Farage can now be easily boxed in to a corner where his only ‘defence’ becomes: “Yes I spouted Kremlin propaganda & Putin worship but, unlike Nathan Gill, I didn’t need bribes to do it.”
It is, once again, a question of whether interviewers have the temerity to shut down his whining obfuscations.

A truly chilling report. The Israeli Defence Minister has is asking the IDF to draw up plans to force 600,000 Palestinians in Gaza into a camp on the ruins of Rafah- something he’s calling a “humanitarian city.” Once in they wouldn’t be allowed to leave.

![Farage policy plan 'risks Truss-style market chaos'
(Extract of article)
Nigel Farage’s plan to slash tax and increase benefits would cause a market shock up to twice the size of Liz Truss's mini-budget, independent economists have told The i Paper.
The Reform UK leader pledged yesterday to scrap the two-child benefit cap and fully reinstate winter fuel payments for pensioners,
He restated commitments to raise the personal tax threshold to £20,000 and introduce a more generous marriage allowance so one spouse would be exempt from paying tax on the first $25,000 of their income.
Challenged on how he would pay for his pledges, Farage said he could save "about £70bn a year" by scrapping net zero, ending the cost of housing asylum seekers, abolishing diversity schemes and cutting 5 per cent off the money spent on quangos.
"If you add all of that up, you've got a pretty eyewatering number of £350bn [over five years]," he said.
"That may be, I accept, slightly op-timistic, but I think you can see very clearly the direction we're going in." Independent economists questioned the credibility of the figures.
Simon French, chief economist at investment bankers Panmure Liberum, said many of the cuts had already been outlined in Reform's general election manifesto, which promised to slash spending by £150bn to fund £141bn of spending and tax cuts commitments](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:c4xtyto7nrklhfkroyrsce2w/bafkreihikwappxjqvsnbzjzsqr5zzeunehnfigyv2v53opb2r4uzk4a2ti@jpeg)
