Over the last 36 hours, we have witnessed the very soul of Nigel Farage — his essence.
It has been over a month since he went into hiding, since serious questions began to be raised over his undeclared £5M donation.
A month since he appeared in front of TV cameras or underwent any questioning at all.
At 8am yesterday morning, Farage released a video, from a field somewhere, calling for rage. Calling for an end to the mythical two-tier policing.
Make no mistake, those were very carefully chosen words — he understood what he was unleashing, and his wish was granted last night in Southampton.
On Tuesday, the Home Secretary made a statement to the House regarding the murder of Henry Nowack. There was, as always, an opportunity to question Shabana Mahmood — was Nigel Farage in attendance?
No, of course not.
Today, Farage was granted a question at PMQs — the showpiece spectacle of the political week in which the country's news and politics fanatics tune in to watch — was Nigel Farage in attendance?
Yes, of course he was.
He had somehow found his way into work after missing 77 separate votes in Parliament because … he would, at least for three minutes, be the centre of the country's political attention.
His question was about the murder of Henry Nowack and the violence that erupted [on his command] last night, but he would not condemn it or call for calm.
Instead, he 'suggested' that this rioting might escalate.
This afternoon, he has performatively written to the BBC because someone on Newsnight dared to accuse him of inciting the violence — playing his perpetual victim card. Again.
And there we see the soul of Nigel Farage — a craven, desperate for attention, evil, petty and pointless man.
END RANT.
Angela Rayner was dragged through every front page for weeks...
HMRC's verdict: NOT deliberate. NOT even careless.
Farage pockets £5 million and chooses not to declare it
So where's the wall-to-wall coverage?
Tell me this isn't a rigged game.
Very much enjoyed watching our disgraced former Home Sec being awarded Dick Of The Year. Good work @archiemanners & @joshua_pieters and the @TheLastLeg team 🫶
“Oxford Street disorder: Braverman wants culprits hunted down”. My take: Invest in public swimming pools, well run youth clubs, community centres, mental health programmes, summer activities. Care for youth. Cost of inaction greater than cost of action. https://t.co/RGlJtampSz
@Carpervert and @sniffpetrol listening to your podcast talk of spotting AT’s at the auctions last weekend reminded my of this blog I’d not looked at in a very long time. Enjoy - https://t.co/zMD9H3ZNzi
The Health Secretary knows just how strong NHS nurses are together so he’s threatening them with legal action to prevent them fighting against real terms pay cuts.
Please RT if this has only strengthened your support for nurses.
Hospitality finally seem to be waking up to what happens tomorrow.
The cliff edge is today and the government are loss in action.
The closures will start in earnest now, we must look to putting the pieces back together in the aftermath.

Hey Jonny @Carpervert just seen your Abarth 500e video. Gosh that’s a wicked looking bit of kit. The front end styling is mega, LOVE the side decals. I’d would love one of the launch editions but that sound synth… yikes 😬 thank goodness it can be turned off.
