Not quite “no-one” as @rory-stewart.bsky.social spelled out in his memoir “Politics On The Edge”.

He wasn’t alone.

Yet the Tories still promoted her.
The most worrying thing about Truss isn’t her short lived premiership but the fact that she’d been a Cabinet Minister since 2014 and no-one appeared to have noticed her problematic character traits www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

So inured is BBC News to referencing any single thing with a negative connotation to Farage, it completely overlooks the fact his crypto-billionaire funder Christopher Harborne sits sixth, with a grubby £18.1bn.

Plenty more where that £5m came from, clearly.

Note that Farage has been found to have breached the code of conduct 17 times so far. And the consequences? Sweet FA
Understand that Nigel Farage is being investigated for a potential breach of rule 5 of MPs code of conduct which says that new MPs must register "all their current financial interests, and any registrable benefits" received in the 12 months before their election within one month of their election.

Doesn't pay any tax in the UK because he ran away to the Tax Haven Singapore to escape the effects of the Brexit he helped create.

Then he bought up hundred of millions of pounds of farmland to avoid tax, then cried when it was made taxable.

James Dyson is a scumbag.

I hope those who think #Reform are 'anti-establishment' (yeah, right, they’re as much the establishment as #Labour & #Tories) & believe they can bring change to the country are now realising they’re just #FarRight extremists & #racists who offer nothing but hate, austerity & misery.
Welcome to new Reform candidate, Derek Bullock. The Tories kicked him out twice for being racist, including a post saying "Shoot the P***s on the spot". But in Reform we view that less as a problem and more as a basic qualification.

People listened to Farage over Brexit. Then complained that they couldn't travel freely, that they had to pay extra for European goods, etc. It baffles me that people seem to be following Farage again, and expecting good things. Once bitten...
If it’s true Reform UK’s Treasury spokesperson Robert Jenrick told a business audience last night that renewable companies are "screwed" if Reform get in, it tells you everything about their readiness to inflict national self-harm in pursuit of ideological war on climate action.

Nigel Farage has cried fraud every single time he has lost an election. Oldham. Peterborough. Rochdale. Gorton and Denton.

Every time, no evidence. Every time, the result stood. The man calling postal voting a threat to democracy voted by post himself in 2024. Reform Watch launches Friday.

What the actual fuck?????!!! 😡

This is why UK & other countries don’t want to share intelligence with the USA

Because clearly the people receiving the intelligence have no fucking intelligence of their own & are actually fucking stupid

Starmer is exhibiting a degree of dignity that the right-wing press are uncomfortable with.
I’m surprised that no one has recently posted the front pages of the Daily Wail when they were overt Nazi supporters.
Have we woken up in America? The deeply unpatriotic Daily Mail and Sun seem to now be supporting a menace of a foreign leader over our own govt and national security. They are really only loyal to their own vested interests. Which are a direct threat to our own. The routine betrayal is sickening.

This👇. Nigel Farage, Boris Johnson and Jacob Rees Mogg should all be brought before a parliamentary committee to explain their connection to Steve Bannon, Jeffrey Epstein, the Brexit referendum and Russian interference in our elections. What is the punishment for treason?

Farage's Welsh UKIP leader is in prison for being a traitor. His Reform treasurer is in the Epstein files, as is Farage due to his close links to Bannon. No outrage from the RW press.

We need misinformation laws, to stop foreign ownership of the press & ownership by people living in tax havens.

This is why I've taken to ignoring British msm and 'journalists'. They created the narrative around Starmer and the Labour govt. Just look at the state of BBC political 'news' reporting, trash of the highest order. If they'd been on side Labour wouldn't be struggling.
