@AllisonPearson You are deliberately trying to incite something dark. A self-styled journalist would know how the legal system works. Shameful but sadly par for the course from you
Asked about Posh George, the imprisoned fraudster, Farage points at Louise Haigh and claims that “Burnham is about to put a convicted fraudster into the cabinet.” Moments later, he says that George’s conviction is spent, invoking Christian forgiveness, second chances, loyalty to friends, and even gesturing vaguely at the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act.
His hypocrisy is off the scale. Haigh received a conditional discharge for an offence before she was a politician, no prison sentence, and her minor conviction is long spent. Farage’s attempt to equate the two isn’t just misleading it’s wilfully absurd.
@ZiaYusufUK Police statment, "We remind all concerned that proceedings against the defendant are active and he has a right to a fair trial. It is vital there should be no reporting, commentary or sharing of information which could prejudice these proceedings."
Shadow Home Secretary? Joke.
@ZiaYusufUK Yes because we don't want to prejudice the criminal conviction process, we want justice not point scoring.
The best thing you can do is honour Ann's memory now and leave the system to do it's job.
What you're doing now is not that remotely
@ZiaYusufUK Why do we know so little about Farage's bribes, bungs and finances.
A bigger question.
Cos you lot love fucking hiding the facts.
Sit down you unelected nobody.
@EssexPR No.
It's because Reform know it won't happen.
They're just trying to de-legitimise the government in an attempt to -
a) take the shine off any new govt policies that might appeal to Reform voters.
b) continue to deflect from Farage's Dodgy Donations.
As always - it's a scam.
@pritipatel That’s a bit of a stretch. Anyway, be careful what you say about MPs with criminal records, that might be a bit awkward when you defect to Reform.
