Essex Police release statement saying they did not tell Mr Farage, or any other candidate, not to attend the count and refute that there was any threat against Mr Farage.

So it turns out that the riots Farage incited were amplified by his foreign bot army.

Dear Mr Macron & the People of France,

We the British people, apologise for the idiots that are ReformUK. They are a minority party with 7 MPs who are rejects from other parties who embarrass our country, and who are under investigation for financial corruption.

Thank you 🙏🏻

Whilst I was shocked that my wife’s cancer surgery left us $5,000 out of pocket, the final bill has now come through.

The full cost? $98,524.16

That is the reality of a privatised healthcare system.

To those in the United Kingdom casually attacking the NHS and backing Reform UK Limited’s plans to dismantle it: understand what you are asking for. This is not abstract policy debate. This is what happens when healthcare becomes a market commodity instead of a public service.

Without insurance, that bill would have been ours alone. No safety net. No guarantee of affordability. Just life-altering debt at the worst possible moment.

Be very careful what you wish for !

The choice is simple. Vote @CountBinface and @Nigel_Farage will NEVER have any chance of being Prime Minister.
End his career... End Reform... Vote Binface!

@LouiesChelsea Before you vote for Farage, @louisechelsea, you should listen to this👇

[Robert Sproggit 🇪🇺🇮🇪 @robertsproggit]

A lot of people maybe unaware but @CountBinface raises money for Shelter through his merchandise sales on his intergalatic website.

Nigel Farage helps himself.

All this in two years. @Keir_Starmer.

Feel free to share.

[Shirley Salisbury @OscarGreta1846]

I blame the likes of Chris Mason, Laura Kuenssberg, Robinson who have manipulated, twisted and given so much misinformation to bring the current political situation into what it is now. Shame on you.😡

[Narinder Kaur @narindertweets]

I feel sorry for Keir Starmer.
He inherited a humongous mess and a media’s bias determined to bring down labour- a manufactured coup and the chance of the uk becoming great again is being torn from our hands..sponsored by Farage and co.

I'm not sure what Burnham is going to do any differently?
But if he is the man to keep Reforn out - I'll support it. But I remain very dubious.

[Chirpy Chet @ChirpyChet]

F*ck the nobheads who couldn't produce a spine to support Keir Starmer. Do I think that he got everything right? No. Did I expect Labour to be perfect? Hell no. But this??
Starmer expected to announce exit plan that will clear way for Burnham to become PM

The spectacle of the Labour Party tearing itself apart and trashing a leader/PM with a large parliamentary majority is astonishing and distressing in equal measure. After so many years out of power, it is recklessly irresponsible.

[JBL @johninsouthfla]

The BBC may have forgotten Farage's £5m grift, but if you remember it, please repost! Thanks.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

"My personal pride and joy." That's how Peter Mandelson described the Palantir deal he brokered.

The whole thing stinks. Kick Palantir out of our NHS, now.

NEW: Standards commissioner finds Nigel Farage committed seventeen breaches of MPs code of conduct.

He failed to declare around £380,000 in outside interests (approx 4x MPs annual salary) incl payments for promoting gold, presenting on GB News and from his friend George Cottrell, within 28 days.

Reform UK leader apologised for what he described as administrative errors by his team.

[Chris (#Scandal still NO Justice PO GF WR) @Chrisviews43]

Labour, you may have done plenty of good things over the last two years, but people are not hearing about them because Lisa Nandy has done one of the worst jobs imaginable as Culture and Media Secretary.

She has been weak, incompetent, and far too scared to properly challenge the watchdogs. GB News has been allowed to keep pushing the line, breaking standards, spreading misinformation and facing nothing more than a few harsh words. No real action. No real consequences.

The papers and broadcasters are supposed to follow rules and regulations. They are not supposed to be allowed to mislead the public freely while the government sits there doing nothing. But that is exactly what it feels like is happening.

And if Labour seriously thinks the media does not matter, then sit back and rely on hope. Hope that people somehow feel the good things you are doing, while the bad press makes everything look pointless.

@Keir_Starmer, you have been warned. If you are truly listening, then Lisa Nandy needs to go. It is that simple.

Labour needs someone with a backbone who will challenge media bias, hold the watchdogs to account, and make sure the public actually hears what the government is doing.

I have spoken to people who genuinely thought, from watching Sky and the BBC, that Nigel Farage and Reform were the governing party. The fact that this can even happen shows how badly Labour has taken its eye off the ball.

You are not taking control. You are not leading. You are walking on eggshells, burying your head in the sand, and letting the media shape the story for you.

And then you act shocked when people do not hear your message.

[Nick Reeves #RejoinEU #NAFO #FBPE @nickreeves9876]

An excellent article on how the British news media protects Farage:

There was not "so much as a murmur when another crypto-billionaire, living in Hong Kong—a man called Ben Delo—warned through his lawyers that he could take legal action against someone who dared to mention that he had a criminal conviction in the US. His lawyers said this was a personal matter and of no public interest.

Delo is another major funder of Reform—having donated at least £4m—as well as funding Toby Young’s Free Speech Union." Delo was pardoned by Trump in 2025.

Then there's Harborne, who stands to benefit from Farage’s promise of a “Big Bang” reform that could add tens of billions to crypto companies’ market value.

If, as Farage claims, the £5m is for security, there will be records

Invoices

Bank transfers

Accountancy records

Close protection companies have to be SIA registered

They will be a Ltd company, so there will be accounts with Companies house.

VAT

Easily proved, Nigel.
