Reform tried to dismiss questions on Farage’s racism, saying they should be asked about the ‘substance’ of their policies instead.
Unsurprisingly, their policies are shit too.

This is obscene. Why can't other politicians say that?

The 25 richest families are collectively $358.7 billion richer than a year ago, with a combined fortune totaling $2.9 trillion.

The use of the abbreviation 'Xmas' isn't some anti-christian woke plot to remove Christ from Christmas. The abbreviation has been in use for hundreds of years, with the 'X' representing the ancient chi-rho symbol 'XP' that stands for 'Christos'.

People are choosing a politics of decency, courage and imagination.

They’re choosing a politics that doesn’t scapegoat the vulnerable or remain quiet on injustice.

People are choosing to make hope normal again.

This is nonsense from Blue Labour. There are now 8 million more Remainers than Leavers – and that's without any of the main parties arguing for the benefits of EU and Single Market membership for the last 9 years. To say we should keep a destructive policy due to cowardice is crazy!

A serious low point, even for Farage!

Excellent question.
🔴 Nigel Farage’s Reform is more reliant on super-rich backers than any major party in modern British political history

75% of *all* Reform donations *ever* have come from just three rich men

Is this what democracy looks like?

I have only one observation to make, and it's one word - GOOD. Maybe the electorate is beginning to catch on.

This would be an excellent idea for the UK as well.
According to a new study, members of Congressional leadership perform 47% better in stock market trades than their rank-and-file peers, thanks to access to nonpublic information.

Today would be a great day to ban ALL elected officials from trading stock, don't you think?

He will eventually become the most despised man in the UK. The truth always finds a way to the surface.
I haven't seen any yet but you could probably find a few contemporaries who didn't personally witness Farage being Farage at school. But there doesn't seem to be a single former pupil or teacher who find the descriptions of racism, anti-semitism & cruelty unfeasible. Shocked, I tell you...

Absolutely not! I can't think of one benefit, not one.

The 50 wealthiest families own more wealth than the bottom 50% of the population.

How can this Labour Government say this is a "cost of living" budget and refuse to tax the rich?

They care about protecting power and wealth. And cost of living is a buzz phrase for them. Dire.

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics.

It is the root of our dysfunction.
