Former Brexit Party MEP admits accepting bribes to shill for Russia, and frankly, it’s hard to understand why this revelation isn’t causing more of a stir. The pieces of the puzzle seem to be falling into place, and a disturbing picture is emerging. It’s like someone finally admitting what many suspected: that Putin’s fingerprints were all over Brexit. This is not just a vague feeling anymore; there’s now, allegedly, proof that some of the promises and campaigns of the Brexit movement were, in fact, directly funded.
This person’s actions certainly seem to qualify as something beyond just questionable; in the simplest terms, it appears to be a betrayal of trust and a profound affront to democratic values.… Continue reading
Over 100,000 anti-immigration protesters march in London, a staggering number that clearly indicates a significant level of concern and frustration within the UK population. It’s easy to see this as a singular event, but it’s crucial to understand the complex web of factors contributing to this demonstration, as it appears that the number of protestors is more than initially estimated, possibly reaching the heights of 3 million.

This contrasts with the UK government’s stated intention to avoid rejoining the single market or customs union.

The concern stemmed from Musk’s influence within Trump’s circle and the potential reputational damage to figures like Nigel Farage. These behind-the-scenes conversations highlight the tensions between Musk’s actions and the preferred image of the British right.
