Classic elite behaviour.
How dare someone question my views, it’s beneath me to speak to these people.
Just another bunch of Toffs pretending to speak for the common person

Nigel Farage lashes out at a FT journalist and refuses to answer the question.
Is this how Reform UK would ignore media questions if they got into government?

Hungary, please please please reject Orban in April!
Worth noting that the only two European capitals on Rubio’s post-Munich tour were Budapest and Bratislava. Orbán and Fico. This is the NSS in action: “cultivating resistance within European nations”. And it’s probably just the beginning.

Experts say we are on the front line of an information war. While they use digital weapons, our response is still analogue. This is an urgent national security threat.

I think a lot of sane people dismissed conspiracy theories but we live in a time when conspiracy theories are true. Russia did help Trump win the 2016 election. There really was a group of elite pedos trafficking children. Trump does think that people don't have the right to have guns. Topsy-Turvy

We still talk about Starmer's speech that used a different phase to Powell, and had a very different meaning.
Strangely we don't talk about Farage fully endorsing Powell's message, agreeing with the meaning, and claiming he wasn't a racist (I guess like with his school mates, 'there was no intent')

Zahawi often criticised this kind of language before he joined Reform
Zahawi is arguing about net contributors - and ignoring the "colonised" comment about takeover + subjugation.

If there was, it would start the calls for a general election for the new PM to get their own mandate.
