Starmer maybe rightly doesn’t take bait each time but he needs an outrider - a semi-licensed “off message” attack dog - to make Haw-Haw Farage pay for sucking up to the guy who denigrates British war dead.
Trump on NATO: "I've always said, will they be there if we ever needed them? That's really the ultimate test. I'm not sure of that. We've never needed them. They'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan and this or that. And they did. They stayed a little back, off the front lines."

So, is any of our media going to ask Farage for his response to this? Or does MAGA’s rep in the UK get to champion Trump without scrutiny too? As someone whose entire platform is wrapped in flags, it kind of matters. What does Farage’s patriotism really mean?

Reform told you reducing council tax was easy. They just had to slash Woke policies, and a billion or two would be saved. They wouldn't even need to close care services.
They promise you that.
And then every single Reform-led council cut care services and increased council tax.

"People tell lies during elections, and therefore I predict the next government will be a disappointment" is a strikingly original take. Tell me, when did it first occur to you?
This government is not "the centre-left", and given people like you have made hating the left your entire personality, you're not in a strong position to talk.
What really winds you up is everything I predicted came to pass and you can't dispute a word I wrote in my column. It must really sting!
