Welcome to MournHub!
Just when you thought he couldn’t stoop any lower, Farage made himself the victim in a woman’s murder by becoming a hardcore mourn star.
What happens when a man who monetises outrage casts himself as the victim? I’ll tell you 👇🏻

So another cracking Cottrell story by @venetiamenzies & the Insight team. Bravo.
I’m also fascinated by the stake-out pix. ST is throwing PROPER money at this. Looks like photographers stationed at known Cottrell locations.
What do the Murdochologists make of this? @davidyelland? @davidfolkenflik? @arusbridger?
Remember how I said if scheme looks like money laundering & smells like money laundering, Brexit Party’s should prove it’s *not* money laundering? That was before I knew an *actual* money launderer involved. Meet George Cottrell. Convicted felon. And acting Brexit Party treasurer
I make no secret of the fact that I found Anne Widdecombe’s views abhorrent, nor will I deny that I believe Reform UK incites division and hostility. But did she deserve to have every woman’s worst nightmare happen to her? No. She did not.
The key takeaway is this: you don’t stop male violence by encouraging more hatred and division. Once you normalise that, society itself begins to unravel. There was already an epidemic of male violence long before politicians started fanning the flames for political gain.
The leaders of Reform and Restore create unease and unrest because they profit from it. They point fingers. They deflect. They exploit despair and anger. Time and again, they have manipulated some of the poorest and most disadvantaged people in Britain. In doing so, they have contributed to an environment in which women, gay people, trans people and people of colour face greater hostility and, potentially, greater risk of violence.
Does that mean I think Anne Widdecombe was to blame for what happened to her? Again, no. No woman deserves to be brutally murdered by a man. It is one of the oldest, deepest fears carried by women, and tragically, it is not an irrational one.
I’ve received unspeakable threats despite not being a politician, simply for talking about politics. The police do nothing. The police are yet another institution women are forced to fear. Women are not safe anywhere, not even in our own home. I’ve lived alone. I know how vulnerable you can feel, simply because you’ve dared to have a voice as a woman. I’ve lain awake in bed wondering whether the noise downstairs was a man, radicalised by social media, fuelled by misogyny, entitlement and rage, finally acting on one of those threats. Anne would have likely done that countless times.
The price women pay simply for existing is fear, the price they pay for having a voice or agency is even higher.
While I found many of Anne’s views, particularly those regarding other women, abhorrent, that does not mean she asked for this. Men who inflict horrific violence on women rarely need an excuse. The fact that they can is often reason enough. Male violence is not limited to one culture, a political viewpoint, a particular religion or one race. It is endemic. No woman should have to die to prove this point but many more will unless action is taken.
Do I think Reform and Restore should be defenestrated? Absolutely. But at the ballot box. Because we’re not fucking animals. And because the working class should have more respect for itself than to let a handful of old Etonian pricks decide who we are.
The best revenge is to recognise who your real enemies are, then quietly leave them to their riches, their private jets and their mansions. The more irrelevant they become and the less divided we are, the less power they hold and the less money they make.
Two things are true:
No woman deserves what Anne Widdecombe endured.
The likelihood of women enduring male violence has markedly increased because of the hateful, violent and divisive rhetoric of figures like Farage or Lowe.
Reject them. They’re not on your side.
This is HILARIOUS from some kids in Clacton
Describing Nigel Farage
"He's got millions and millions .he's done nothing...he's just a w**ker"
And a "racist" to boot.
God love the honesty of kids!
We can’t survive without bees.
We can’t survive without forests.
We can’t survive without healthy oceans.
We can’t survive without clean rivers.
We can’t survive without fertile soil.
And somehow…
we still act as if humans exist separately from nature.
Very sad to hear about the arrest of Andrew Tate. He has been charged with rape, human trafficking, controlling prostitution and actual bodily harm. I once described him as "an important voice for young men", which tells you all you need to know about my moral compass.
How long have the Times been sitting on this. Since Keir Starmer confirmed he was standing down every week they’ve been on to Cottrell and Farage. Great reporting but the timing sucks.
With the latest polling showing Count Binface pulling out a 10 point lead over Nigel Farage the odds on Farage pulling out of the by-election have shortened to 3/1
As you hear the latest news of Tory greed and corruption from the Covid inquiry, don’t forget that we had THREE pandemic preparedness exercises, the biggest, exercise Cygnus, in 2016.
Findings showed the UK was scarily unprepared for a pandemic. The Tories didn’t just fail to act on the findings they refused to fully participate in the exercise including making life or death decisions.
Ultimately, they favoured ideological austerity over replenishing stockpiles. Four years later Covid hit and instead of acting fast they thought about how their donors and mates could profit as our NHS workers used fucking BIN BAGS while attending to patients.
To add insult to injury the fuckers partied and got coked off their tits in Westminster as millions died and suffered in isolation.
Never forget what those scumbags did.
Hey @Nigel_Farage if i go lay flowers for someone I dont tend to make sure people are recording or taking photos...
I also dont nod to them to let them know im starting my act..
is they anything genuine about you at all? that isnt fake or bought and paid for
Think it's worth repeating. Zia Yusuf claimed no state support was being offered to Reform MPs for protection. In reality, Nigel Farage was offered a car, a trained driver, a bodyguard, and security on a similar level to that offered Kemi Badenoch. That's quite the deception.
Whoever came up with this deserves a standing ovation. 😂😂😂
“Stop the bungs” with Count Binface standing on the beach while Nigel Farage rows away in a boat full of cash… satire doesn’t get much better than this.
So now confirmed from Sky News that Farage delayed his "laying flowers" performance until all the TV crews were running and offered to repeat it for "B roll content"
Odious little man.
Farage has spent more time in Clacton in the last 72 hours than all the hours added up since he became MP!
Think about that when you bring your bin in!😉
