The Nigel Farage Guide to Being a Working-Class Hero
Step 1: Be born to a City stockbroker.
Step 2: Attend Dulwich College, fees currently £53,000 a year.
Step 3: Skip university. Become a City commodities trader instead.
Step 4: Run one of your metal broking firms into insolvency.
Step 5: Get elected to the European Parliament. Spend the next 21 years drawing a salary from the institution you're paid to dismantle.
Step 6: Claim £15,500 a year in expenses for an office your party was given rent-free.
Step 7: Put your wife on the EU parliamentary payroll. Take her off only when the rules force you to.
Step 8: Get investigated by the EU's anti-fraud office. Eventually have half your MEP salary docked to repay misused public funds.
Step 9: Throw a Brexit victory party at the Ritz. Decry the "professional political class" to a room of millionaires.
Step 10: Take £450,000 in personal gifts from Arron Banks. House. Car. Lifestyle.
Step 11: Take £5 million, undisclosed, from a Bangkok-based crypto billionaire. Days later, announce you're standing for parliament after all.
Step 12: Win Clacton. Take the £93,904 MP salary. Add £1.2 million a year from GB News at £2,300 an hour. Become the highest-earning MP in the House of Commons.
Step 13: Speak in parliament fewer times than any other party leader. Fly to America at least nine times in your first year. Refuse to hold in-person constituency surgeries. Holiday in France while parliament is sitting.
Step 14: Tell the working class you're one of them. Tell them to vote against their own interests, over and over again.
Pint, mate?
6 - Liverpool have now scored six 90th-minute winners against Everton in the Premier League - the most one side has against a single opponent in the competition's history. Bragging.
This article is utter tosh, whatever one's position on Trump, Pope Leo XIV, or the morality of the Iran war. Essentially every paragraph is nonsense. It reads like borderline satire at times. One example of the idiocy of the piece among others, I quote "... 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘗𝘰𝘱𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘢𝘭𝘴𝘰 𝘪𝘨𝘯𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘺 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘴𝘦 𝘣𝘰𝘮𝘣𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘧 𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘴", which is a truly insane thing to write, given that the first salvo of the war was literally a double-tap on a school that killed ~150 schoolgirls.
It's puzzling this embarrassing piece passed an editor at the Times.

@jayen077@ringmagazine I get what your saying but they were competitive fights with moments that the ref could have stepped in this was a beat down with nothing coming back.
