Many thanks to Zia Yusuf for helping us redefine 'Shadow Minister' to mean someone who isn't in the official party of Opposition, isn't even elected and whose only role is being a toxic gobshite.

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.

Political donations = corruption.
Super-rich buy influence and power.
Parties reward them - organize threatening issues off the agenda, provide tax perks to the rich, crony contracts, VIP lanes, honours.
Can't have democracy without banning political donations.
