Your weekend reminder that Nigel Farage wants to

- leave the ECHR

- repeal the Equality Act

- Strip back workers rights

- Lift restrictions on exploitative zero-hours contracts

- repeal the Renters’ Rights Act which abolishes no fault evictions

He is not on your side

Thank you for this, @privateeyenews.bsky.social
Farage needs ridiculing far more. It’s a form of scrutiny he can’t cope with and one he so richly - yes pun intended - deserves.

Over the last few months these guys made me proud to be British: kind, practical, profoundly moral, a testament to this island. Now they're targeted by the very worst of us. I just gave them a bunch of money. You should too. Show those fascist clowns what's what.

So much of the right these days have a massive patriotism problem. This guy:
- is a tax exile (left long before this govt)
- hates his own country while complaining he doesn’t get big enough subsidies from it

If you add in £130m losses on “Reform TV” (aka GB News) the effective subsidy of Farage’s party from just four men tops £200m. You just have to join the dots app.prospectmagazine.co.uk/story/75017/...
Farage and the £130m even his detractors have missed
GB news has provided relentless positive PR for Nigel Farage while racking up tens of millions in financial losses. And now there is a new channel in the offing

The RNLI rescued Luftwaffe pilots in WW2 because the organisation is there to 'save life at sea' - it's something to be immensely proud of.

But as I've said many times before Farage and Co don't seem to have pride in Britain and its institutions beyond flags and crap Enoch Powell said 60 years ago.
This should be the moment people finally realise that Farage has turned them into fascists.
If you’re choosing this dangerous inhumanity over the rescue work of the RNLI, you’ve lost your minds to racism and hatred.

One minute you're thinking 4 or five batting bonus points, maybe the spinners winning it on Friday. The next you're thinking - it's about time the captain packed it in, why didn't we get an overseas batter and that Div 2 is what we deserve. @yorkshireccc.bsky.social

Almost like they're not "ordinary people with concerns" but criminals.

With all respect to the BBC, the reason this story "matters" is not about whether it distracts from Reform's conference. It "matters" because it is important our leaders are not conspiring to break the law.

“No amount of headline-chasing, or following Reform to the extremes can hide the damage the Tories did to our housing system”

So v bored of the rightwing elbowing each other out of the way to be the most racist, the most vengeful.
