Take a look at Farage's grovelling "Happy Birthday Mr. President" tweet. He's even holding a bottle of Trump wine.
Farage is no proud patriot. He's a creepy fascist sycophant who parrots Russian lies and thinks Andrew Tate is an important voice for men.

The re-introduction of Supplementary Vote for mayoral elections is a huge step in the right direction.
It does away with the insane Conservative-backed measure that allowed mayors to be elected on 8%(!) of the public supporting them.
