A reminder of how Farage campaigned, and won, in Clacton in 2024. Absolutely sickening.

An undercover investigation by Channel 4 News exposed a campaign riddled with extreme racism, homophobia, and even allegations of election spending irregularities.

One Reform UK canvasser was secretly recorded suggesting that army recruits should use migrants arriving on Britain’s beaches for target practice. He also told a paramedic to deny oxygen to migrants in need of medical treatment, described Islam as a “disgusting cult,” and directed racist slurs at then Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.

The toxic rhetoric wasn’t limited to one volunteer. Farage’s events manager and other senior campaign figures were also caught making openly homophobic remarks about a police car displaying a Pride flag, mocking officers and saying they should “dance around like fairies” instead of doing their jobs.

The undercover footage also captured a senior campaigner casually claiming the local campaign had already spent roughly twice the legal election spending limit, a potential criminal offence. Reform UK later dismissed the comments as isolated incidents or jokes, but the footage raised serious questions about the culture within Farage’s Clacton campaign.

@jfkcaaz @jay4houghts @greendragonhq One verbal flub? Have you been living in a cave? He referred to Kelly Loeffler as Nicki Minaj TWICE about two fucking days ago. Normally he doesn't even make it two days. I can smell the copium from here.

@JamilKivum23175 @greendragonhq Please tell me this is a joke. I really hope you are not that stupid.

Trump's DOJ had a court order to release the remaining Epstein files and simply refused. That should be a much bigger story right now.

Keir Starmer slams Lee Anderson at #PMQs

"Nigel Farage received £5 million from a crypto billionaire and then privately lobbied the Bank of England on digital currencies"

"So did their leader carry out paid lobbying?"

"Why did he keep his £5 million gift secret"

"And are they happy with their leader earning £20,000 an hour flogging gold"

(Full question and answer at the end)

[Parody Nigel Farage @Parody_PM]

I'm confident nobody will share this.

The more I dig, the more I realise that Nigel Farage is literally done for. It's over for him. The £5 million bung is big enough to take the entire Reform movement down and possibly land Nigel in jail.

1) The fact the donation was made BEFORE Nigel was MP is absolutely irrelevant. Parliamentary Code of Conduct requires all receipts for the full 12 months before election. Nigel receiving his bung just a few days before he announced his candidacy makes it so much worse, not better.

2) "Category 5: Gifts and benefits from sources outside the UK - THRESHOLD FOR REGISTRATION Section 39. Members must register, subject to the paragraphs below, any gifts or benefits with a value of over £300 which they receive from a source outside the UK."

Nigel argues this was 'purely personal' but the Code refers to partners or families when it comes to personal gifts... this takes us to the next issue...

3) Christopher Harborne has a long track record of making SUBSTANTIAL political contributions to Nigel's parties, first to The Brexit Party, and later to Reform. He is a POLITICAL DONOR - any "gift" he made to Farage CANNOT be argued as personal or without political context due to this track record.

4) Using his platform as an MP, Nigel went on to promote 2 companies in which Christopher Harborne holds $ billions in stock - Nigel NEVER publicly endorsed or mentioned these companies prior to the "gift". Nigel also began actively pushing for policy that would directly interest Christopher Harborne and his business affairs. These were not interests that any could argue could possibly be of interest to his constituents - deregulation of crypto, and lowering of taxes on crypto gains. Nigel spent a substantial amount of time and effort pushing these policies.

It is beyond a doubt that this is the biggest breach of Parliamentary Code of Conduct rules in relation to donations in parliamentary history.

But even more concerning for Nigel will be that if it can be proven he was secretly incentivised to use his public office to push for policies to support a wealthy donor, then he should very likely face a criminal probe for corruption and bribery. I suspect Harborne might also be exposed to this. The United Kingdom and Thailand have a bilateral extradition treaty. Maximum prison sentences of up to 10 years for the offence.

This is not going to go away.

@holloway_1952 @krassenstein Look at your profile pic. You are the joke.

Scientists in Atlanta were stopped from criticizing the Trump admin at a scientific conference, so let me do it here:

Trump is destroying biomedical research in America, and it will take decades to get back on track. 

Spread the word. Stand up for science.

[The Bulwark @BulwarkOnline]

Q: "Can you say whether you will hold anyone in your administration accountable for the strike on a school that killed more than 100 children on the first day of the war?"

Trump: "No…It's such a strange question to be asked at this date. You're talking about a long time ago."'

ICE vehicles hit their car while their children were inside. Then agents dragged the parents out during drop-off and a preschool graduation, in front of crying kids. All on school property.

https://t.co/du9bv2U4pY confirms that schools are supposed to be safe places for children, not federal ambush zones.

That’s not public safety. That’s state-sponsored trauma.

Lady with red glasses, "Nigel Farage took a £5m payment from a crypto billionaire"

"Suddenly, Reform UK are a party for crypto currency"

"How are we to trust that you and your party wouldn't sell this off to the highest bidder"

"When you have a leader who runs your party who say up the IRA for £80"

Fiona Bruce, "I have no idea Nigel Farage said up the IRA for £80"

@newzforthought @GoodTroubleShow @MvonRen Jesus Christ you morons are so hurt by anyone that can pose an alternative to your immediate beliefs. Your latest file dump is trash, yet again. Demand a higher level of evidence before you believe in something, or shut the fuck up.

@GoodTroubleShow The fuck are you talking about? I see Mick on here all the time.

I’ve been banned from the UK. I tried to get on a flight to London to attend SXSW London and give a speech at Oxford. I’ve been banned for criticizing Israel. Are we free anymore? This is oppression of Western citizens by our own governments on behalf of a different country!
