This couldn’t be clearer. Bannon’s texts to Epstein in mid July 2018 - “overthrowing May right now” and in “London with Boris” as well as his appearance on LBC with Nigel Farage are prettying damning evidence of a cross party plot with foreign backing

Indeed!
Despite problems in Labour I don't know how anyone could consider voting Reform.
In 1 week Farage's company:
broke electoral law;
had Reform UK mentioned in the Epstein files;
had people exposed as fronts for foreign donors money laundering;
misled about £40m council savings they didn’t make -
Vote Reform and get American paedos and foreign oligarchs crashing your life.

Reform says Britain is broken, and they offer radical change to put it right. But who broke it? We name the guilty parties.

So this is in no way them having "the right to defend their country" which is what the apologists regularly throw out
When did it become OK
for a British PM & Cabinet
to continue selling arms
to a regime which
targets the killing of children
and which is thus by definition
a terrorist state ...

So why doesn't our media, who love Farage so much, not question him on plans for the NHS? Do his supporters really look to the US insurance system as one to emulate?
Nigel Farage wants to get rid of the NHS and replace it with US style insurance.
Can you afford $50,000 for a broken leg, $500,000 for a new heart, or $2,000,000 for cancer.
Or are you dying?
