WOW -- Danish reporter *goes there* with Mark Rutte
"You sit next to Donald Trump at moments when he talks about conquering Greenland, talks about lashing out at allies like Spain -- things it doesn't seem like the old Mark Rutte would approve of. Does this have any affect on your self-respect when you sit there and say nothing?"
‼️ Listen to BBC Today:
Q: “What is your appeal going to be to the people of Clacton?”
Count Binface: “Well… I’m not Nigel Farage.”
😂
Farage called this by-election to dominate the headlines. Instead, he’s handed @CountBinface a national platform.
The International Court of Justice has ruled that Israel is illegally occupying Palestine.
It means the UK is obliged to take concrete steps. But two years on, Labour have remained silent and have not banned trade with illegal Israeli settlements
BBC: "have you ever been to Clacton?"
@CountBinface: "no, because I understand from the current incumbent that is part of how you do the job."
politics is BACK, baby
Nick Robinson to Zia Yusuf: "You say this is all about standing up to the establishment.
"You're a multi-millionaire. You made your money selling luxury helicopter charters and rare wines to the super-wealthy.
"Nigel Farage is a public schoolboy, a former commodities trader who gets £5m gifts from his friends and lives in a 5-storey house next to Buckingham Palace courtesy of a man convicted of fraud.
"Do you really think you are in a position at Reform UK to claim not to be part of the super-wealthy, self-serving establishment?"
Nigel Farage is the epitome of the establishment.
He makes millions at the expense of the poorest, while blaming the most vulnerable to protect his wealth and power.
We cannot afford a society that feeds the expensive ego of Nigel Farage. Clacton deserves better.
“Who do you believe? Them… or Benjamin Netanyahu?”
@mehdirhasan names the UN officials, human rights and aid groups, prominent Israelis and medical organizations that have accused Israel of committing war crimes, ethnic cleansing, genocide and starvation - all in 60 seconds.
No they’re not. They’re waiting for the outcome of a parliamentary enquiry.
They’re not playing a game put on by an attention seeker.
The fact he couldn’t see this coming makes him a terrible tactician.
He is, to use a northern expression, a bellend.
People versus the establishment?
Are you kidding?
Nigel Farage is the son of a stockbroker who went to Dulwich College and then follows his dad into the city, gets gifted millions, promotes crypto and gold bullion, been in politics for decades - he IS the establishment
#Israel must immediately release Palestinian Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya and all the health & care workers arbitrarily detained: UN experts. The practice of medicine is not a crime.

If you say you hate the Iranian government, nobody accuses you of hating the Iranian people. But if you hate the Israeli government, somehow you’re accused of hating all Jews worldwide. How does that work? 🤔
Labour, Tories, Lib Dems and Restore all refuse to contest the Clacton by-election. At this rate the only serious opposition faced by @Nigel_Farage could be @CountBinface - which is an interesting challenge for tactical voting.
Nigel Farage resigns as MP for Clacton, triggers a by-election and plans to stand in said by-election in a bid to become MP for Clacton - which, to reiterate, is the job he has just resigned from.
What a waste of tax payers time and money.
Utter nonsense.
Reform’s Robert Jenrick has an absolute meltdown on Sky news when challenged with a statement that Sky hadn’t even spoken to Nigel Farage’s daughter. #clacton
