Color Scheme

Dale Vince: Another day another possible...

Another day another possible dodgy donations scandal involving Reform. And now it involves Richard Tice as we learn of £1m 'given' to a company apparently belonging to Richard Tice, by the mother of Posh George, half of which was then donated to Reform - while the National Crime Agency have been unable to trace the source. These guys, what a complex web they weave. Surely there must be something to hide, otherwise just declare the donation and move on? The next move for Farage and Tice could even be behind bars, not the kind Farage likes to be seen in. https://thetimes.com/uk/politics/article/police-investigate-reform-donations-by-mother-of-fraudster-who-bankrolled-farage-3kd826j7h

Ben Judah: Between Emanuel’s speech yesterday and Burnham’s intervention today...

Between Emanuel’s speech yesterday and Burnham’s intervention today it is clear Western progressives are moving towards a position of sanctions on Israeli settlements and settler organisations. That’s a clear policy for where you want to be in 1-2 years of putting costs on the occupation. There’s also a clear policy of where you want to be eventually with a two or a “twenty-three” state solution. What’s lacking is any thinking on credible, viable, interim steps a post-Netanyahu Israeli government or a post-Abbas Palestinian Authority could conceivably carry in a 3-5 year horizon that could radically improve people’s lives. There is a real intellectual vacuum here, it’s quite striking with Democrats really, which Europeans should be thinking ahead about and to try and fill with serious proposals developed with Egypt and the Gulf. This is where we need peace thinking.

David Icke: There is such a big point being...

There is such a big point being missed in this YouTube algorithm story. The same Global Cult network ultimately controls the UK government, YouTube (Google), and the BBC etc. The government plans to impose tyranny on YouTube which then feigns 'resistance' when both are owned by the same force, but the public has to believe they are separate so they don't see what the game really is. Always follow the OUTCOME, not the words. The idea that YouTube, Google, Facebook, the lot of them, have any interest in protecting the free flow of information when they are owned by the same Cult that seeks to perceptually program the populous through control of information is utterly hilarious. Five minutes research into their 'free speech' track record will show you that. They are already using algorithms to dictate what you see and maintain the echo-chamber loops - not least Musk and X who are connected to the same network.

Liz Webster: Farage sold himself...

Farage sold himself as the man who would clean up politics. But the Sunday Times now alleges his political operation was quietly supported by George Cottrell, a convicted criminal and crypto-gambling figure. Staff. Security. Transport. Accommodation. Back office support. Farage denies breaking the rules. This matters because MPs must declare benefits that might reasonably be thought to influence their actions or words including relevant benefits received in the year before election. Farage reportedly declared one Cottrell-linked benefit. The Sunday Times alleges there was much more. And this is not isolated. Farage is already under investigation by the Parliamentary Standards Commissioner over a separate £5m gift from crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne. He denies wrongdoing there too. But the pattern is now impossible to ignore: crypto money private support undeclared benefits questions over influence and Reform shouting “nothing to see here”.
