Ukip founder Alan Sked claimed in 2014 that Farage was using the n-word in 1997 (aged 33, not 17) to say why Ukip would not secure black voters. Sked resigned in 1997 and criticised Ukip's trajectory under Farage.

Farage and his party of Russian paid jokers are sexist racist pigs, who sold out our country for personal gain. Farage also avoids tax on all of it. Brexit was for Putin.
Asked again and again whether he ever racially abused his fellow pupils, as 20 people at his old school have now said he did, Nigel Farage will only say that he never did so in a "hurtful way" or "with intent"

My mom and I went to see 'Sisu 2’ yesterday. It was surprisingly funny, for an action-revenge movie. I never thought my mom would laugh so hard about commies getting blasted in different ways. This was way more fun than most DC movies, and it was made for $12m.

I’m yet again struck by how small the amounts of money (in corporate or government budget terms, not for individuals) needed to influence politics are.
Gill‘s MEP salary was around €100k net plus very extensive expenses, and it still only took €5k a pop to betray his continent, country and voters.

Delicious justice for Nathan Gill, served ice cold.
Pretty sure this was not his only crime, but still good to see him go down for a good stretch.
The first of the "Bad Boys of Brexit" to serve time, but hopefully not the last.

It really is fascinating to see this messaging finally get put in front of the mainstream after countless Mamdani supporters were saying this throughout his campaign.
