This is what’s known as dodgy as fuck…
Farage is in hock to murky foreign billionaires, taking their money to prioritise their interests if they buy him power. He’s exploiting people’s racism and anger to pretend he’s on their side. But he’s already sold them out.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

This is bonkers as it presumably will lead to the Tories being squeezed by Reform as a poor tribute band and the Lib Dems because they are dismissing the one nation Tories.

You can understand why folk feel so helpless but asking the man who brought the train wreck that is Brexit is like a summons to the arsonist to put the fire out!
"The valleys and west Wales are two of Europe’s most deprived regions,” Joe Rossiter of the Institute of Welsh Affairs says. “They had a lot of infrastructure spending from the EU."
And now the impoverished Welsh communities are turning to Farage, the man responsible for stopping that EU spending.
