How much more evidence do people need? Farage is and has always been a Fascist, ReformUK is a Fascist party. He is courting the very worst of the FarRight with a blatant Neo Nazi code that most will not recognise or understand.

100% agree, I said the same last week, they have destroyed what they see as incriminating evidence. It is so obvious.
Other countries have the files too, especially Russia.

Let me just be the one millionth person to observe that this quite possibly means that he and his lawyers have already destroyed the portions of the Files they didn't want us to see. Hopefully they left accidental traces of this.

It’s not acceptable that healthcare staff should have to pay £100 for a COVID vaccine since the NHS as their employer have a duty of care to their staff as well as patients. In protecting staff , they would be protecting patients from hospital acquired infection and helping to avoid staff shortages.
