Imagine the homes we could build, the nurses we could hire, the energy we could generate with the money Brexit set on fire. Instead we argue about Farage’s latest insult while the country pays for his revolution. The bill arrives in every Budget. #faragetaxes.

Chris Mason trying to claim Starmer is putting party before country! I would say that a government that listens to its elected MP's, and by definition their electorate, is the essence of democracy. #bbcnews and Mason are desparate to put a negative spin on the government and the Labour party.

Hopefully some media outlets may take up @eddavey.libdems.org.uk 's suggestions to probe Mr Farage a bit more on this.
Is Farage saying he chose to support the wishes of a hostile foreign govt for free? 😲
