Not quite “no-one” as @rory-stewart.bsky.social spelled out in his memoir “Politics On The Edge”. He wasn’t alone. Yet the Tories still promoted her.

So inured is BBC News to referencing any single thing with a negative connotation to Farage, it completely overlooks the fact his crypto-billionaire funder Christopher Harborne sits sixth, with a grubby £18.1bn. Plenty more where that £5m came from, clearly. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Doesn't pay any tax in the UK because he ran away to the Tax Haven Singapore to escape the effects of the Brexit he helped create. Then he bought up hundred of millions of pounds of farmland to avoid tax, then cried when it was made taxable. James Dyson is a scumbag.

Bloody hell! 😮😮 I hope those who think #Reform are 'anti-establishment' (yeah, right, they’re as much the establishment as #Labour & #Tories) & believe they can bring change to the country are now realising they’re just #FarRight extremists & #racists who offer nothing but hate, austerity & misery.

Fourteen-jobs Farage has no time for his constituents. He barely attends parliament and has never held a single surgery in Clacton with people who elected him. Whose interests does he serve?

People listened to Farage over Brexit. Then complained that they couldn't travel freely, that they had to pay extra for European goods, etc. It baffles me that people seem to be following Farage again, and expecting good things. Once bitten...

Farage's Welsh UKIP leader is in prison for being a traitor. His Reform treasurer is in the Epstein files, as is Farage due to his close links to Bannon. No outrage from the RW press. We need misinformation laws, to stop foreign ownership of the press & ownership by people living in tax havens.

This is why I've taken to ignoring British msm and 'journalists'. They created the narrative around Starmer and the Labour govt. Just look at the state of BBC political 'news' reporting, trash of the highest order. If they'd been on side Labour wouldn't be struggling. Self-fulfilling propaganda

The Times calls Keir Starmer's decision to hire Peter Mandelson an "egregious error" which deserves an "inquiry into the appointment process." Not included is any demand for an inquiry into their own appointment of him, long after his post-conviction relationship with Jeffrey Epstein was exposed
