A Scot living in England. Still not loving the tories.

@TedUrchin @thecoastguy I always thought that he was a bit of a pretentious twat, but otherwise sane and intelligent. Turns out that I was only correct about the pretentiousness.

[Neil Walker @NeilyWalker]

@andymoz78 Boris Johnson? He certainly seems to be doing his bit.

[Neil Walker @NeilyWalker]

@carolvorders Frankly, I wouldn't trust many of the current batch of Tory MPs to wipe their own backsides, let alone care for the elderly or collect bins.

[Neil Walker @NeilyWalker]

@jonsopel All the silly blue tick responses. It really has become the mark of the moron.

[Neil Walker @NeilyWalker]

@fascinatorfun @chriswadeevans I'd imagine UK Intelligence can probably muster up a few security specialists who can figure it out pretty quickly. Nobody is asking him to switch it on, just to hand it over.

[Neil Walker @NeilyWalker]

@LeroySkeete @argentedelcasti But he had lots of money "passing through" his business account in a completely normal, unsuspicious and definitely-not-criminal way.

[Neil Walker @NeilyWalker]

@BBCSimonJack I'm sure there were large amounts of money "going through his account". I suspect that was the cause of some suspicion.

[Neil Walker @NeilyWalker]

@MarkoSilberhand @GunnyJ Whether you think it's okay for kids to handle firearms or not, what idiot lets their child point a gun directly at someone, with their finger on the trigger. Even if you "know" it's not loaded. It's just teaching them a really poor lesson.

[Neil Walker @NeilyWalker]

@trx_dr @BladeoftheS Presumably that's why the banks haven't given him any explanation for closing his accounts. The fact that they've closed them does seem like a bit of a giveaway, though.

[Neil Walker @NeilyWalker]

@Mistyswoman To be fair on the banks, Farage's accounts must be an absolute nightmare in terms of anti money laundering checks. Even if I had no issues with his politics and personality, I wouldn't touch him as a client.

The regulatory equivalent of being asked to look after a rabid wolf.

[Neil Walker @NeilyWalker]

@DPJHodges Instead of, perhaps, blaming it on the fact that she and her predecessors came up with a plan that was obviously unlawful, unworkable, inhumane and economically idiotic from the start.

[Neil Walker @NeilyWalker]

@YetAnotherBan21 @mrjamesob You also need to have money to save in the first place. Not much good to people living paycheck to paycheck.

[Neil Walker @NeilyWalker]

@RhonddaBryant @NtNigel It's just resting in his account.

[Neil Walker @NeilyWalker]

@DMinghella @londoner_007 And the strong economy they plan to deliver won't get rid of the pain for normal, working people, either.

[Neil Walker @NeilyWalker]

@LizHolt79433967 @McFaul I assume being President of Russia pays pretty well.

[Neil Walker @NeilyWalker]

@BhattiQaisra @wartranslated I doubt it. It would also be an unacceptable display of weakness from Putin. He'd be finished regardless.

[Neil Walker @NeilyWalker]

@Llwyd_1 @toadmeister I assume that you'll be posting an apology for being so ridiculous on 1 January 2026.

[Neil Walker @NeilyWalker]

@AdamBienkov I disagree.

[Neil Walker @NeilyWalker]

@AdamBienkov @Michael57229696 Could have saved themselves a fortune and nobody would have known any different.

[Neil Walker @NeilyWalker]

@DCBMEP Won't change Johnson's fate and means even more turmoil in the Tory party. Delicious.
