Something very wrong here. Farage doesn’t get touched. A prime minister who made an error and apologises gets hounded. UK political press looks biased, bought and very corrupt. Banana Republic corrupt.

Nigel Farage secretly accepting a FIVE MILLION POUNDS gift from a Thai-based crypto tycoon is one of the biggest political financial scandals of this or any era. Farage, for himself not the many. theguardian.com/politics/2026/…

I know there is a lot of news around but can someone at the Beeb explain to me how a man they keep telling us might be the next PM getting an undisclosed donation of FIVE MILLION POUNDS from a Thai based crypto dealer (with a BS explanation about it being for lifelong security) is not even a news story when the man he wants to replace led the news for days over some glasses and Arsenal tickets?

Farage received £5m from donor before he became MP bbc.in/49bQDqf

Given there was wall to wall coverage of Keir Starmer’s glasses, presumably there will be a robust focus on Nigel Farage having received a £5 million personal donation?

🇬🇧🇺🇸🇺🇦 King Charles III: American leadership helped rebuild a shattered continent, playing a decisive role as a defender of freedom in Europe. We—and I shall never forget that—not least as freedom is again under attack following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Indeed, you recently commented, Mr. President, that if it were not for the United States, European countries would be speaking German. Dare I say that if it wasn't for us, you'd be speaking French. In the immediate aftermath of 9/11, when NATO invoked Article 5 for the first time and the UNSC was united in the face of terror, we answered the call together, as our people have done so for more than a century. Shoulder to shoulder through two world wars, the Cold War, Afghanistan, and moments that have defined our shared security. Today, that same unyielding resolve is needed for the defense of Ukraine and her most courageous people. The bond of kinship and identity between America and the United Kingdom is priceless and eternal. It is irreplaceable and unbreakable.

In any normal country, purchasing stolen goods is an act that entails legal liability. This applies, in particular, to grain stolen by Russia. Another vessel carrying such grain has arrived at a port in Israel and is preparing to unload. This is not – and cannot be – legitimate business. The Israeli authorities cannot be unaware of which ships are arriving at the country’s ports and what cargo they are carrying. Russia is systematically seizing grain on temporarily occupied Ukrainian land and organizing its export through individuals linked to the occupiers. Such schemes violate the laws of the State of Israel itself. Ukraine has taken all necessary steps through diplomatic channels to prevent such incidents. However, we see that yet another such vessel has not been stopped. I have instructed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine to inform all partners of our state about the situation. Based on information from our intelligence services, Ukraine is preparing a relevant sanctions package that will cover both those directly transporting this grain and the individuals and legal entities attempting to profit from this criminal scheme. We will also coordinate with European partners to ensure that the relevant individuals are included in European sanctions regimes. Ukraine counts on partnership and mutual respect with every state. We are genuinely working to enhance security, particularly in the Middle East region. We expect that the Israeli authorities will respect Ukraine and refrain from actions that undermine our bilateral relations.

This guy is utterly unfit for public office. He complains about threatening language and then uses it himself. Grotesque.

Finland’s President Alexander Stubb said the situation has fundamentally changed, stating that Europe needs Ukraine more than Ukraine needs Europe. He added that he doesn't expect a peace agreement anytime soon, saying he doesn't see Putin changing his mind. #Ukraine
