Erm, not sure Reform have thought this one through👇🤡

Would it really be wise to attack France with warships when 39% of the meat, 42% dairy and 29% fresh fruit & veg the UK imports comes through Calais (in France🤡) and France supplies a lot of UK electricity ?

Just saying😀

Hi @DailyMail, just wondering when we can expect to see this in your shite-rag?

[David__Osland @David__Osland]

You know that Fourth Lord Rothermere bloke? The billionaire who inherited the fortune the Third Lord Rothermere inherited from the Second Lord Rothermere, who inherited it from the First Lord Rothermere? Well, it turns out he's against inheritance tax.

Perhaps we as a society could take a moment to consider the President of the United States was forced by a Court yesterday to pay $6 million in damages to a woman he raped and the media coverage has been close to zero.

Michael Gove is proof positive that British politics is institutionally corrupt. He is a brazen liar. He awarded those PPE contracts to Michelle Mone, Doug Barrowman and the rest of his cronies. I’m disappointed that the spotlight isn’t also on Dido Harding in this national scandal. So many died but Mone and Barrowman continue to sail the seas in luxury while Gove will be doing the rounds at London’s most exclusive summer parties. 🥂

He’s a f*cking disgrace and should never have been allowed in the HoL. Considering his dodgy dealings with the VIP lane, I don’t know how he escaped a charge of misconduct in public office!

[Kevin Maguire @Kevin_Maguire]

Scandals don't come much bigger than wasting £10bn of £15bn spent on unusable PPE during Covid.

The Tory VIP lane for donors, cronies and chums was a rip-off door.

Hunt them down and grab back the £10bn no matter whatever that costs.

Boris Johnson’s govt wasted £10bn of public PPE during the coronavirus pandemic, official inquiry concludes.

Covid-19 inquiry chair, Heather Hallett, also criticised then Conservative govt's controversial “VIP lane” which gave high priority for PPE contracts to firms with political links to the Tories.

Of course Farage turned down Close Protection from the Metropolitan Police’s Protection Command. They are POLICE OFFICERS. The last thing Farage wanted was policeman aware of where he was going and who he was meeting.

[RS Archer @archer_rs]

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.

[Andrew Levi @AndrewPRLevi]

Nigel Farage doesn’t control when, or even if, a by election is held in Clacton.

The House of Commons does.

If a Commons majority decides that the parliamentary enquiry into Mr Farage must first be completed, so be it.

Press conferences aren’t parliament.

[Mr Ethical 🚩 @nw_nicholas]

Farage said his car brakes had been tampered with - didn't happen
His house was firebombed - didn't happen
Parliament security told him not to hold surgeries - didn't happen
His phone was hacked - didn't happen
Etc, etc....

[Jonathan Pie @JonathanPieNews]

This is the most Nigel Farage thing Nigel Farage has ever done. Stand down in the safest seat Reform holds, then stand again so he can win it back and say: “See? 20,000 people voted for me, so we can all forget about my dodgy billionaire mate.”

He is such a fucking drama queen.

"I took the money, I got caught taking the money, I couldn't think of a way of defending taking the money so, with the help of the British media I'm going to divert attention from taking the money by forcing a by-election and pretending I can't talk about the money because of it"

[James Melville 🚜 @JamesMelville]

Top trolling from Belgium.

Belgium hammer the USA 4-1 in their own back yard and the players mock Donald Trump by doing his dance.

[Parody Nigel Farage @Parody_PM]

Here I am in happier times with best buds Nathan Gill, now in jail for taking Russian bribes and George Cottrell, who went to prison for fraud then paid for my staff, security and social media and let me stay in his house near Buckingham Palace.

[Mr Ethical 🚩 @nw_nicholas]

Farage has spent his whole political life campaigning about immigration & small boats. But what does he do as soon as elected? The only piece of primary legislation introduced by Reform UK MPs since they entered Parliament - the Cryptoassets and Digital Finance Bill, to make U.K. more crypto friendly. I can't imagine why.

[Sam @SamCKx]

The more I dig, the more I realise that Nigel Farage is literally done for. It's over for him. The £5 million bung is big enough to take the entire Reform movement down and possibly land Nigel in jail.

1) The fact the donation was made BEFORE Nigel was MP is absolutely irrelevant. Parliamentary Code of Conduct requires all receipts for the full 12 months before election. Nigel receiving his bung just a few days before he announced his candidacy makes it so much worse, not better.

2) "Category 5: Gifts and benefits from sources outside the UK - THRESHOLD FOR REGISTRATION Section 39. Members must register, subject to the paragraphs below, any gifts or benefits with a value of over £300 which they receive from a source outside the UK."

Nigel argues this was 'purely personal' but the Code refers to partners or families when it comes to personal gifts... this takes us to the next issue...

3) Christopher Harborne has a long track record of making SUBSTANTIAL political contributions to Nigel's parties, first to The Brexit Party, and later to Reform. He is a POLITICAL DONOR - any "gift" he made to Farage CANNOT be argued as personal or without political context due to this track record.

4) Using his platform as an MP, Nigel went on to promote 2 companies in which Christopher Harborne holds $ billions in stock - Nigel NEVER publicly endorsed or mentioned these companies prior to the "gift". Nigel also began actively pushing for policy that would directly interest Christopher Harborne and his business affairs. These were not interests that any could argue could possibly be of interest to his constituents - deregulation of crypto, and lowering of taxes on crypto gains. Nigel spent a substantial amount of time and effort pushing these policies.

It is beyond a doubt that this is the biggest breach of Parliamentary Code of Conduct rules in relation to donations in parliamentary history.

But even more concerning for Nigel will be that if it can be proven he was secretly incentivised to use his public office to push for policies to support a wealthy donor, then he should very likely face a criminal probe for corruption and bribery. I suspect Harborne might also be exposed to this. The United Kingdom and Thailand have a bilateral extradition treaty. Maximum prison sentences of up to 10 years for the offence.

This is not going to go away.

Did you know that many people working in supermarkets such as Tesco and Asda still qualify for Universal Credit because their wages aren’t high enough to cover the cost of living?

That’s not a welfare problem. That’s a low-pay economy.

Taxpayers end up subsidising low wages while working people are told to work harder. Britain doesn’t have a benefits culture problem. It has a wage problem.
