Nigel Farage took £585,000 from GB News. His MPs declared another £770,000. Four billionaires have spent £170 million building the media machine putting Reform in your living room every night.
Today the Guardian exposed them and what they expect in return. This is a political project funded from the top.

'Au bord de la rivière Marseilles.' Adolphe Monticelli painted hundreds of pictures from the 1870s with heavily textured, richly coloured surfaces; Cézanne was fascinated by his work, as was Van Gogh who compared his 'orchestration of tones,' to that of Delacroix.

@lulichill Yes, still around, hoping for the flood of light!

Described as 'almost frighteningly realistic,' and 'unfeminine,' by critics, this painting (1883) by Helene Schjerfbeck of her friend the artist Helena Westermarck depicts her absorbed in her work at the Academy of Fine Arts.

@ahistoryinart Not been on here much. Calming to see your continued presence 🙏🏻

@lulichill Hard to fathom how some critics viewed paintings.

@reformparty_uk is the biggest information war tool possible & is full of people who think they are patriots but who are de facto traitors.

Our NATO allies are preparing for conflict with Russia.
The best way to help our allies is to not be on the other side.
English
@FrankenforIowa Thank you for this.
We also need our own UK political parties to listen and not act in the interests of the other side @reformparty_uk

“What counts is not what sounds plausible, not what we would like to believe, not what one or two witnesses claim, but only what is supported by hard evidence rigorously and skeptically examined. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.”

@HolyoakeJ14576 @lunaperla @nw_nicholas @reformparty_uk This doesn’t pass the “smell” test.
Caerphilly now Gorton. A Printer making the same legal and ethical “mistake” with the same client ( to whom it donates) is beyond suspicious.

The mailing data comes from the public electoral register is my guess. That public database is used by all direct mail companies. Such companies pay for use of the list.
Yes, the final proof was signed off. It was after that that the cock up happened, according to the printing company, which has the signed off proof. The print company has admitted the error is the responsibility of the company and has apologised to all concerned.
English
If I remember correctly (I stood for Parliament in 2017) you send your artwork to the printers & they do the rest - print, add address from electoral roll, and post. If your artwork is A4 size, how can there be a trimming error, as claimed?

@HolyoakeJ14576 @lunaperla @nw_nicholas My partner works in this industry.
No campaign would ever go out w/o sign off of the live proofs.
That sign off would never be the responsibility of the printer or fulfilment house. @reformparty_uk are totally responsible.
Pertinently where are they getting their mailing data
English
@lunaperla @nw_nicholas The printing process feeds straight into a paper folding and envelope insertion process automatically. There is no manual intervention.
It is how all direct mailing exercises are done.

@skimartinbell That was it. My ex was taking part and we stayed in the same hotel as Will and his lovely wife. I fell in love with the mountains that week. I see you found a lovely spot ( in spite of the current administration!) 😊
English
@lulichill Yes, maybe that was for the Weisser Schuss race with Will Herrington!

For years, the UK has avoided one basic question: how have foreign powers, or bad actors, interfered with our democracy?

Remember the days when British politicians had the decency to resign when they were caught doing something dodgy?
I miss those days.
