Perhaps Nigel Farage would like to explain to the families of British soldiers killed in Iraq why he’s such a good pal of Donald ‘bonespurs’ Trump?
Trump on NATO: "I've always said, will they be there if we ever needed them? That's really the ultimate test. I'm not sure of that. We've never needed them. They'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan and this or that. And they did. They stayed a little back, off the front lines."

I'm pleased to welcome Andrew Rosindell to Reform. With any luck most people will have forgotten he was a Tory MP, because he didn't come into Parliament for nearly two years while he was being investigated for sexual assault and rape.

The Employment Rights Bill has passed and will become law. As the voice of the working classes, I voted against this bill because I know the last thing people want is sick pay, paternity leave or protection from dismissal, harassment and exploitative zero hour contracts.

Great idea not to mention that the entire saving was made in the year ending March 2025, two months before Reform took over.

Musk talking about fighting falsehoods on his platform. One hour before he'd amplified a falsehood to millions of people. Nobody died in that incident, caused by a drunk driver. No community note, no correction.

Court convicts two donors for illegally diverting £100k to Eurosceptic think tank run by Nigel Farage's girlfriend. She definitely doesn't sound like the sort of person who would get involved with tax fraud on a house purchase.

Nigel Farage says this summer’s Raise the Colours movement was led by ‘ordinary people’ expressing their patriotism. Our reporters in five cities had a look and that’s not what we found.

www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t... Homeland Security chief accepted bribes from undercover cops and it’s just another day in the Trump kleptocracy. How can we do business with such a crooked country?
Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down.
The FBI and Justice officials closed the investigation, which a Justice Department appointee had called a “deep state” probe in early 2025.
