Farage can now be easily boxed in to a corner where his only ‘defence’ becomes: “Yes I spouted Kremlin propaganda & Putin worship but, unlike Nathan Gill, I didn’t need bribes to do it.”
It is, once again, a question of whether interviewers have the temerity to shut down his whining obfuscations.

Given the party's refusal to act on Pochin's brazen racism, it should be as socially unacceptable to vote for Reform as it was in the early 2000s to vote for the BNP.
And we should be prepared to say this to people's faces.

And yet, if anyone in the press calls this racist (which it patently is), they’ll face more outrage than the man who lamented a shortage of white faces.
So we’ll politely rebrand it as “unwise,” perhaps “ill-judged,” or “not in keeping with the spirit of inclusivity.”

Where has this ludicrous ECHR "debate" even come from.
I've never once met an ordinary member of the public who's said to me, "Do you know what? We REALLY need to leave the ECHR."
It's just a new right wing talking point because every other shit idea they've foisted on us has run out of steam.

During the pandemic 17 firms supplied £119m worth of PPE that was deemed unusable in the NHS. Since the start of 2024, they’ve made £83.6m. How is this even possible?

Here are the key updates:
🚨1,590 arrests, 1,015 charges
👮♂️17% of those arrested were children, 46% were 18-35 years old
