Kudos to @mehdirhasan.
Not only did he invite me on his show to talk about my investigation into Farage’s funders (no UK channel ever did).
But he also asked a former colleague of Nathan Gill’s in the EU parliament whether UKIP had ever taken Russian bribes 🔥
🐧UPDATE🐧
Well, well, well, well … well! Pressure does work.
Nigel Farage has started to declare his Register of Interests again.
He's definitely in breach, though, due to the received and declared dates being way over 28 days on multiple occasions.
To all the many thousands of Farage sycophants that went to the trouble of replying to my posts over the last week or so, trying to make out that he had stopped earning, or was somehow exempt … now what?
Your Dear Leader has to follow the rules like everyone else.
Now we wait for the media to report the glaring five/six month gap when he 'forgot' to declare. You can see in the spreadsheet that there's a huge gap.
It turns out there's another thing he's tried to copy from Trump, that hasn't worked … unaccountability.
By my reckoning, he's managed to put himself in breach of the rules five times in the most recent declaration:
a) GB News payment — £43,491.60 received on 31st July, declared on 3rd October.
b) GB News payment — £51,438.00 received on 29th August, declared on 3rd October.
c) Speaking Engagement for Imperial Independent Media — £6,493.11 received on 8th May, declared on 3rd October.*
d) Speaking Engagement — £6,493.11 received on 19th May, declared on 3rd October.
e) Speaking Engagement — £12,986.23 received on 10th June, declared on 3rd October.
* Farage has split this one single speaking engagement into three separate declarations. So actually it should show a single entry for £25,972.45. He states in the Register that he received it in three payments.
You can see that each one of those entries is in breach of the 28 days rule so he should be in line to make a Statement to the House and attend remedial training, at least.
Will he? Unlikely.
I am aware of several other speaking engagements that Farage has been involved in that do not appear in the Register, but I'll save them for next week.
Here's the updated spreadsheet that shows the massive gap in his declarations.
Have a great Friday. 😊
DO NOT BE DISTRACTED!!!!
TRUMP & EPSTEIN ARE SEX TRAFFICKERS!!! I’m gonna post this every day so nobody forgets exactly who Pedophile Trump is and why the Epstein files have suddenly disappeared.
On #BBCQT - Fiona Bruce said that the audience and public didn't want to press Reform UK on their dodgy links to Russia.
I disagree.
RT if you agree it's in the public interest for Reform to explain about their links to Russian money and bribery!
Rafie Shouhed who owns a Car Wash in Van Nuys,California that was raided twice by ICE even though all of his employees are Legal citizens is now suing them for $50 million dollars for violating his Civil Rights after they threw him to the ground causing major injuries! 😡
Nigel Farage promised the electorate in Durham that if they voted Reform he wouldn’t put their Council Tax up.
Nigel Farage has just put their Council Tax up by 4.99%.
He lied.
AGAIN.
Stop being thick.
Stop voting for Nigel Farage.
Things @Nigel_Farage won’t answer:
1. Why did he lie about buying a house in Clacton?
2. What did he know about Welsh Reform Leader Nathan Gill’s Russian Bribes?
3. Why did he lie about meeting the Russian Ambassador?
4. Why is his flagship council Kent raising taxes and cutting services?
5. Does he still support DOGE now it’s shown to be a failure?
Why haven't we heard more about South Carolina Judge Diane Goodstein's house being set on fire, after ruling against Trump. Arson is suspected. Her husband and family is hospitalized. MEDIA: Do your f**king job.
It's now been five days since I broke the news that Nigel Farage is not declaring his income to Parliament.
The Observer ran a piece on Saturday saying the same thing.
Have any other single news broadcasters run with this? Nope.
Any news on the Russian spy at Reform? Nope.
I'd actually forgotten how extraordinary it is that when I won the leadership - I wasn't interviewed as it was too close to our party conference interview
And then refused a second time!
Part of the antidote to this is creating our own media platforms.
Hey @_BoldPolitics 👋🏼
The people telling us that leaving the ECHR will solve all our problems are exactly the same people who told us that leaving the EU would solve all our problems. So what could possibly go wrong?
Leaving the ECHR would allow the State Pension, the Minimum Wage, Sick Pay, Maternity Pay, Paid Holiday and working hour limits to all be abolished.
They would make hundreds of billions from this.
That is what they want.
Laura Kuenssberg interviewed:
- Ed Davey during Lib Dem conference
- Keir Starmer during Labour conference
- Nigel Farage during Reform conference
- Kemi Badenoch during Tory conference
The BBC refused Zack Polanski an interview during Green Party conference.
Blatant bias.
Not sure about you, but when ex megachurch pastor & Trump spiritual advisor Robert Morris gets only 6 months in prison for sexually abusing a 12yo girl - while homeless Willie Simmons gets life in prison without the eligibility of parole for stealing $9 - it’s so fucking unfair.
I had a fairly intense 2 weeks investigating #Farage#MoneyLaundering and it's now been sucked into the black hole that is @NCA_UK never to be mentioned again. Feeling very depressed. 🚩
🔴NEW🔴
We reveal that during the crucial period when convicted Reform leader Nathan Gill was most active, working directly with Russian President Vladimir Putin’s most senior ally in Ukraine, he was also one of Nigel Farage’s closest confidantes 1/12
