Technically, of course, Farage is already boycotting the BBC.
The mewling toilet duck can’t keep up with his own whining.

Trump divided the country, extorted Zelenskyy, tried to steal an election, incited an insurrection, stole confidential documents and banged a porn star. That’s his legacy. He knows he’s incapable of achieving anything good. He’s hoping his ballroom will remind people of him.

US Citizen detained by ICE: Clearly it didn't matter that I was a citizen, a veteran, or identified who I was. They ignored everything I said. They just broke my window and dragged me out. I let them know I was a veteran, I wasn't doing anything wrong, just trying to get to work.

So tell me again how Nigel Farage, who just took the largest ever political donation, from a Tory mega-donor, and another donation from the Viscountess wife of the non-dom owner of the Daily Mail, is planning to "take on the establishment"

Yesterday the President fell asleep, yet again, during a televised fake Cabinet meeting staged so that each of his courtiers could heap praise on him, praise for which he couldn't stay conscious. He woke up just long enough to spew racism. Why is this not being treated as an emergency? >

Daisy Cooper is 💯 correct.
These are the Brexit boats, we've had Johnson's Brexit immigration, the Brexit taxes, the Brexit inflation and the Brexit devaluation of the £.
They must be forced to face the facts.

Before 1965 companies in the UK paid Income Tax, just like a person.
That would mean they would all now be paying 47% tax, not the 25% Corporation Tax they pay now.
On top of that they paid an extra 10% profit tax.
So they'd be paying 52.3% tax instead of 25% if it was 1960.

PFI is where Private Investment build NHS buildings and then the NHS rents it.
The result is the NHS permanently has 'no money' because it has to pay huge rent costs and the Government goes, "Oh dear we will have to cut services."

The lesson here is to focus on Russian interference in UK politics & Farage’s past, if you want to attack Reform. It’s their Achilles heel.
