#BondiBeach - so the BBC report the thoughts & prayers from all the real political leaders in the UK, followed by Farage making a political point. Well done Nige, you clearly don’t have a sympathetic bone in your body!

It’s really simple…
- Cap all political donations
- Ban foreign donations
- Strict conflict‑of‑interest & anti‑corruption laws with penalties
- No titles, honours or peerages for donors
- No govt contracts for donors
- Publish every donation/lobby meeting
…that’ll do it.

I’ll never forget the look of hatred Nigel Farage had for me at school, simply for existing
The Reform UK leader doubts people can recall their abuse from years ago. I’ve never forgotten his – it felt malicious

Shocked & stunned #BBC have done this. Clearly it breaches the #FarageProtocol so they will have to give him extra air time to compensate.
Well done BBC News’s Wyre Davies and Ben Summer for “doorstepping” ex UKIP MEP David Coburn outside his Normandy chateau.
Coburn has been named in connection with the pro-Russian influence campaign involving Nathan Gill but denies accepting payments in exchange for making pro-Russian statements.

As for Farage’s use of racist slurs being confined to his childhood - well, that's not what Alan Sked, the founder of UKIP, claimed in this 2014 interview.
He says here that Farage was using the "n" word as late as 1997.
Farage would have been about 33 at time.

BBC News explain that because of Brexit, Brits will be photographed and have their fingerprints taken when going into the EU, as the UK now is a third country
BBC News forget to explain that the UK helped create these rules when we were part of the EU because we wanted stronger border control
