Actual headline: “Farage sold himself to one foreign based crypto millionaire & has now sold his party to yet another one”. What a surprise that a party with little concrete policy has very specific policies on… crypto tax cuts

It’s not too late to stop this madness - the government has said the uk mega donors are a problem. The lords can bring in a cap on UK donors to stop any attempt to buy the next election. Share this and ask your MP to join us protecting British democracy.

On Germany: something I can’t stand is the idea that the Left and the Green parties haven’t offed arguments about the cost of living. They have! It’s just that they haven’t offered *hate*. The AfD have offered hate, that is their most passionate offering, that is primarily why they are thriving.

This was the point I emphasised about Palantir when I wrote about tech soverignty - their model is to make bits of the state dependent on them and them jack up the price.

Got a news alert this morning telling me that small boat crossings had fallen to the lowest level for 6 years and I think it’s really important to note that even though this is very arguably a success in dealing with the situation, it won’t matter one iota to the people who have made it their thing.

I do wish any of these pieces that criticise tax rises in favour of "welfare reform," would engage in the 16 year long experiment in welfare reform that has culminated in marginal savings and an increase (until recently) in child poverty. Truly, a mugs game.

After a donation, Trump intervened to let Live Nation-Ticketmaster off the hook in its monopoly trial.
After Bezos buttered him up, Amazon got a slap on the wrist for allegedly tricking people into Prime accounts.
After cutting business deals with them, he pardoned crypto felons.

I wish media outlets would describe Nathan Cofnas as a racist rather than a "self-defined race realist" which doesn't mean anything to most people.
His writing meets any definition of racism however narrowly and cautiously drawn.

Last night, the GOP members of the Senate approved Trump’s effort to destroy the rule of law in the US, wreck the Justice Dept., enable rampant corruption, defend pedophiles, and attack the president’s enemies. And they know they did those things. An egregious violation of their oaths of office.

Think this also fulfills my prediction that the rise of Restore allows the right to nod at a cordon sanitaire, but one with Reform on the inside.
Allister Heath in the Telegraph argues that the foundation of Restore's politics is a "Groyperification" into rabid conspiratorial populism that rejects ethnic & faith minorities being equally British.

The man Badenoch thinks should be a candidate because "the Conservative Party believes in second chances". So you can be literally convicted and imprisoned on multiple accounts of antisemitic harassment and get the all-clear from Kemi
