NEW: The Times has established that Nigel Farage and his partner own at least five homes spanning Surrey, Essex and Kent.

All but one were bought with cash since 2000. Farage described himself as "skint" in 2017.

A lot of people would have you believe that handing over parts of the NHS to private providers is our only option

But…

* Only the NHS takes care of patients at A&E
* Only the NHS trains our doctors and nurses
* Only the NHS looks after all patients

🚨 NEW: Nigel Farage was paid £270,000 on 29 May to promote a London gold dealer

BREAKING: Craig Williams, who was parliamentary private secretary to Rishi Sunak, has pleaded guilty at Southwark Crown Court to cheating at gambling with bets on the date of the 2024 general election.

Why did Boris Johnson accept a £1m gift from the same billionaire who gave Farage £5m?

What did Nigel Farage AND Boris Johnson do for the biggest lump sums of cash ever given to British politicians?

So glad to see this trending. #HarborneReceipts

They really don't seem to be able to get anything right.
No solar on car parks (or most rooftops) but it's fine to trash 1000km of countryside and habitat for pylons to transmit power for miles instead of encouraging generation near demand.

Does anyone know why life saving air ambulances have to rely on funding from charities

But helicopters for the Royal Family are paid for by the tax payer?

[Parody Nigel Farage @Parody_PM]

I proudly boasted about having claimed "zero personal expenses". Which is not surprising when you consider that there is no such thing as 'personal expenses' for MPs, so nobody has claimed any. But I have claimed over £150k in office expenses.

This is Carl-Nikolas. He's 25 years old.

I want to make him famous.

That's why I've just commissioned his biggest painting yet: a life-sized portrait of St. Catherine of Siena.

Over the coming weeks, I'm going to share the entire "making of" process with you, from sketches to studies and the inner workings of patronage itself. There are several reasons why I want to do this:

1) To shed light on the fact that there are still people making great art.

Amidst the copypasta lamentations of “we don’t know how to do it anymore”, it is more important than ever to highlight those doing the real work and stewarding the flame of the Great Tradition.

2) To explore the life and spirituality of Saint Catherine of Siena.

She is one of the greatest women to have ever lived, but is regularly misunderstood even by practicing Catholics.

However, she's one of the best examples you can look to to navigate the chaos of the modern world. This project will help illustrate why.

3) To highlight the importance and role of patronage in the modern day.

Contrary to popular belief, patronage doesn’t mean giving handouts to starving and ungrateful artists. You can still use it to build relationships and exert power.

It's also never been easier to do. If you want to learn how to become a Medici-like patron in your own right, follow me for more.

4) To pour gasoline on the career of Carl-Nikolas and win him the attention he deserves.

Remember, this kid is 25 years old. He wants to open an academy of sacred art in Rome one day, and I want to make that dream a reality. If you are in a position to support his work, even if just by making an introduction, DM me.

The responsibility of passing down the Great Tradition doesn’t fall to others. It falls to each of us.

As for me, I'm doing my bit. You can do yours by sharing this post and helping get the word out about Carl-Nikolas.

To see more of his work, check out the replies to this post.

Lastly, if you are a talented, up-and-coming artist, fill out the form in the link in my bio. I’m building a network of patrons to whom I promote hidden gems. “Great but undiscovered” is exactly what I’m looking for.

The New Renaissance is upon us. The only question is, what role will you play in it?

“Louise Beardmore pocketed £2.5million, up 79 per cent on the previous year, and including a bonus of £830,000.”

Worth every penny I’m sure.

Step 1: Remove filters in Reflecting Pool because Obama put them in.
Step 2: Give your criminal neighbor who runs "Greenwater Services" a $20 million no-bid contract to paint the pool.
Step 3: Fill the pool with water from the Potomac River, the phosphates from which cause algae blooms.
Step 4: Freshly sealed pool and extreme heat result in a super scum event
Step 5: Direct National Park Service to dump hydrogen peroxide into the pool which causes the paint to peel.
Step 5: Deploy US National Guard to stop people from taking photos of the swamp as a perfect metaphor for the administration.
Step 6: Blame someone else.

EXCL: Nigel Farage has been trying to block Bank of England cryptocurrency plan that could be costly for billionaire bankrolling his party.

Reform UK leader has said Christopher Harborne wants nothing in exchange for millions donated to party and undeclared £5m personal gift to Farage revealed by Guardian.

But Farage used private meeting at Bank to urge governor to drop plans for state-run alternative to digital currency that has made his Thailand-based benefactor one of richest people in world.
