It's Farage at his absolute weakest - thin-skinned, easy to offend, and nurturing a persecution complex.

He’s a vile man, no intellectual ability, just attacks anyone who disagrees with him.

A Trumpian drip.

This is a video taken from Reformed News, a page on Facebook that features some pretty vile content.

Nigel Farage must condemn these men organising in his name to smash up shelters in France. Disgusting.

Finally someone says it.
Daisy Cooper, "In 2017 there was not a single asylum seeker that arrived on a boat"

"Today we have 46,000 a year"

"And do you know why?"

"Brexit"

"Pushed through by Boris Johnson and championed by Nigel Farage"

In 2014 Farage defended a comedian who appeared at UKIP conference and made a string of offensive "jokes" about Polish, Somalia, Muslims and Asian people.

The BBC by contrast banned the Black and White minstrel show in 1978

I didn't exactly have high hopes for the next iteration of Nigel Farage's defence against allegations of racism, but even I expected better than 'I can't be a racist because Bernard Manning was on telly in the seventies'

I just watched a 1970 BBC Man Alive documentary, The Office Christmas Party. It's amazing to see how office parties were done back then. Nothing too glitzy but very festive. 🎄 www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxAz...

It might look like a tree full of bright green leaves, but zoom in! This tree is actually absolutely packed with Ring-necked Parakeets getting ready to roost for the night. You can really see why these incredible birds are so successful in our parks and cities.

STOP WASTING LAND! 🛑 We don't need to pave over nature with endless solar farms.

First, let's put solar on EVERY available roof and parking lot—library, school, supermarket, office, warehouse, and home. EMPOWER THE PEOPLE to generate their own clean energy.

All the pearl-clutching about Zohran Mamdani--by right-wingers who elected a half-senile old TV star president--is very amusing. For once the shoe is on the other foot.

Not a peep from the Putin Puppet Farage today over his MP’s divisive and racist rhetoric. Not fit to govern.

The people of Caerffili saw that Reform UK don’t care about Wales – they're using us as a stepping stone for Farage to get himself into No.10.

Plaid Cymru's team of strong, local champions will always show up for our communities, not just when it suits them for personal gain.
