What did Tom Homan do with the $50K he took in a CAVA bag from undercover FBI agents?

Just keep asking this everyday. Its a big scandal they can't escape because Pam Bondi and her DOJ killed the investigation. They're cornered on this and the Epstein Files.

Brexit is Farage and his fellow Brexiters' shitstorm to own. He/they can't be allowed to just pivot from heckle to heckle and bad idea to worse - while blaming everyone else - without consequences.

So the suggestion that Labour are going to amplify that truth is to be welcomed.

Labour’s overdue war on Farage and Brexit has arrived. Here’s how to fight it

It is a great deal of Farage fault, it was his Brexit his lies, his racist agenda, Johnson was just a puppet in the middle of a coup and clearly wanted power by any means necessary and any agenda, as the Tory party does any thing for power, even makes trump a benign disease,
As they are malignant

Labour need to shouting this from the roof tops.

They need to be challenging Farage over his multiple jobs.
They need to be challenging Reform over their tex exile donor base.
They need to be challenging Reform policies at every opportunity.
