Farage earns more than any other MP for NOT being an MP. He says it’s “obviously sad” that part of his constituency is the most deprived area in England.
But everything he’s ever done, said and wanted has made sure of it.
This is the whole country if he gets into power.

WhyTF should we take Farage seriously? Just because he wants power? Even more reason for ruthless scrutiny.
