My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

Seen a lot of comments about Reform voters not caring what Farage said at school, which is probably true.
But you've also got to consider people who aren't going to vote Reform but you want to turnout or vote tactically against them.

One of the good things about history is — if you look back at Europe 100 years ago (entre deux guerres) or 200 years (entre revolutions) or 700 years ago (entre la guerre de cent ans) — we live in an incredibly successful and peaceful experiment in pooled sovereignty. F*ck M*sk

I'm really pleased that the accusations against Farage are quite rightly not going away. He appears very, very rattled and deservedly so.
This is very long overdue.
