🔥 🇪🇸Ça… ça me prend aux tripes.
Des pompiers qui passent la journée à lutter contre les flammes, épuisés, cramés… et qui trouvent ce cerf coincé, à bout de forces.
Ils s’arrêtent.
Ils lui donnent de l’eau.
Ils le caressent.
Ils le sauvent.
Pas de discours.
Pas de caméras politiques.
Juste des hommes qui respectent la vie.
Voila ce que ça donne, de vrais héros.
Ces gars-là, ils valent mille fois mieux que tous les ministres réunis.
Respect.
❤️🇫🇷
Like si t’as les yeux qui piquent.
RT pour faire circuler.
Whatever Burnham does, you and your tabloid handlers will deem it too little, too large, too cheap or too dear.
And yet most of Labour expenditure is only required because you neglected to address any of the problems we faced when you were in government.
You are to blame.
If you’re just waking up and haven’t caught the news yet…
Reform UK lost two council by-elections to Labour last night in Thurrock.
I know Zia Yusuf and Nigel Farage won’t be tweeting about this one, so just making sure you’re all aware 😂😂😂
The wheels have not only come off for Nigel Farage, but they've caught fire and are speeding off down the road.
Everyone who has associated themselves with this grifter are now going to come under uncreased scrutiny — and not before time.
You don't have to lift many stones to see the creepy crawlies that live in the orbit of Farage.
For this particular tale of George Cottrell, the link to Brexit's Andy Wigmore is a strong one, but the darkest links are those to Montenegro.
As my prestigious colleague, @OneFinanceGuy, has been tirelessly pointing out for months, this Balkan nation seems to be the fulcrum on which much of the Cottrell empire rests.
As the character Deep Throat said in All the President's Men — just follow the money.
When I wrote last year about the three-month gap in Nigel Farage's register of interests, it garnered only some low-level attention. He was eventually found to be in breach of his duties as an MP for failing to register seventeen outside jobs.
SEVENTEEN.
They totalled £384,000, but this was judged to be inadvertent. He'd just forgotten almost half a million pounds worth of work.
But I, among others, pondered at that time, if he'd failed to declare these seventeen roles … what else could he be hiding?
Well, we are well and truly in the 'find out' phase now. Those stones are being lifted and lights shone into the darkest of his many, many cupboards.
And so far, the answer is … millions of pounds.
He has, quite literally hidden from the public eye, millions in undeclared cash, favours and services that were lavished upon him.
There is a set of seven ethical standards that all public office holders must adhere to in the UK.
The Nolan Principles.
Selflessness
Integrity
Objectivity
Accountability
Openness
Honesty
Leadership
Nigel Farage has obliterated the Nolan Principles.
Look at that list and tell me that he abides by a single one of those crucial tenets. Not a chance.
As with all things, Farage treats his role as an MP as a money making vehicle — nothing else.
Follow. The. Money.
Time is up, Nigel. Ticktock motherflipper.
Have a lovely Sunday, I'm going to look at some old planes and cars. 🛩️
Lee Anderson in Dec last year promising that the flags put up by Reform run Nottinghamshire council wouldn't cost a penny because they would be sponsored. Seven months and £75,000 of taxpayers' money later, there are still zero sponsors. Vote Reform, waste money.
How does Five Homes Farage possibly persuade ordinary people he is on their side? Imagine being rich enough to own 5 homes outright - 4 of them purchased since 2020. Imagine the sheer brass neck of not even declaring to parliament where the cash to buy 3 of them came from 😳
Sunday morning, 8am. The sun is shining and Zia Yusuf hasn't tweeted in three days.
I think it'safe to assume that all is not well under the Reform UK umbrella.
No bombastic racism, no calls for anyone to resign or attempts to incite violence.
Enjoy the silence. 😃
Not 'dragged up'.
Comments from less than five years ago on a Twitter account that has now been deleted.
Mistakes are usually a one-off, but he needed to scrub his entire history because he's a generational wrong-un.
I see that #TwoTierPolicing is the top trending item this morning.
Let's make this very simple — it does not exist in the UK.
It is a racist dog whistle invented by the far-right, Reform UK.
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.
