Over the last 36 hours, we have witnessed the very soul of Nigel Farage — his essence.
It has been over a month since he went into hiding, since serious questions began to be raised over his undeclared £5M donation.
A month since he appeared in front of TV cameras or underwent any questioning at all.
At 8am yesterday morning, Farage released a video, from a field somewhere, calling for rage. Calling for an end to the mythical two-tier policing.
Make no mistake, those were very carefully chosen words — he understood what he was unleashing, and his wish was granted last night in Southampton.
On Tuesday, the Home Secretary made a statement to the House regarding the murder of Henry Nowack. There was, as always, an opportunity to question Shabana Mahmood — was Nigel Farage in attendance?
No, of course not.
Today, Farage was granted a question at PMQs — the showpiece spectacle of the political week in which the country's news and politics fanatics tune in to watch — was Nigel Farage in attendance?
Yes, of course he was.
He had somehow found his way into work after missing 77 separate votes in Parliament because … he would, at least for three minutes, be the centre of the country's political attention.
His question was about the murder of Henry Nowack and the violence that erupted [on his command] last night, but he would not condemn it or call for calm.
Instead, he 'suggested' that this rioting might escalate.
This afternoon, he has performatively written to the BBC because someone on Newsnight dared to accuse him of inciting the violence — playing his perpetual victim card. Again.
And there we see the soul of Nigel Farage — a craven, desperate for attention, evil, petty and pointless man.
END RANT.
Robert Gros made £27m selling useless gowns via the VIP PPE Lane, of course he never paid back a penny, he bought 2 mansions instead.
RT and see if we can make him as famous as Michelle Mone.
Angela Rayner - £40k underpaid stamp duty - repaid. Lost jobs in Cabinet and Dep. PM.
Peter Murrell - £400k theft from SNP - going to prison
Huge coverage of both
Nigel Farage - £5m undeclared bung (possibly more) - goes to ground for a month.
Media coverage? You judge.
@MiaForTrump Many of the people commenting here think a reporter should shut up and write, while it is okay for the President to be as crude as possible and insult everyone (especially women) in the vilest terms. Get a compass.
Holding a good thought for my forever idol, Marilyn Monroe, on the 100th anniversary of her birth.
Long before “girl power” had a name, Marilyn showed the world what it looked like: confident, vulnerable, funny, determined, and completely unforgettable. She was far more than a beautiful face. She was a gifted actor, a cultural phenomenon, and a woman who worked incredibly hard to be taken seriously in a world that so often refused to see beyond the image.
A century after her birth, new generations are still discovering the magic that made her unlike anyone else before or since. There will never be another Marilyn. Her films, her timeless spirit, and the fascination she inspires continue to endure.
Thank you, Marilyn, for showing us that strength and vulnerability are not mutually exclusive, for inspiring generations to embrace their power and individuality, and to never stop believing in themselves. 💖✨
