Richard Tice has made up a fake quote from the PM to claim he incited violence against his political opponents.
It was not sufficiently challenged in the Sky News interview that he did not say it, because the interviewer didn't have the text.

Just to be clear:
- Paracetamol does not cause autism.
- Sadiq Khan is not introducing Sharia law in the UK
- We do not have a massive free speech problem here.
- Britain is not on the verge of civil war.
These are not controversial subjects or contested, they're just not true.

Farage wants the UK to quit the ECHR. It is exactly what Putin wants, for the UK to join Russia and Belarus as the only European countries outside the ECHR. It would be a huge victory for Putin in his war against human rights and the international rule of law.
Farage is a traitor.

(1/4) The ongoing market response to last week’s US tariff announcement was both predictable and preventable. Even if you agree with the premise of these tariffs, every reasonable effort should be made to give US companies sufficient time to adapt.
