Nigel Farage's Long History of Crying ‘Fraud’ Whenever His Party Loses Elections
The Reform UK leader has a long record of blaming his own party's election defeats on "cheating" by ethnic minorities, yet no evidence of it can ever be found

Disturbing… Nigel Farage’s Reform UK Party has opened the floodgates to dark money in our politics by becoming the first UK party to accept untraceable crypto donations, and now he’s accepted the biggest political donation in UK history - £9 million - from a cryptocurrency investor. 38d.gs/vzgv

I'm only half-joking when I say that maybe this is the way to tackle older Faragist men: Get a smart attractive younger woman to listen to them and then charmingly point out why they're wrong.

It would be a thousand times better for Labour and for Britain if the national debate were about whether to rejoin the EU or not, rather than how hard to punch down at immigrants. Instead, Labour chose to propagate Farage's argument for him by accepting it had SOME validity and trying to nuance it.

It’s continues to be despicable how the media has spent a decade normalizing the orange felon so much so that they are reporting on his authoritarian militarization of Washington DC as if it were a routine military exercise. They deliberately failed democracy for clickbait.

Labour’s reluctance to name Brexit as the cause of so many problems hasn’t stopped Reform’s rise. It’s time to try the truth, says Guardian columnist Rafael Behr
