Nigel Farage is in the Epstein files.
People keep calling Reform a grassroots uprising like it bubbled up from the street on its own. It did not. It is the same old machine with a new paint job. Anger harvested then aimed and monetised.
Nigel Farage has openly aligned himself with Steve Bannonβs project for European right wing coordination. He was not shy about it. He publicly talked up Bannonβs efforts and the idea of a populist bloc in Europe.
Now the part people do not want to sit with.
Recent reporting based on DOJ released Epstein material describes exchanges between Steve Bannon and Jeffrey Epstein where Bannon talks about being pulled into the Brexit thing with Nigel Farage Boris Johnson and Jacob Rees Mogg and describes the country as a hot mess.
That matters because it cuts through the fantasy that this is just ordinary people having a moan. The messaging and the strategy and the international networking were being discussed at the level of political operatives and billionaire adjacent fixers. Bannon was not chatting to Epstein about Britain because he cared about British people. He was talking power and influence and movements and how to steer elections.
None of this claims Farage committed a crime. It does not need to. It shows proximity to a political ecosystem that treats elections like a playground for rich men. It shows the scaffolding behind the shouting. The flags are the theatre. The funding and the networks are the point.
So when Reform points at migrants and boats and trans people and whoever is convenient that week it is not because those are the root problems. It is because those are the easiest levers to pull while the same people keep getting richer and you keep getting poorer.
That is the truth people are refusing to face. Reform is not built for the British public. The British public are the raw material.
Genuine fans being treeted like dirt, at aways having to prove that they own the ticket.... yet a celebrity can get a ticket no issue... I would complain to the Director of fan engamement Rick McGagh... oh hang on who's that next to Littler????
This isnβt just a βbed reduction.β
Itβs fewer people able to say goodbye properly. Fewer families getting the support they desperately need.
@Ashgate gives us dignity at the hardest time of our lives.
Please rethink this, @NHSDDICB Our hearts are pleading. π

@GMB At night, I wear sunglasses on top of my head when driving, so when I come opposite a car with headlights as they are, I have to pull my glasses down.
They are dangerous and it blows my mind how they have been approved as safe!
