Nigel Farage just took a question from a 'journalist' at his press conference, who turned out to be his former chief adviser Raheem Kassam, who asks him why the media are being so unfair to him

Just back from Barts hospital for bi-annual not dead yet check. Staff are absolutely brilliant and I’m lucky to live so close as they have patents from all over the country. Big up to the NHS 💙

#Melania Your husband was gleeful about the deaths of #RobertMueller & #RobReiner, he yells at & demeans female reporters on a weekly basis, he encouraged a mob to endanger the life of his former Vice President. And on and on. . .

Nigel Farage has been accused by multiple people he grew up with of extreme antisemitic comments and behaviour.
Yet he's allowed to present himself as a champion of Jewish people.
Meanwhile, our only Jewish leader, Zack Polanski, is smeared - because he opposes genocide.

The Epstein crisis is escalating.
Reports say Ghislaine Maxwell may be seeking a pardon as lawmakers demand answers from the DOJ over missing files and unanswered subpoenas.

The people of Iran aren’t free. Iran can now charge tolls. The nuclear material sits EXACTLY where it did, in the same amount, since June. The regime is still in place with a younger ayatollah. Iran still was launching missiles, now with more money to rebuild.

Money will be made by Iran, since your deal just allowed them to charge $2 million per ship to pass through—a fee that never existed prior to the war.
