@gordonhill54 Absolutely Gordon, spot on Sexton would do that? the Doc he would go for it Sir Alex always gambled or 1999 would never have happened. Going back to 1970, 2-0 up v Germany , though the heat was a factor. I know what side i would rather see or play for? best wishes Merlin

I’m in #PMQs more than Nigel and I’m not even elected yet.

The police ask Reform not to speculate. So Reform attack them. The family ask. So they start to attack them. Close friends ask. They in turn get attacked. Journalists report this. Then they get attacked too. This is how desperate Reform now are to deflect from Farage and sleaze.

Farage's resignation is straight out of Trump's playbook.

'I saw a scared man... I think Farage might need to grow a pair.'

@JessPhillips and caller Gabriel agree that Nigel Farage wouldn't handle the scrutiny of being Prime Minister.

[Ed Davey @EdwardJDavey]

The Chancellor has the power to stop Farage's cynical ploy. I've written to her this morning urging her to act.

Farage should not be allowed to resign until the investigation into his dodgy dealings has concluded. The people of Clacton deserve the facts first.

This Farage speech is right out of the Trump playbook.

[Cantona Collars AKA Larry @Cantona_Collars]

Farage resigning from his position as an MP only to run for the same seat in a by-election is a horrific waste of taxpayer's time and money.

Its a safe seat which he will win again. A totally pointless exercise.

Labour source: "Causing an unnecessary by-election because you’re annoyed about being asked questions about your undeclared £5 million donation and all your gifts from your aristocratic mates, so you can try and say you’re not a part of the establishment."

To George and Laura, Bill and Hillary — we're grateful for your friendship, counsel, and devotion to this country. And to Joe and Jill, thank you for being on this journey with us.

[Michelle Obama @MichelleObama]

Barack: You told me all those years ago that you couldn’t promise me the world, but you could promise me an interesting life. Of course, you outdid yourself and managed to give me both.

Eight years in the crucible, and not once did you melt from the heat. Not once did you let it harden you. Instead, you used it to reveal your truest essence: your stubborn optimism and unflinching courage, your dazzling brilliance and unpretentious decency, your ferocious work ethic and absolutely unshakable moral fiber.

Probably the best advert for football & beer in the world: recorded in Dagenham in 2005 this is the Carlsberg Old Lions advert including the talents of Alan Ball, Peter Beardsley, Terry Butcher, Bobby Charlton, Jack Charlton, Stuart Pearce, Peter Reid, Bryan Robson, Peter Shilton, Chris Waddle, and Des Walker, with Sir Bobby Robson as manager.

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.

I’m not going to amplify Reform’s ad by sharing it, but the wilful misrepresentation of Kemi Badenoch - selectively quoting what she said about ‘white lives matter’ - is disgraceful and dangerous.

It needs to be challenged, including by those of us who are not Conservatives.

[Sam @SamCKx]

There's not a single person in Britain who doesn't agree that the death of Henry Nowak was a tragedy, and the way the police handled it was absolutely disgraceful.

There's only one political party, however, who want to take that family's pain and politicise it for their own benefit.

[(((Dan Hodges))) @DPJHodges]

Number of people asking me to comment on the Henry Nowak case. His father said "We do not want his death to be used to create further division, hatred or tension". If you can't respect his wishes, you're scum. That's what I think.
