Hey @JeremyClarkson as a small agricultural business that depends on trading at small local events, it’d be great if you could stop trying to pressgang your Hawkstone cider into every event we do. You don’t grow apples or make the cider yourself. Butt out - you’re bankrupting us
So listen.
@thenerve_news has the receipts.
A comprehensive timeline of Nathan Gill & Nigel Farage’s pro-Kremlin influencing activities & 2 other MEPs, David Cobourn & Jonathan Arnott.
Please read & share.
Victoria Derbyshire runs through the timeline of the undisclosed £5m ‘gift’ by crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne in 2024 and ends by saying Reform declined the opportunity to talk discuss it on #newsnight
Reform and Farage are afraid of scrutiny.
Nigel Farage wants you to forget about the £5m.

Nigel Farage wants you to forget about the racist candidates, the misogynists, anti-Muslims, the hypocritical and criminal Reform UK candidates.
Tell everyone, don’t let anyone forget.
Happy Bank Holiday! Here's a tongue-in-cheek parody song about @Nigel_Farage accepting a massive gift from a cryptocurrency billionaire and then hiding from a BBC interview - to the iconic tune of the legendary @The_Proclaimers. We're calling it: "Five Million Quid" 💰🤑💰🤑💰🎶
Hi @SuellaBraverman ,
48 hours ago I asked you to substantiate or withdraw your claim that “250,000 foreign students took £4bn in UK loans.” That time has now passed. You have provided no evidence, no clarification, and no correction.
I have taken the time to examine the data myself.
I have reviewed materials from the Student Loans Company, the Department for Education, the House of Commons Library, the UK Statistics Authority, and reporting from Times Higher Education. Across these sources, one thing is clear. Your statement is presented in a way that gives the public a deeply misleading impression.
Let’s deal with this carefully.
The £4bn figure you reference relates to the total value of student loans issued to non UK nationals. It is not a direct cost to the taxpayer. These are loans. They are repaid over time based on income. Presenting that figure as if it were money handed out or lost is not an accurate reflection of how the system works.
Then there is your use of the phrase “foreign students.”
This is where the distortion becomes more serious.
The fact (which you know quite well) is those eligible for UK student finance are not newly arrived international students. They are people with settled status, indefinite leave to remain, refugee status, or long term lawful residence in the UK. They live here. They work here. They pay into the system. And under the law, they are entitled to access student finance.
Standard international students on student visas are generally not eligible for these loans.
By leaving out that distinction, you create a very different picture in the minds of the public. One where large numbers of people are arriving from abroad and immediately accessing public funds. That is not what the data shows.
You also cited a figure of 250,000 without pointing to a clearly published dataset or transparent methodology. Numbers like this carry weight. They should be used with care, not as loose estimates in politically charged statements.
I am not interested in party politics. But I am concerned about what this kind of messaging is doing to the country.
When lending is presented as spending, and long term residents are presented as outsiders, it fuels resentment. It deepens division. It creates tension where clarity is needed. And ordinary people end up carrying the consequences of that confusion. Like I was being racially attacked and profiled in my initial response to you in X by supporters of your party who were obviously misled and triggered by your misinformation.
I did consider legal action. But the reality is that the law is not designed to deal easily with this kind of broad public misrepresentation. You know that, which is why ignoring a challenge like mine carries little immediate consequence.
That does not make it acceptable.
I will be submitting a formal complaint to the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards regarding your use of misleading statistical claims in public communication.
The public deserves accuracy. Not selective framing. Not distortion. And certainly not narratives that risk turning people against each other on the basis of incomplete facts.

I was sceptical that any party political broadcast could shock me. I’ve seen it all before and so on. But I’m still spooked by this. In the end it’s all about the character of Reform, their leading members and the kind of things they not only believe but say.
Do watch
Excuse me. But banned why? Are we seriously saying Farage UK should have its own 24/7 news and propaganda channel with barely a peep from @Ofcom but if another party uses what Farage and Co have said in an election broadcast they can’t show it. Madness. Anyway do watch it. It is very powerful
