“What we dream of is already present in the world.” - Rebecca Solnit, ‘Hope in the Dark’
It turns out the establishment was wrong. And Nigel Farage was right.

As we learn Ann’s murder WAS politically motivated, The Times has revealed the scale of the threat to Nigel’s life. Nigel has received 1,577 threats since February this year. Including 597 death threats. The most persistent individual targeting Farage sent 6 directed threats to him on Facebook between June 24 and July 6, including a message telling him to “get the f*** out of Wales before I just kill Nigel Farage … you can die at any f***ing moment.” Another individual posted on X last month saying: “Execute the striking Traitor Nigel Farage. TODAY,” followed by two further escalating posts within eight hours. A third individual wrote on X: “Can someone shoot Nigel Farage? Make him a self-fulfilling prophecy?” All the ‘journalists’ and MPs who attack him for accepting a gift to fund his security should hang their heads in shame. The government still provides him with no security. They did for a short while after the general election. Then - astonishingly - they cut it by 75% within weeks of the assassination of Charlie Kirk and sent David Lammy out to say Nigel “flirted with the Hitler Youth”. Reform stepped in to provide him with a detail of the original size, appropriate to the enormous threat. The establishment doesn’t want Nigel to have the required security for a reason. They incite violence against him for a reason. It’s exactly what it looks like.
Oh, that. No, you guys are deliberately trying to deflect from the £5m donation. That's self-evident. I'm not going to be apologising for that. I'm going to keep repeating it.
EXCL: Former Makerfield MP Josh Simons will not take a job in Andy Burnham's administration, the BBC has been told. Simons, whose resignation as an MP cleared the way for Burnham's return to parliament, has been heavily involved policy preparations for the new administration. A Labour source has said Simons has decided to take a breather after Burnham's premiership begins on 20th July. Simons resigned as a minister in February amid questions over his leadership of the think tank Labour Together.
