Brexit has emphatically NOT failed It has massively increased the wealth & control of those that planned, funded & enacted it Putin’s beyond chuffed with a UK fractured from both EU & US And the vulture capitalists are loving the bargains & emergence of a N Altantic sweatshop

What’s worth remembering here with Manchester City is their charges also included failing to cooperate. Which surely impacts any possible leniency in the sanctions.

If the government cared about disinformation it would be figuring out how to reform the BBC and public media so it can provide citizens with an accurate picture of the world, in the face of foreign and domestic attempts to mislead. But it doesn't care, so we get this instead.
Security chiefs to set up new national centre to tackle disinformation and deepfakes from hostile states like Russia - with Andy Burnham saying government has a duty to “stem the poisonous tide” from damaging British interests. National Centre for Information Defence will “detect, attribute and disrupt” info attacks by foreign powers by bringing together intelligence agencies, law enforcement & social media companies. It will boost UK’s defensive capability to combat information warfare and build national resilience by helping communities combat disinfo, preventing “distorted & untrue” narrative about UK. theguardian.com/technology/2…

John Sweeney's fine book,The Real Nigel Farage, exposes Reform's leader for the disrurbed, dangerous & repulsive politician & person he is, & always has been. This is done through many interviews with many people who know Farage well, from working with him, being at school with him, or sleeping with him. What emerges is a cruel, vengeful, angry narcissist. His former colleague Neil Hamilton says 'Nigel wants to be the bride at every wedding.' The most significant revelation is the contempt Farage shows, in private, for working people, the very folk who are fuelling his popularity. This is our Trump, a dangerous & disrturbed man, skilled at political trickery & little else. Lord help us if he ever holds national power.

Russia doesn't need tanks on our streets to damage Britain. Fake accounts. Bot networks. Deepfakes. Manufactured outrage. Lies designed to turn Brit against Brit and destroy trust in democracy. The cheapest weapon Russia ever built is a gullible Brit with a social-media account.

Very much true. We would need to spend less on 'Information Defence' if we had a media with genuine intent and ability to scrutinise. But that ship sailed long ago. Instead we have more politically-owned media outlets to pollute the 'information sphere'. 👇
The darkness is deepening. UK: Reform TV set to take on GB News as the party plans to use some of its £72 million to set up a TV channel US: White House Launches ‘Trump TV’ Amid Feud With Press When media is corrupted, truth suffers, as the primary lens through which the public understands the world becomes warped - compromised by political pressure and financial bias. Individuals can no longer make informed choices.

BBC News spent Sunday referring to Jim Ratcliffe as one of Britain's richest men, except, he's an immigrant in Monaco, having moved there to avoid paying £4 billion in tax. They screen him complaining about those on benefits, even though he grew up in a council house, went to state school, had free university education, and has taken hundreds of millions in public state support from the UK, French and German governments. They screen him talking about broken Britain which is poor, but don't mention that he is a Brexiter, and Brexit has made the country poorer. Our national broadcaster should have spent the day providing context to his criticisms, instead they wrapped it in a bow, pushed it out, to stoke further division in society. I remember when the BBC was so much better than this, and I hope one day it will return to having better standards, than to simply churn out divisive nonsense masquerading as news and analysis.

Britain's richest man in 2019, Brexiter Sir Jim Ratcliffe, moved to Monaco to save £4bn in tax. Reform UK's mega-donors have been based in Hong Kong and Thailand. Both are significant users of tax havens. The big problem is not the migration of ordinary people. It is the migration of the super-rich and their money; depriving democracies of tax revenue and pushing more and more of the tax burden onto hard-pressed ordinary folk. Reform UK is the tax haven party - the party of global billionaires who only care about this country insofar as they can use it to boost their wealth. Tax Havens are parasites sucking the economic life out of normal economies and providing valuable services to tax dodgers, criminals, and dictators. We need an international campaign to abolish them. #PATH People Against Tax Havens

Watch this.
'He is a danger to our democracy.' Journalist John Sweeney tells James O'Brien that he's 'afraid' of Nigel Farage becoming Prime Minister since writing his book on the Reform leader.

Thomas Massie just went scorched Earth on the House floor. He’s demanding mass prosecutions. “The co-conspirators of Jeffrey Epstein.” “The rapists.” “The pedophiles.” “The ones who financed it.” “The ones who covered it up.” And his second Epstein files bill would give state attorneys general the power to finally “prosecute these crimes.” No matter what Trump’s DOJ says. “I’ve talked to the attorney general of New Mexico.” “There are crimes that occurred at Zorro Ranch for which there is no statute of limitations.” “We can still bring these pedophiles to justice.” @RepThomasMassie

King Charles inherited £650m tax free, gets £354m a year tax free from the tax payer including £132m personal spending money and has an estate worth £22bn that’s never taxed. Like if he needs a pay cut. RT if you want the Monarchy gone. #NotmyKing
