Would seem like the BBC and the rest of the right wing media have stopped promoting Reform and are now pushing the Greens in order to split the left wing vote. Polanski is nowhere near as good as Caroline Lucas was, but is getting ten times the coverage as they know he offers little threat.

Farage can now be easily boxed in to a corner where his only ‘defence’ becomes: “Yes I spouted Kremlin propaganda & Putin worship but, unlike Nathan Gill, I didn’t need bribes to do it.”
It is, once again, a question of whether interviewers have the temerity to shut down his whining obfuscations.

Strange that 20 people said he did, when Farage denied it...

Yes, Mr. President: You’re right. We do have “the worst health care” of any major country.
Despite spending twice as much per capita, we are the only major country not to guarantee health care to all as a human right.
The solution: Medicare for All.
