It’s interesting how the media are ignoring one of the biggest political scandals of our time?
How much did Nigel Farage know about the payments made by the Kremlin to his colleague, Nathan Gill?

Farage earns more than any other MP for NOT being an MP. He says it’s “obviously sad” that part of his constituency is the most deprived area in England.
But everything he’s ever done, said and wanted has made sure of it.
This is the whole country if he gets into power.

Ah the 1970s.
Stagflation, three day weeks, collapsing infrastructure. Civil War in Northern Ireland. In yer face racism and bigotry everywhere. Bin strikes. Strikes in general. Blackouts. Industrial decline. Wage inequality. Dog crap everywhere. And households spent 25% of their income on food.

I love the way that Ken Clarke doesn't suffer fools and I'm no fan of any Tory #pmqs. How the calibre of MPs has fallen with the likes of Kruger and Sultana.

Monbiot really is a fool. I guess the problem is that on the privileged perch where he sits he does not value or need the very clearly left-wing things the government has done since it was elected.
George Monbiot: "This government is more Tory than the Tories."
Bernard Jenkin: "This is the most left-wing government we have ever seen."
Labour MP: 🤷🏽♂️

People seem to have easily forgotten Tory misdemeanours and choose to ignore current Reform wrongdoing.
Lest we forget...
'Using his second home allowance, Bernard Jenkin claimed £50,000 in rent on a farmhouse owned by his sister-in-law, just over the road from a country home part-owned by his wife.' (May 2009)
