Nigel Farage doesn't have to do politics.
He could walk away and earn millions in other careers, away from the constant scrutiny, abuse and security risks.
Instead, he chose the hardest path: building Reform UK, facing relentless media attention, and living with serious threats to his safety. Reports last week said he had received 597 death threats this year.
Whether you support him or not, very few people would voluntarily choose that life.
Nigel Farage is willing to risk everything because he believes Britain is worth fighting for.
To reiterate, on a £5 pint, over £2 is made up in taxes.
The publican is left with around 15p profit.
That is what needs addressing.

Everyone talks about how AI will benefit mankind, but should we also be worried about the risks it could pose?
AI has the potential to revolutionise medicine, science, education and industry. But in the wrong hands, it could also be used for mass surveillance, cyberattacks, misinformation, autonomous weapons, fraud, and the loss of millions of jobs.
Like every powerful technology, AI could become one of humanity’s greatest achievements or one of its greatest challenges.
Do you think AI will ultimately do more good than harm?
I don’t know how Cadbury gets away with still using the famous ‘Glass and a Half’ logo when its chocolate contains less cocoa and milk than it used to, and far more palm oil and sugar.
If the recipe has changed so much, should they still be allowed to market it with a symbol that many people associate with quality and a high milk content?
Enoch Powell is one of the most unjustly maligned people in British history. He was so right it’s painful.
If there was any justice in this country there would be a massive statue of Powell in Whitehall with an inscription that reads “He tried to warn us. We didn’t listen.”
Apparently Argentina have put in a petition with over 100,000 signatures to replay the World Cup final? Should England do the same and put in a petition to reply the Semi Final against Argentina?
