A true public servant and man of the people.
Generate his own money? You mean, take massive undisclosed ‘gifts’, do tacky videos without a thought for who you’re promoting, and use politics to make money?
You’re weekend reminder Nigel Farage wants to
- leave the ECHR
- repeal the Equality Act
- Strip back workers rights
- Lift restrictions on exploitative zero-hours contracts
- repeal the Renters’ Rights Act which abolishes “no fault evictions”
PLEASE DON’T FALL FOR IT
🚨 NEW: Nigel Farage appears to have breached MP rules after failing to declare that convicted criminal George Cottrell paid for his staff, security and social media output before 2024 election

Two years ago today the people of Clacton elected me as their MP. Since then I have held no constituency surgeries, hardly visited the place and earned more than twenty times as much as my MP salary in outside grifts.
Immigration is not the reason that you can’t get a hospital appointment, it’s the reason you can get one.
Please retweet for all the people who can’t seem to grasp that.

I am officially nominating Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) for the Nobel Peace Prize.
No President in History has ended the same war so many times.
Our Dear Leader has ended the war with Iran at least 38 times by CNN’s count.
No President has ever done this before.
And he is nowhere near finished ending it.
It’s a record worthy of the Nobel committee’s recognition. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
A rare article in the French press about Laure Ferrari, the 🇫🇷woman behind Farage👇
How did she manage to buy their €1m Clacton house ? (the one Farage originally "misspoke" about having bought himself, before changing his mind and claiming she bought it alone 🤡)
How did she pay for it ? "That's my business', she says, preferring to draw a veil of mystery over that"
You bet she does 🤡
