having dinner at a hotel bar the other night struck up a conversation with a mid-level United Healthcare exec. he told me he puts over $300,000 a year on his company credit card just for entertaining clients. In case you’re wondering why you can’t afford health insurance
If Keir Starmer, Ed Davey or Zack Polanski or even Badenoch took a £5million bung or used the language Farage has twice..
They would be GONE. The media alone would have hounded them out of their job within a week.
There's your two tiers alright.
And it is the media.
And there we have it
The man who has not bothered to vote in Parliament since March 18th
The man who has essentially disappeared from view for 3 weeks - terrified of questions
Puts on a performative political act for the camera's at 12.26pm
By 3.26pm he is off in a swanky club - so the Parliament appearance as ever was pure show for the camera's as he knew his Party had a question
Parliament has the power to Expel MP's, The House of Commons itself has the power to permanently expel an MP by voting to pass a resolution to remove them.
Someone should put forward a vote on Farage after what he did yesterday.
I'll tell you what's 'unsustainable', and it's not state pensions, NHS funding or disability benefits. It's a society in which the majority works longer hours for lower wages so the 1% becomes richer still.
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.
You know what Mamdani taxed the rich and then suddenly libraries started to work, potholes got fixed, childcare exists, and workers get paid more.
That's why billionaires are losing it and want him gone!!!
I’m returning to @NorthTyneLibs Community Hub & Library, York Road, Whitley Bay, NE26 1AB on Thurs, June 25th 7pm. I’ll be discussing Her Sister’s Killer with @vpeanuts, the hugely popular programming chair of @bay_tales. Do join us: https://t.co/slP4IXopek
We’re obsessed with the idea that poor people might take more than they need, but we never question why the super rich are never satisfied with what they already have.
It would be pretty cool if billionaires started competing over who could plant the most trees, house the most homeless people, and remove the most pollution from the Earth.
At least 40% of #UniversalCredit claimants are in employment. They claim because their employers do not pay them enough. The overwhelming majority are working class women in low paid jobs, many work in care. The solution is a proper living wage not attacking the working poor.
Nigel Farage hasn't bothered to vote in Parliament for the last 11 weeks.
During that time he will have collected about £50,000 in wages and expenses.
But he will tell you Disabled People and immigrants are the problem.
No, it's rich lazy parasites like him.
