The main things I learnt working with @Nigel_Farage
1. His word is not his bond.
2. He does not write emails - no paper trail.
3. He has zero ability to do any detail: 1-hour meetings turn into 56 minutes of Nigel talking about Nigel and 4 mins on the subject the meeting was about.
4. Nigel has no real friends - everyone and everything is expendable.
5. Nigel has enormous energy, but a lot of it is wasted because he drinks and parties too much.
6. Nigel is not an intellectual - he thinks Jordan Peterton is boring.
7. Nigel has spies.
8. Nigel loves money and spends it like water.
9. Nigel surrounds himself with rather facile young men like the convicted posh George.
10. Nigel does not really like working if it is not him being a showman - I cannot even imagine him reading a policy paper.
11. Nigel dictates tweets to Dan Dukes.
12. Nigel has a powerful lawyer behind the scenes who keeps files on people.
13. Nigel is vicious - the plastic sheen is a facade that cons so many people.
14. No idea if Nigel actually has any morality or values or what he believes in except fame and money.

Hahahahah! Just seen this on FB:
----
Have you found yourself in the hideous position of having a Reform councillor?
Here’s how you can help your brand new councillor settle into local government properly: email them this week with an actual council problem to solve.
Got rubbish piling up? Email them.
Bus vanished from existence? Email them.
Streetlights dead? Email them.
Care package delayed? Email them.
Pavement like the Somme? Email them.
Send them in by the hundred. Make sure they’re made very clear on what their job is.
Being a councillor is not standing in front of the Union flag shouting about dinghies on GB News. It’s reading committee papers at midnight, attending meetings nobody enjoys, holding surgeries in church halls, and dealing with the endlessly glamorous world of drains, social care budgets and recycling disputes.
Welcome to local government.
The boats are in Kent. The bins are in your ward.
The email address for your ward councillor can be found on your local council website as soon as it’s updated.
Feel free to copy and paste to share wider.

There is growing concern about the BBC’s political coverage and the way recent events have been reported.

Too often, reporting appears to rely on assumption, interpretation and anonymous briefing, presenting a picture that does not reflect the mood within the Labour Party or among voters. Commentary risks being treated as fact, and Westminster speculation has too often been given greater weight than the views of the wider membership and the electorate.

The Parliamentary Labour Party is not the Labour Party. MPs were elected under the Labour banner, on the party’s manifesto and under the leadership of Keir Starmer. The democratic mandate rests with the members and the voters, not simply with internal briefings and political gossip.

Over the weekend, the public pushed back strongly against the narrative being constructed. People challenged the claims, questioned the evidence and made it clear that they expect facts, attribution and balance, not speculation presented as reality.

The Cardiff University analysis, highlighting the disproportionate level of coverage given to Reform compared with its electoral weight, has added to concerns about balance and proportionality.

The BBC is funded by licence fee payers and carries a duty of strict impartiality. If reporting continues to rely on narrative framing rather than verifiable fact, public trust will continue to erode.

If you share these concerns, the appropriate response is to use the BBC’s formal complaints process and ask for transparency and review.

Make a complaint here:

Or write to:
Director General

Public trust sustains the BBC. If enough people believe standards are slipping, their concerns should be formally heard.

What is the point of the ending of Night Manager?
That evil triumphs in the real world, so we’ll do the same in our fantasy world?
That another series for Hugh Laurie is on the way?
Thanks for nothing, BBC!

A genuine account exposes the real Farage
- see second tweet for corroboration

Fascinatingly has echoes of what others have stated over time and the evidence from the way he has 'lost' many others he worked with.

Of the 899 arrested following the 2024 riots, 41 per cent had previously been reported to police for domestic abuse. In certain areas, the figure was 68 per cent. This reminds us that the greatest threat to women is not strangers arriving on dinghies, but men closer to home.
