Why didn't Farage just answer the question about Reform's education policy?
Why did he seek to mock and ridicule the journalist asking a perfectly legitimate question and try to deligitimise the FT?
Easy. That's who he is. An arrogant man who doesn't have any policies beyond pointing at the sea.

Tax accounts for 75% of the price of an average bottle of Scotch Whisky.
The increase in 2023, made 'Duty' for Scotch Whisky £31.64, per litre of pure Alcohol.
It's a blatant, exploitative, 203 year-old, scam.
These £billions always go directly to Westminster.
