🚨 Former MI6 chief Sir Richard Moore says he is “very confident” Russia would have interfered in the Brexit debate and would be surprised if there had been no Russian activity.
This really matters bc Farage is still insisting there was no interference at all.
The argument now isn’t whether Russia has a history of manipulating divisive Western political issues, the former head of MI6 says that is exactly what they do.
The unanswered question is what they did in 2016, who knew about it, and why Britain never properly investigated it.

Some professional news from me.
I am really excited to announce a new company I am launching with my friend Catrin Pascoe - The Cymru News Network.
Wales is a wonderful nation of communities. We have our own parliament and language but also wrestle with significant challenges.
The issue is we simply don’t have a media ecosystem that reflects the reality of what our country is.
Now don’t get me wrong, Wales has some incredible journalists, as well as some brilliant news organisations.
The problem is, we don’t have enough of them.
This lack of paid opportunities in turn has serious consequences for aspiring young journalists in Wales.
Talented reporters see Wales as a stepping stone rather than the destination in their careers.
Wales therefore loses talent as there is no defined pathway for developing it.
This is where The Cymru News Network comes in. Its long term aim is to create an overarching news service for Wales.
We know that Wales is often overlooked, misrepresented and under-reported in wider UK media. Ultimately, we feel that if somebody is going to tell Wales’ story, that “somebody” should be the people of Wales.
So why am I putting this out there now? Well because we are looking to secure long-term corporate partners.
We already have several fantastic organisations on board, but the more support we have, the better we can make our coverage and the quicker we can roll out.
This is the chance for your organisation to get in on the ground floor of something really exciting.
Whether that be marketing, advertising, highlighting important issues or something else, if you would like to find out more about how we could work together, please get in touch.
You can read the full details in the comments.
If I was going to walk to Istanbul I'd not start from there.

If the MP for Clacton were not a corrupt parasite on the take, there would be no need for a by-election.

One of your cryptocurrency donors will pay of course.
And what will he expect in return?
Another sit-down with the governor of the Bank of England?
It’s not about who pays, it’s about what they want in return you fucking idiot!

Hope you enjoyed your visit to Equatorial Taffs Well, the traffic light capital of Wales. 👍
For future reference we are actually in the county of Rhondda Cynon Taff (aka The Greater People’s Republic Of Pontypridd.) 😉
Great to be in Cardiff today to support @transport_wales ambitious rail vision. Billions of pounds of long-term investment will mean new stations, faster journeys, better connections and thousands of jobs - delivering the modern rail network Wales should have had years ago.

Sexual desire for children is not just protected, it’s monetised. It’s algorithmically amplified, fed into LLMs owned by Jeff's friends.
The global superpower is another close pal. This is Jeff’s World. And we're living in it.

Nigel Farage has kindly asked we stop sharing this video of him talking about why we should privatise the NHS 💙
You know what to do!

I worked with Farage from 1999-2003 when he was first elected as an MEP, sharing an office with him in Strasbourg. I stayed at his home, travelled with him, dined and entertained when we were in Europe, and worked with him in the UK.
Outwardly charming, he is in fact a vindictive, aggressive bully, with a huge chip on his shoulder. He is intolerant of criticism, has no loyalty to anyone, and will shaft anyone who disagrees with him, gets in his way or poses a threat (usually by underhand means, via third parties).
I am not surprised, therefore, that you have come to your view. Most people who have been close to Farage feel the same way and would not trust him in the slightest. Many more will come to the same conclusion, and eventually the Farage bubble will burst. I hope it does so before he does even more damage.

I don’t trust myself to make decisions so my neighbour does it for me. He looks after my money and tells me how much I’m allowed to spend. He uses all my water and electric and doesn’t pay me for it. He tells me I’m not capable of looking after myself and I believe him.

‘It takes only 2-5 years to destabilise a nation...The next stage is crisis. It may take only 6 weeks’ Listen to this ex KGB agent’s eerily prescient account of ‘active measures’ of how Russia seeks to destroy its enemies through chaos
