Hare is Nigel Farage talking about Russel Brand.
Claiming witnesses had ‘come out of the woodwork’ & that Brand had upset some very important people saying ‘if you go out there and upset powerful people you have to be clear there is nothing they can hit you back with.’

Nigel Farage appeared on Russell Brand’s podcast in July 2024, nine months after police launched an investigation into Brand over sexual assault allegations and ten months after Channel 4’s Dispatches documentary, Russell Brand: In Plain Sight, first aired on 16 September 2023.

“You joined the Greens to protect our rivers, our wildlife and our countryside…”
@LibDems net zero spokesperson @pippaheylings has written an open letter to Green members as COP31 gets under way
No, it isn't ethnocide, genocide or any great replacement conspiracy. Look how the Welsh Census is worded. That's the change.

Today is Remembrance Day, when we pause to remember the horrific sacrifices of war made on our behalf by the generations that came before. Donald the draft dodger has demanded that we do not use that name. As with so much else, he should be ignored.
So can people now stop posting little britain and come fly with me videos on Facebook with captions like "when britain made proper good comedy"

This should be played over and over on loop until everyone knows that @Nigel_Farage supported Donald Trump blindly on Iran.
At every opportunity up until he realised the British people didn’t.
Own your actions, Nigel.
Nigel Farage says that he expects Donald Trump to dramatically increase military action in Iran.
"I can see it. I can feel it. I'm looking at the staff changes that have taken place just in the last 48 hours," he tells @bbclaurak

I've seen a few articles about this regarding Reform and the RNLI, here's an account from a Lib Dem councillor who was in the chamber, all Reform care about is demonizing imigrants

I'm less impressed by how @ossoff speaks (though he's terrific at that too) and more impressed by what he says.
This 2-minute clip is the best explanation of Trump corruption that I've ever heard. His explanation of the Russian dirty deals is so accurate and so clear. He knows the facts cold. And he explains them better than I can.

Important doc film on Iran protests in January that led to massacres (my pinned tweet says 43,000 but many of the 350,000 injured now confirmed dead). @BBCOne at 8pm. I’ve been critical of British journalists reporting from inside Iran but this one focusses on those who got out. Must watch TV tonight bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c3qj…

The plan as it was in 2017 and as it is now. From 1 million homes and 1.1 million jobs to a much smaller development around Cambridge.
New post:
We have a guest post from John Kingman + Shriti Vadera on Britain's biggest near-term economic opportunity:
Getting the Ox-Cam Arc back up + running.
They show how it can pay for itself and what it needed to make it happen.
