Rather than answer a question, Farage insults the (female) journalist asking it. Wonder where he got that tactic from?

And before they try to wriggle out of this, Suella Braverman served as a minister for 82% of the last parliament (2019–24), while Robert Jenrick served as a minister for 66%.

So much for not being ministers for "very long" under the last Conservative government.

Reform UK = More Tory failures.

But we won't offer a vaccination for Covid for kids despite it being one of the most devastating illnesses of modern times..
Or admit that minimising vaccination for Covid has meant a weakening of uptake of all vaccinations
#measles
🆕 We’re excited to announce the launch of a new government campaign urging parents and guardians to get their little ones vaccinated to protect against serious illnesses such as measles.

Watch this then call Reform's freephone & ask which of their children went to private schools as you are seriously considering voting for them.
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?

A recent poll by Savanta on behalf of ITV Youth Tracker found that 83% of 16-25 year olds would vote to rejoin the EU. Young people are the future - it's time we listen to them and ensure that future generations are not held back by the disastrous decision to cut our ties with the EU.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but listening to an audio book absolutely counts as “reading” a book.

In fact, I’d argue that listening to an author read their own work aloud is an exceptionally magical and even holy experience.

I love it so much. Especially as my eyesight gets worse.

RFK, jr & team are trying to squash the market for vaccines and US funding for vaccine R&D and thereby cut off vaccine development globally. It's incumbent on other powers (including e.g. US states) to act to preserve the vaccine development system with research and vaccination funding.

Measles is a bellwether. Because it’s the most contagious vaccine-preventable disease, when vaccination rates drop, it’s the first to start spreading.

Now we’ve got mumps rolling up.

Expect more.
