Farage Putin groupie !
Would be quite funny if Farage’s desperate bid for Establishment respectability were derailed by someone deploying the sort of batshit ‘anti-Establishment’ populism that brought him to prominence in the first place.
🚨 Striking comments from Reform MP Rupert Lowe, who has questioned Nigel Farage's leadership in a Daily Mail interview

“It’s too early to know whether Nigel will deliver the goods. He can only deliver if he surrounds himself with the right people”

“Keir Starmer’s statement could also be interpreted as a stinging swipe at Badenoch.

“The Conservative leader defied all logic and political reason yesterday by leaping to Vance’s defence when drawn on his remarks.”

What #nigelfarage is saying is:

"We had to leave the #EU to run our own affairs, but it's perfectly OK to do what #DonaldTrump says".

Ok Nigel, whatever you say.

NURSE!

Just last week he backed forcing patients into "paying into effectively an insurance scheme"

You can blame Starmer for a lot of things, but accusing him of "running a boys club" when he put a woman in the position of Chancellor of the Exchequer for the first time EVER in UK history, it's not serious...
Three women who are serving or recently served in foreign-facing roles for the UK government, all of whom were granted anonymity to discuss sensitive matters, told us that the British prime minister had failed to promote women on the international stage.

Wow. 7 people died, including this poor police officer, only 42, and there are zero consequences! The guy who pepper sprayed the policeman, and sparked his death, got 7 yrs. Now he's been pardoned. Grotesque panto.
