Glad to see Nigel Farage has finally remembered Nathan Gill, former leader of Reform in Wales - found guilty of taking bribes from Russia.

Maybe he'll now remember how much he took from Putin's propaganda broadcaster Russia Today for all his TV appearances when he was a MEP?

UPDATE: It took Nigel Farage over two weeks to finally respond to Nathan Gill’s conviction for eight counts of bribery for taking payments from a pro-Russian Ukrainian MP and close associate of one of Putin’s closest allies, Viktor Medvedchuk. Now new information has come to light.

In Epping we’ve had enough of that chilling feeling when you enter our once quiet market town - so we’re taking it back, taking the flags of hatred and division down. Some folk aren’t happy at all.

Congratulations María Corina Machado Parisca, wins 2025 Nobel Peace Prize for unwavering commitment to democratic rights in Venezuela & courage in leading a peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy.

A reminder that peace is rooted in representation, transparency, and the rule of law.

Nigel Farage accuses teachers of "poisoning our kids" on race issues.

Here's a reminder of what teachers and fellow pupils at Farage's own school remember of his own views on that subject.

They lionised a woman for calling for hotels full of asylum seekers to be set on fire. Now they're lionising a man who set fire to a Quran in public.

The far-right, whether it's Reform UK or Conservatives, are championing the cause of those who will violently tear our society apart.

Reprehensible.

As Farage declares his earnings the penny drops that those ‘visits’ to Clacton were photo opportunities, not actual work.
