Nigel Farage never owns anything.
- 2010, his UKIP manifesto - disowns it
It included a compulsory dress code for taxi drivers. Promised £90bn of tax cuts (where have you heard that?)
- 2016, Brexit - disowns it
Claims Brexit had failed due to the policies of successive Conservative governments.

Could have been the UK, we had 3 times as much oil and gas.
Instead it was sold off by Thatcher for pennies and you got nothing.

In the 6th largest economy, 103000 people died in poverty in 2024.
120,000 died in fuel poverty, couldn't afford adequate heating.
Ethnic minorities, pensioners, single working age adults more likely to die in poverty.
Poverty and death sentence is a political choice as govts appease the rich.

They lied to courts, parliamentary committees.
Postmasters knowingly wrongfully prosecuted, Lives destroyed. Compensation being paid from public purse, none by those who profited from the scandal.
No one charged for conspiracy.

📊 It’s easy to lose sight of what all the numbers actually cost.
But behind every figure is a nurse working double shifts, a ward left understaffed, a patient waiting longer for care.
These aren’t statistics — they’re people.
NHS staff and patients deserve better. 💙

£18 - hourly rate for a resident doctor after the 29% rise
£24 - hourly rate for a physicians assistant
If you're ok with assistants earning more than actual doctors, congratulations, you've fallen for Streeting and Starmer's attack on the people who will keep you safe when you fall ill, doctors
