He says “up the RA” for £86

…imagine what he’d do for £5m.

OOFT…

Did he wake up on the wrong side of bed?

If you have a spare 3 mins and 45 secs today, watch this fantastic grilling by Sally Nugent on BBC Breakfast.

The very first time I've seen Farage questioned properly about his £5M bung, and it's fair to say, he totally fluffed it.

There are points when you can see Farage tremble and even accuse the BBC of putting him in danger. 🤦‍♂️

It was for security. It was for cars. Nobody cares. It's no one's business. He won't tell us. DANGER!

At one point, he let slip that the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards may 'disagree' with him on the rules around donations.

He knows he's going to be found guilty on this one. He's in trouble, and his face gave it away gloriously.

Top hats off to Sally Nugent. Stellar work. 👏

The UK is increasing the Pension age to 68.

Poland has lowered theirs to 60.

Their pension is higher as well.

[Channel 4 News @Channel4News]

Economist Mariana Mazzucato says Brexit led to businesses leaving the UK, shrank market opportunities and damaged investment.

She tells The Fourcast that Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson have still not been held accountable for what she calls one of the country's biggest economic mistakes.

Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson have both denied lying to the public.

Angela Rayner - £40k underpaid stamp duty - repaid. Lost jobs in Cabinet and Dep. PM.

Peter Murrell - £400k theft from SNP - going to prison

Huge coverage of both

Nigel Farage - £5m undeclared bung (possibly more) - goes to ground for a month.

Media coverage? You judge.

£715 MILLION to deport just 4 asylum seekers to Rwanda.

That’s £178 MILLION per person.
A catastrophic failure.

A monumental waste of taxpayers’ money.

Yet no public inquiry. No accountability. No consequences.

Why can’t we ban politicians responsible for this level of incompetence from ever holding public office again?

it’s financial vandalism.

Brexit explained by someone who isn’t a liar and was there and who knows:

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

Old housemates, old school friends, family members, - they even asked a local launderette for an itinerary of what I've had washed!

All this from billionaire owned media because they don't want a party to continue growing that challenges power & wealth.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Tony Blair thinks the answer to this country’s problems is AI, welfare cuts and endless spending on war.

Who benefits? Arms companies and tech billionaires.

Once again, Blair is wrong. The answer is a redistribution of wealth and power and the relentless search for peace.

[Parody Nigel Farage @Parody_PM]

Urgent message.

[Supertanskiii @supertanskiii]

Fucking FINALLY.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

This country might be about to have its 6th Prime Minister in 7 years.

Why? Because they’ve all failed to take on a rigged economic system that enriches the few at the expense of us all.

People want a society where children don’t go hungry. That is really not too much to ask.
