Did Farage ever sue the Mail on Sunday?

This threat was issued in June 2025, but I can find no further reference to events after that.

I wonder if Nigel Farage has actually visited a National Trust property?
If he had, he'd be aware the biggest issue is the occasional badly parked Honda Jazz and not tampons in the Gents.

This is not a border crossing.
There’s no law that any of us have to show our papers on the interior.

This is a blatant civil rights violation. How is anyone supposed to know whether this man is a real ICE agent or just pretending to be one?!

You don’t think they can handle the truth? They are Farage’s boats and the economy has been held back massively by Farage’s Brexit. He was the one who forced the Tories in 2019 to pull out of the SM and CU n exchange for an electoral pact with Johnson.
