Farage pays for nothing himself. He rakes it in from media, crypto, gold bullion, X… Clacton isn’t worth his time.
He’s a rep for the US christofascist far right and is being paid to bring that shit over here.

Trump's tariff threat to the UK and NATO allies marks a dangerous departure as he pursues the illegal annexation of Greenland. He hasn't attacked a NATO ally militarily - yet - but he has done economically. The UK must stand with our allies and face down his bullying tactics.
