We must defend UK democracy from Russian interference and the wider web of dirty money and misinformation which enables bad actors to undermine trust in politics.

The Elections Bill is crucial in addressing this - the govt must not delay it any further.

This is the same bullshit the US government talks about.

It's always: "we must defend our democracy from Russian interference"

Yet all you Western nations and politicians aren't any better than Russia. You oppress your people in your own country.

Way too late they bought Brexit to split politics and bring Farage to top poling.
They succeeded. They also wanted to split Britain from EUROPEAN alliance to enable the invasion of Ukraine. Again successful!

IMO also.
Privately owned companies should not be able to hold any public office, only proper "democratic" parties.
Members then get a say, at least to some extent.
Political companies like deform UK are run by their owners, at their owners' whim/bribe of the day. That is undemocratic IMO

What about Farageโ€™s links to Russia and the Brexit Putin bought?
What about the Bannon/Farage link?
The US state department is providing funds to overthrow liberal democracies.

Why are folk not asking why so many Orkigarchs came to settle in London in the first place? It wasn't for the weather.

If MPs aren't asking authors such as @oliverbullough.bsky.social to give expert, public testimony, voters who've read 'Butler to the World' won't believe them.

Well, *of course* we must defend UK democracy from Russian interference, but also US interference, Israeli interference and global corporate interference.

BOTH are puppets of Putin, both spew the same right-wing, pro-Russia garbage! Both need to be far away from government.

You can CLAIM anything, but without credible evidence, you PROVE NOTHING.

The credible evidence shows that the #USA Has Interfered in More #Elections Than Any Other Nation (eg. the #US interferes in #Russia's elections).
