Summary
Ten years after the Kremlin helped tip the very close Brexit vote, Nigel Farage is shockingly leading UK polls. The Putin fanboy, bankrolled by a crypto-king in Thailand tied to Putin's propaganda machine, is making false promises like Donald Trump in the 2024 election. Farage and his billionaire backers want to install a Kremlin Trojan horse to dismantle the rule of law, enrich themselves and the transnational pedo-trade, and wage war on marginalized communities. The waves of hate violence plaguing the UK right now will only get worse.
Like Keir Starmer's time as Prime Minister, Putin is a dead man walking. While his puppets try to break the West, Ukraine is turning Crimea into the world's largest Russian prisoner-of-war camp. Supply lines are being cut, and Russians are fleeing the peninsula. Joining Gaslit Nation with a special message from Ukrainians and to discuss his recent trip to Ukraine is American veteran Ken Harbaugh, along with Russian mafia-expert and Gaslit Nation wing-woman extraordinaire, Olga Lautman, of the Trump Tyranny Tracker.

"Emma Briant, an academic expert on disinformation at George Washington University, has unearthed new e-mails that appear to reveal the earliest documented role played by Bannon in Brexit. The e-mails, which date back to October of 2015, show that Bannon, who was then the vice-president of Cambridge Analytica, an American firm largely owned by the U.S. hedge-fund billionaire Robert Mercer, was in the loop on discussions taking place at the time between his company and the leaders of Leave.EU, a far-right nationalist organization. The following month, Leave.EU publicly launched a campaign aimed at convincing British voters to support a referendum in favor of exiting the European Union. The U.K. narrowly voted for the so-called Brexit in June, 2016. The tumultuous fallout has roiled the U.K. ever since" https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/new-evidence-emerges-of-steve-bannon-and-cambridge-analyticas-role-in-brexit

| 0:00.0 | We are in this chaos and we will continue to be in this chaos because of what Brexit has done to our economy and our society. |
| 0:06.4 | Because ultimately, Brexit prevents any government from trying to allow the kind of economy and public services and living standards that really British voters expect. |
| 0:17.0 | And actually, rather than improve all the problems in British society in terms of wages, in terms of jobs, in terms of housing, that was promised in the referendum. |
| 0:25.8 | Actually, it's made all of those issues so much worse. |
| 0:28.4 | And I think ultimately it has kind of bound British prime ministers in a way that they weren't done before. |
| 0:33.7 | Because ultimately, the best way to get voters to vote for you is actually to grow the economy, |
| 0:40.5 | to increase living standards, to have good public services. And actually, they have very, very |
| 0:45.7 | few levers in which you can actually do that. And of course, ultimately, the best way of doing |
| 0:49.2 | that is through growth. And Brexit really constrains the UK's growth to a massive degree. We've already lost |
| 0:55.7 | about 6% of our growth. So I think really in terms of looking about the wider shot, about how did |
| 1:01.2 | the UK end up in this chaos, of course, it's Brexit. But of course, you know, the crucial point |
| 1:05.6 | here as well is who is waiting in the wings, who is leading an opinion polls in the UK, it's |
| 1:10.4 | Nigel Farage's Reform UK. |
| 1:11.6 | And of course, who was one of the main leaders of Brexit over the last few decades? |
| 1:15.6 | It was Nigel Farage. So in fact, he is the main beneficiary of his own failed policy. |
| 1:21.6 | So I think really the UK has to look very seriously about our current kind of constitutional economic setup because |
| 1:28.2 | it's simply not working for the UK and it will continue to cause problems for as long as we're |
| 1:33.6 | outside the European Union. |
| 1:35.4 | Ten years after winning the very close Brexit vote with the help of dirty Russian money |
| 1:41.6 | and over 156,000 Russian-based Twitter accounts |
