Dear the BBC Politics.

I think I can safely speak for approx 89.43% of the UK population when I tell you that Zia Yusuf is not wanted on our TV screens. Again.

He's an unelected party donor using up a seat that could be offered to a credible alternative.

People are saying that Nigel Farage has asked Elon Musk to ban people from X for sharing this clip of him attacking his crony Robert Jenrick.

Surely free speech champion Nigel Farage isn't that petty? But just in case, THIS is the video that you mustn't download or share

@lucyjaynewhite1 Are you for real?

@fentonstevens Happy anniversary. You’ve got a “groovy” kind of love

The Nigel Farage Guide to Being a Working-Class Hero

Step 1: Be born to a City stockbroker.

Step 2: Attend Dulwich College, fees currently £53,000 a year.

Step 3: Skip university. Become a City commodities trader instead.

Step 4: Run one of your metal broking firms into insolvency.

Step 5: Get elected to the European Parliament. Spend the next 21 years drawing a salary from the institution you're paid to dismantle.

Step 6: Claim £15,500 a year in expenses for an office your party was given rent-free.

Step 7: Put your wife on the EU parliamentary payroll. Take her off only when the rules force you to.

Step 8: Get investigated by the EU's anti-fraud office. Eventually have half your MEP salary docked to repay misused public funds.

Step 9: Throw a Brexit victory party at the Ritz. Decry the "professional political class" to a room of millionaires.

Step 10: Take £450,000 in personal gifts from Arron Banks. House. Car. Lifestyle.

Step 11: Take £5 million, undisclosed, from a Bangkok-based crypto billionaire. Days later, announce you're standing for parliament after all.

Step 12: Win Clacton. Take the £93,904 MP salary. Add £1.2 million a year from GB News at £2,300 an hour. Become the highest-earning MP in the House of Commons.

Step 13: Speak in parliament fewer times than any other party leader. Fly to America at least nine times in your first year. Refuse to hold in-person constituency surgeries. Holiday in France while parliament is sitting.

Step 14: Tell the working class you're one of them. Tell them to vote against their own interests, over and over again.

Pint, mate?

Having worked out that voters don’t like it when you threaten to dismantle one of the UK’s greatest achievements - the NHS -, he resorts to bare face lying.

Be clear, there is no doubt that if he gets into power, the NHS will be over.

Concern grows for Suella Braverman as she completely forgets she spent nine years as part of the Conservative government, including two periods as Home Secretary, responsible for immigration.

BREAKING: PGA Tour announces welcome back party for LIV players tonight on the 9th green at 9pm. Players have also been advised to dress nice for the occasion.

[Brendan May @bmay]

Reform imbecile insisting that his party’s leaflets never claimed they’d cut council tax, despite actual leaflets issued by Reform being read out to him live on air.

This is how Brexit happened, these people are entirely immune to any form of basic fact.

[Harry Eccles @Heccles94]

80k of benefits from the tax payer, and his salary is 100k.

[Reform Party UK Exposed 🇬🇧 @reformexposed]

@ReformUKReigate @HenrySmithUK Wonder if he still thinks this about his Leader @Nigel_Farage?

[Coolagorna @trueclausefour]

Kemi Badenoch claimed 4k a month council tax on her Grade 2 listed Farmhouse on her expenses

Nice if you can get it..Not so nice when taxpayers are paying the bill..

[Andy Ball @andyballyball]

@TiceRichard What’s the comparison? One’s a total, the other an average. Or was your post meant to be deliberately misleading?

[Harry Eccles @Heccles94]

It would be a shame if this started trending again 🤷‍♂️
