Nigel Farage has spent £1m taking out adverts in the papers to distract from the Nathan Gill Russian bribe scandal.

When Adolf Hitler came to power he released his imprisoned supporters from jail, crushed social security programmes in return for tax cuts for the rich and sent his thugs out to arrest immigrants and minorities.

On reports the Tories will back leaving the ECHR, Lib Dem Leader Ed Davey:
“Kemi Badenoch has chosen to back Nigel Farage and join Vladimir Putin by leaving the European Convention on Human Rights – a proud British creation championed by Churchill that protects everyone's rights and freedoms."

Farage's blood libel against migrants is meant to distract attention from his own party's tax-dodging, money-laundering, wife-beating, workers-and-reproductive-rights-destroying clown car of membership.
Don't stop saying this, because, to a man, Reform comes out badly when faced with the truth

Next Farage will claim African migrants are stealing and eating babies, now he’s dialled the BS lies up to 12..
Anyway let’s not forget he’s alleged to have avoided stamp duty on his Clacton house.. ooops I mean the house his French bird brought on his behalf.. but he’s not Angela Rayner so.. 🤷🏼♂️
