Byline Times has been told by various sources that Farage has maintained a close interest in Ukraine’s conflict with Russia…
But Farage’s ignorance of this particular set of pro-Russian influencers around Nathan Gill is even more questionable….

'Stunned?' Farage's Admission He Knew Nathan Gill but Not His Kremlin Associates Does Not Stand Up to Scrutiny

Insiders have told Byline Times, it is 'inconceivable' the Reform Leader did not know about his close aide's pro Russian statements

Private Eye offers up an excellently scornful commentary on the relentless polling. It’s become ridiculous and has oversimplified our politics to dangerous levels of stupid and irresponsible.

SHOCK POLL:
NIGEL FARAGE WILL BE PM TOMORROW
IN an amazing poll conducted
by The Pointless Polling Company, it was revealed that voters' intentions
may well change over the next three and a half years and at present it's 100 percent impossible to guess what the next government might look like.
However, 99 percent of journalists
agree that it would be much more fun if we had an election tomorrow and everybody resigned and everything was chaos and Farage had a go at being PM, just for the hell of it, because it was so much fun when
Brexit happened and then the government kept falling every five minutes and we could write endless pieces about (cont. p94)

Yes I have similar memories but for child septicaemia.
I'm glad to say that we never lost an epi during my career, however we had halothane which made the process easier. Even as colleagues moved on to other agents I insisted we keep one halothane vaporiser while I was till working just in case.

Good grief - amazing insight. White coats were necessary for the handbooks we carried with us...I also created my own notes based on a notebook that had A-Z Index. It was my bible until the first Psion Series 3 became available. After that everything was electronic though internet came much later.

What the hell does Farage thinks he’s doing, going off to America *again* to maliciously slag off British teachers at some private Christian college, while offering to peddle their courses over here?
What a repulsive, grubby little traitor.
