Reform's opponents need to keep punching this bruise.

It's a real problem for a would-be nationalist leader when they start looking like the lapdog of a hostile power.

This did a lot of damage to Oswald Mosley in the 1930s, and it could become a serious issue for Farage.
It’s a real shame that Nigel Farage is too unwell to do interviews the morning after Donald Trump threatens us with sanctions.

Here he is with “the bravest man he ever met”. He campaigned to make Trump President, and has spent the last year enjoying all the chaos he has caused.

Farage isn't even Trump’s poodle.

He's his novelty toilet brush.

For this post to be about the United States and not Russia shows that there has been an absolute diplomatic revolution.
I spoke to the Secretary-General of NATO, Emmanuel Macron, Keir Starmer, Friedrich Merz and Giorgia Meloni.

Together we stand firm in our commitment to uphold the sovereignty of Greenland and the Kingdom of Denmark.

If there's an upside to this chaos it's that. These people should never be taken seriously again and their dwindling band of followers just look even more absurd than ever.

We found three cars full of masked ICE agents in a residential car park. Our guide asked them if they had a warrant, they refused to answer. I asked them several questions about what they were doing. They then made obscene gestures at us. Shortly afterwards, a drone appeared circling our car.

Honestly, mostly relieved it’s only 30%.
Yes, 30% of Republicans would approve illegally attacking a peaceful NATO ally to annex territory.

This makes no sense…

An MP can wake up one morning, ditch the party you elected them for, & sign up to a completely different manifesto…

No thanks

If they defect to a different party, we should get a vote

“We need to get the temperature down,” said a second EU diplomat... sorry folks, but diplomacy is still mostly not played according to social media rules. www.ft.com/content/b287...

There's a good explanation for this. It turned out they didn't have enough lawyers to cover up the president's countless sex crimes so they had to bring in hundreds of additional ones and well that takes time
We are now 30 days beyond the statutory deadline for the full release of the Epstein files

truly, hate to say i told you so on the whole standing up to Trump thing.........!
NEW: Keir Starmer has had a phone call with President Trump.

No10 releasing very little detail, save to say, “The Prime Minister reiterated his position on Greenland.”

“He also said that applying tariffs on allies for pursuing the collective security of NATO allies is wrong.”

Other countries are sending their foreign war correspondents to cover ICE’s occupation of Minneapolis.

The Department of Defence has put the US Army on alert for possible deployment to the city.

This was never about immigration.

They’re turning it into a war zone.

Italian PM Giorgia Meloni PM has called threatened US tariffs over Greenland a 'mistake', adding that she has spoken with US President Trump on the telephone.

Apparently Farage is ‘under the weather’ today so cancelled an appearance on #BBCLauraK

He must be very unwell to cancel a TV appearance.
Or, it’s BS. I’m going with BS, just like this was BS.

Richard Tice agreed to replace me on the Laura Kuenssberg show after I had a sudden attack of not wanting to be questioned about my support for the orange turd who is treating NATO allies worse than he treats Russia.

New polling suggests that if another Brexit referendum were to take place, a majority of voters would opt for rejoining the European Union. According to a Deltapoll survey for the Mirror, nearly 6 in 10 people, or 58 percent, would vote to return to the bloc.
