The stupidity of Farage’s latest ‘plan’ is staggering.
Claiming they’d save British taxpayers money by ripping up international commitments and starting a trade war with Europe is the puerile foot-stamp of a party that uses prejudice as policy. Ruinous nonsense.

Reform would ‘cut benefits for EU nationals and hike NHS immigration surcharge’

I’ve reported on homelessness for years and met many, many people who have found themselves in awful situations
Every single one of them had more decency and integrity than this privileged plutocrat

It's taken a couple of months, but I think I've almost got over the automatic fight, fight, fight mode that I had on Twitter.

With Farage back on Question Time last night...
...here is your reminder that Farage was on BBCQT a record-breaking 35 times before he became an MP.
And, further, that the panellist selection on BBCQT has been heavily slanted to right-wing think tanks and commentators over the years.

Nadine Dorries's book is full of astonishing conspiracies, from Mossad to gay orgy networks
Her theories about plots to undermine Tory prime ministers are paranoid fantasies - you have to admire her chutzpah if nothing else

Not sure why Farage thinks posting videos of himself slagging off Jaguar adverts and saying he hopes they go bust… is what an MP should be up to.
Such an insecure, prejudiced little man, emboldened by other inadequates to think he can sound off about everything he doesn’t like.
It’s pathetic.

Someone seriously needs to take him aside and explain that the farm redistribution under Stalin isn’t a particularly close comparison in this case.
Sigh.
