US Secretary of Health Robert F Kennedy Jr. has said that Arabs don’t produce science or literature, or win Nobel prizes.
RFK Jr.’s remarks, which were made during a Republican rally, have been widely condemned as factually incorrect and racially biased.

Fantastic interviewing from the BBC’s @sallynugent.
Imagine if Farage had got this kind of scrutiny and persistent questioning from UK media interviewers over the past decade? The UK might not be in the mess it is today.
Look how annoyed and uncomfortable he is.

Sally Nugent asks Nigel Farage about Raheem Kassam's “Nigerian scammer” comments on Kemi Badenoch and his response is painful to watch.

JD Vance's in-laws' names are Radhakrishna Chilukuri and Lakshmi Chilukuri. I wonder if he tells them this stuff, too. To their faces. Or does he just save it for white MAGA rallies?
Truly a racist pathetic embarrassment of a son-in-law to his brown Indian immigrant in-laws.

Striking how fast Reform went from free-press defenders to calling for the arrest of journalists who investigate it.
Its move to the populist-authoritarian model is unlikely to do much for its poll rating.
STATEMENT:
Reform UK has reported ITV, its board, and its undercover reporters to the police.
Some of the crimes carry up to 10 years in prison.
They forged a passport.
They directly interfered in elections and almost certainly altered the results. Being paid to “canvass” for Reform in crucial wards we lost by a few dozen votes.
They lied to a veteran about their service and left him “violated”.
This is unprecedented.
The police are now involved.
Scrutiny of political parties is one thing.
But anyone breaking the law to try and ruin the lives of Reform’s staff, members or volunteers will be reported to the police and pursued relentlessly in the courts.
Here’s what happened 👇

EXCL: Nigel Farage’s newest billionaire donor was in business with a powerful Iranian religious foundation under the authority of the country’s supreme leader, raising questions about his past dealings with the hardline republic.
Hossein Ghandehari, also called Sasan, was little known in the UK until he pledged to give millions to Reform UK this summer and donated £50,000 to Farage to cover the cost of two passes for the Davos World Economic Forum.

"Putin is a demagogic dictator. He does not respect human rights in his country or anywhere else for that matter."
Steve Witkoff says Putin is a 'humanitarian'. Does that square with the reality of four years of Russian war in Ukraine, asks @jonsopel.

Republican Sen. Thom Tillis:
“WTF, Steve? Look up the definition of “humanitarian.” What an embarrassing and outrageous thing to say.”

Either the President was lying or Musk was lying, but the decision to slow down satellite speed and access has life or death consequences for Ukraine.
This deserves a full investigation by the Senate. Elon Musk should be compelled to testify before Congress and under oath.
National security decisions should be made in our national security interests, and not based on the personal whim of an unstable executive.

EXCL: Senior Reform UK official raised questions about whether major donations from two billionaire backers would be legal under proposed new foreign donors cap three months before they gave £72m to the party.
James Orr, then Reform UK’s head of policy, discussed potential difficulties around future donations from Christopher Harborne and Ben Delo in undercover footage captured by the investigative reporting group Verbatim.
A reporter was posing as a potential donor when Orr talked to him about “filling the war chest in anticipation” of tougher donations rules, describing it as the establishment trying to “kneecap” the party. Story by @rowenamason

“You’d have to go back to the Jim Crow era to find a party so celebrating of racism”.
Trump’s rallies are now ‘dripping in racism’ - as his approval ratings continue to plummet.
Does he really think Americans will vote for this?

Talarico: "We just found out that [Elon Musk] is almost single-handedly bankrolling this effort to install Ken Paxton in the U.S. Senate and defeat this movement...Elon Musk wants our land. He wants our water. He wants his very own personal United States senator. He is trying to buy Texas."
