Farage shouldn’t be able to control the media in this way, promoting himself when he wants to and running away when’s he’s in the shit. Stop letting him call the shots. Empty chair him. End the interview if he lies/wont answer. Refuse to be his propagandists. www.independent.co.uk/voices/nigel...
Where on earth is Nigel Farage? Never normally shy of the media spotlight, the attention-loving leader of Reform UK has seemingly gone to ground in the last couple of weeks. That's two Prime Minister's Questions in a row that he's missed... 
News presenters are also complaining that, despite multiple requests, they can get no Reform front-bench spokesperson on their programmes, let alone Farage himself.
Apart from popping up on social media to offer to buy the white van man who heckled Rachel Reeves a pint, we have heard very little from the party leader we might otherwise expect to be loudly celebrating his local election successes.Nigel Farage hard at work in his Clacton constituency (Getty)
Just the fact that a £5m gift would have never come to public attention had it not been for journalistic investigation would be enough to bring down some MPs. But Farage initially tried his usual tactic of styling it out, in the hope that it would make little difference to those members of the public who are already inclined to vote for him.

If we really are to root out the evil of anti-semitism in British politics then one of our first steps must be to condemn the systematic use of anti-semitic tropes by Nigel Farage and his fellow travellers on the right www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/nigel-fara...

Pro-Reform media outlets are trying to pin allegations of anti-semitism against Britain's only Jewish political party leader, whilst largely ignoring the Reform leader's own behaviour

You pay NI which goes towards funding things like the NHS, but legally there is no link. So Reform UK can cancel your NHS access and force people to pay Health Insurance if they want treatment, without cutting your taxes one bit. Which is exactly what they will do.

In February, the London Assembly Conservatives literally complained the Green budget amendment was woke. We just called for pedestrian crossings to be installed at junctions on main roads with signals for motor traffic (to go in every direction), but no phase for people to cross the road safely.
