So it turns out Matt Goodwin's Reform campaign manager was a holocaust-denying Nazi who said he would "never touch a Jewish woman.”
When do we start seeing all the coverage of the antisemitism crisis in Reform UK?

This is a blunt falsehood from Farage. 3.5m Epstein files were released on 30 Jan and on Jan 31, the FT carried a front-page story on Mandelson (see image).
People like Farage seem to dislike reporters aslking questions. If you do like reporters asking questions, pay for some (any!) journalism.

I’d never have thought a Labour Government would be responsible for such a draconian measure that was found to be unlawful by the High Court. Let’s hope they at least listen and overturn the ban immediately.

Productivity increases between 5% and 13% with working from home, and worker wellbeing improves hugely too.
But Farage doesn't care about reality. Or productivity. Or your wellbeing.
He cares about the workplace property investors who bankroll him.

New YouGov poll gives Reform its lowest lead since last April.

Looks like hoovering up a series of deeply unpopular, disgraced former Conservative ministers isn't quite the massive vote winning strategy that was predicted

The UK version of “Project 2025” by the Reform party includes a British ICE, a concentration camp for 24,000 people, mass surveillance and withdrawing from refugee, anti-torture and anti-trafficking conventions.
It’s on their website. That’s how comfortable fascists are in the UK today.

Imo “Nigel Farage doesn’t believe in Covid vaccines” would tank his polling if more people knew about it (though you could say that for a number of his policies)
Farage: "I believe in vaccinations when they're vaccinations. I don't think what happened with Covid were vaccinations. You have to keep having them every 6 months."
Conspiratorial nonsense.
Some vaccinations like Covid shots require multiple/seasonal doses because immunity fades & viruses change.
