Nigel Farage pocketed a £5 million Brexit reward.

When he promised we would be better off, he clearly only meant himself.

10 years on, it's time to end the chaos and fix our broken relationship with Europe, starting by joining the single market.

[Narinder Kaur @narindertweets]

Farage says it's nobody's business why he was given £5m quid

If he hopes to be PM one day, then it bloody well is our business

He's scared..he knows he's been exposed and his days are numbered

I think it's fair to say that Nigel Farage's return to the media round yesterday morning was an unmitigated catastrophe.

When he began his defence to Sally Nugent on the BBC, he repeated his mantra “no one cares” to her three times.

He could not have been further from the truth. With the exception of Ed Balls on ITV, the UK's interviewers finally found their backbones and took him to task over the five million pound bung/gift/donation.

Immediately taking the über-defensive stance, he made so many different claims, that even Julia Hartley-Brewer and Nick Ferrari got in on the anti-Farage action.

I assume there is a Grimm fairy tale that highlights the plight of a little boy that changes his story so many times that he can't remember his own truth.

Probably in that tale, he'll be eaten by a witch living in a giant flying bowl of some sort — and no, this is not an allegorical allusion to Hartley-Brewer, before you @ me!

Farage is that little boy. Talking to Sally Nugent, he told her that the money was an unconditional gift and it was none of her business what he spent it on, before saying he'd not spent it.

Going on, he told us that he needed it for a lifetime of security while on Nick Ferrari's show, he got so muddled up that he said it was definitely not used for a house purchase but ... maybe, and even if it were, he'd not tell anyone.

Oh, and he said he might have put it on the horses or bought some Ferraris.

The root of his story began when he told the world that it was an unconditional gift, but within days the official line had changed to a donation to cover a 'lifetime of security'. Only for it to morph again the following week into a gift for his work achieving Brexit.

Yesterday he trotted out all of these lines and more so you can see where the conspiracy stems from and why it won't be dropped any time soon.

And I'm sorry Nigel, we do care, absolutely everyone cares.

If you missed the relevant interview, here's the 3:45 when Sally Nugent instigated the end of Nigel Farage's career.

Bravo.

Having a hydration break in the pouring rain just minutes after a long stoppage where all the players took on fluids anyway.

What a fucking farce FIFA have created.

[Baroness Patricia of Plague Island @Patrici89225734]

Stand up Sally Nugent for a round of applause, the only journalist as far as I can see who has held Farage to account!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[Mikey Smith @mikeysmith]

If you'd consumed any news about the Makerfield by-election, you'd have been given the impression it was close.

It was not.

If you add Reform, Restore and Tory votes together, Labour still beat them by 5,000 votes.

Labour: 24,937
Reform UK: 15,696
Restore: 3,111
Conservative: 997
Green: 308
Lib Dem: 163

[Trades Union Congress @The_TUC]

You voted against scrapping zero hour contracts.

You voted against banning fire and rehire.

You voted against day one sick pay for workers.

You said the minimum wage was too high for young people.

Reform politicians openly say they don't like trade unions.

You will always put the interests of your offshore crypto billionaire donors ahead of workers.

[Robbie @Robbie_Reasons]

The Somerset Farmhouse of 1 North Street, Williton were approached by a "food influencer" that wanted to charge them £2,000 for a review.

They put out a video of Sally eating a sausage roll instead 😆.

Lets make Sally and the Somerset Farmhouse famous for free.

Whoever this is, we’d appreciate your help on the 19th of June as we’ll have about 650 stakes to take down, but could you give it a rest for now 👍

[Fraser Nelson @FraserNelson]

It's not just the exploitation of a tragedy.

JD Vance's picture of Britain - where migrants have led to a crime surge - is the opposite of the truth.

Robert Jenrick: “We have procured more hotels very rapidly… What I have done in my short tenure is ramp that up and procure even more.”

Nigel Farage: “This man is a fraud. This man isn’t to be trusted.”

Now both are in #ReformUK telling you immigration is through the roof.

You’re the dummy if you believe a single word from either of them. Same circus, different clowns.

[The Labour Party @UKLabour]

This is exactly who Nigel Farage is.

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

Henry Nowak’s family have lost their son and brother in the most appalling circumstances.

Nigel Farage is exploiting this tragedy to create grievance and division.

It’s completely unforgivable.

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

Should Nigel Farage be arrested for inciting riots?

Like - Yes

[Andrew Western MP @AndrewHWestern]

Not a parliamentarian.

Not a member of the Shadow Cabinet.

And certainly not the Shadow Home Secretary.

Also missed “Ltd” off the end of Reform UK.

This is just not true, @ZiaYusufUK

[Harry Eccles @Heccles94]

Mate, this is embarrassing.

You are literally not the shadow Home Secretary.

You’re not even an elected politician.

[🇬🇧King 🇬🇧 @King0243_PJC]

🔥 Marina Purkiss is on absolute fire on Jeremy Vine!

“He is sexist, he is sick. Don’t you dare suggest that working-class people hold beliefs like Robert Kenyon!”

She demands Reform’s @_GeorgeFinch condemns their Makerfield candidate.

This is the moment!
Who’s here for Marina? RT if she ate this up 👏 Cc: @JeremyVineOn5

[Billymawa @Billymawa]

I live in Ince. This utter weapon is spewing nothing but hate and lies. It’s NOT a mosque, it’s a community centre that includes a small prayer room, amongst other things (such as a foodbank). Take your disgusting racism @RobKenyonReform and fuck off out of my constituency.

[Don McGowan @donmcgowan]

That educated people won't vote for the far-right?

Not quite the slam dunk you were hoping for, Dan.
