Farage claims his failed-Tory recruitment drive is because he needs people with experience of govt.
What he really means is - experience of lying. Repeatedly and shamelessly.
He has a stellar line-up with Braverman, Zahawi and the v practised, ‘Honest Bob’.
What a grim bunch of grubby little cheats.

Robert Jenrick is lying.
Reform UK have spent, to date, almost £1.5 MILLION with Harding Print Solutions.
They are NOT a local Manchester printer.
They are Reform's go-to print company and have been for a long time.

“When was the last time anyone spotted the Reform UK leader 'at work' in his own constituency of Clacton-on-Sea? According to him, it’s 'a couple of days a week'. Sounds a lot like hybrid working, then.”

Between 2014-2020, approximately 1 in 3 of Erasmus+ funded projects were led by schools in the UK. Erasmus+ benefits young people from a range of ages and backgrounds - and this is just one of the things that makes the project so special.

The public were misled during the 2016 campaign, and recent polling has shown that the majority of Brits want to reverse Brexit. It's time we listen, and rekindle our ties with Europe.

It's hard to pick the one maddest element of British politics, but the tradition of committee room table-banging noise assessment before a leader is destroyed surely has to be in the running.

With a growing number of politicians calling for closer ties with our European neighbours, yesterday the Mayor of London, Sir Sadiq Khan, joined them. It is clear - there is widespread public support for repairing our relationship with Europe, and the Government must listen.
![My ultimate goal is for us to rejoin [the EU] and I think it will happen in my lifetime.
I want us to be part of a customs union. I’m an advocate for us being part of a single market. I think we can negotiate more now, because of how geopolitics has changed, than we could in 2016 or 2019. Europe needs us, and we need Europe.

That £240m contract Palantir won after Peter Mandelson took Keir Starmer to visit them? Government asserts "there were robust processes in place to ensure that government contracts are awarded fairly and transparently" but the award notice says it was a "directed award", ie without any competition.
