Imagine he was a Labour MP? a northern female Labour MP?
We still haven't seen ANYTHING that clarifies how Farage's partner could find £885,000 to pay CASH for his home in Frinton
Until such time we have complete transparency in this matter, I, for one, have drawn my own conclusions

BUT, what is the CPS going to do next?

Competitively priced for loo roll, but not soft or absorbent enough.

Wise prophet or foolish coward – the goose has been both. Revered at Michaelmas, mocked by Shakespeare, feared on the battlefield and loved for feathers, fat and flight – here's how this bird shaped medieval life. ⤵️

Folklore heralds the goose as guardian, soothsayer and companion of the gods

Five gold rings? Try thirty-five. The Snettisham hoard, strongly linked to the Iceni tribe, rewrites the scale of ancient wealth in East Anglia, and puts later treasures in the shade.

Is anyone telling his potential voters this? Large numbers in the population have very little money, long term conditions, etc etc. Wtf.
Reform UK Review 2025

In May 2025 Nigel Farage said: “I do not want the NHS funded through general taxation.”

In January, he was asked about an insurance-based model for the NHS earlier this year, comparable to the one used in the States.

He said he is “open to anything”.

God honestly. Doesn’t this just sum up Reform. And their plastic patriotism.
Can’t even give a straight answer or follow the rules on their unbelievably naff merch.
So on brand.
Oh well. You sell or wear one of these, you’ve told us all we need to know about you.

Thornhaugh Church, Peterborough, when I was giving a talk last month. By day a quiet little country church. But lit at night is glorious. Contains a Russell (ancestor of the Dukes of Bedford) tomb in the south transept (the sticky-out bit this side in the night time shot). Daytime shot older.

In the forest dark and deep, in the hush between awake and sleep, fairies dance within the dell, a place the old elves know so well. Something stirs among the trees, drifting forward like a breeze. The forest smiles in ancient tongue—love flows, and happiness is sung.

Rejoice in the natural places
