of a rail tragedy that your views are so important. really? I would have thought that it was because I've got personal experience of a rail tragedy that my views should be dismissed out of hand. No, no, look... Would you say that, to you, safety is by far the most important issue facing the rail network? well of course I would my wife just died in a train crash. Thank you. but you really should talk to someone else it's impossible for me to have any objectivity at all. Right, but, but if spending the three billion on the system could bring back your wife, that would be worth it? well, obviously, although I must stress I lack - any - objectivity. Nevertheless, what would you say to the minister? What would your message be to him? my message would be: minister, good luck in judging how to allocate your finite resources given the many competing demands you face.

Did you know Korea sells “one-a-day” banana packs? Instead of every banana ripening at once, each one is at a different stage. One is ready today. The next one is ready tomorrow. The last one is still spiritually in college, “experimenting.” Simple. Genius. Solves the entire banana problem. What do you think? Would you prefer your bananas this way?
If you think that’s impressive, zoom out 700 years. The cost of lighting in the UK has fallen from £35,000 per million lumen-hours in 1300 to essentially £0 today. One of the most underrated progress charts ever made.
This was shocking to me. Lighting has gone from the largest residential use of electricity to the sixth-largest in my lifetime. Clothes dryers alone now use more aggregate electricity than lighting in people's homes.
Joby just completed it's first electric aircraft flight , JFK to Manhattan in 10 minutes , future is here
