If you’re wondering why UK press has suddenly woken up to Farage, please read this.
It’s because: Brexit.
The r/w press refused to scrutinise the money behind Farage & the lawsuit against me scared off the rest.
But this isn’t a new scandal. It’s the same one I’ve been reporting on for a decade

The IRS has agreed to not audit Trump's taxes. But in 2024, a @propublica.org @nytimes.com investigation found that a long-running audit involved Trump allegedly claiming the same huge write-off twice on a Chicago tower.
That audit could've led to a tax bill of $100M for Trump.

No modern president has glorified violence as much as this one
Here’s Trump threatening violence, calling for his political enemies’ executions, celebrating the deaths of people he didn’t like, and otherwise casually promoting political violence. There was also the small matter of Jan. 6 and subsequent pardons for violent felons.
