Farage not being an MP is only part of the story. Even if he were one, why TF should he be invited to talks about social care? He’s only ever peddled Brexit and racist, mass deportation policies that grenade our economy and limit resources for the NHS. His councils are a joke. He offers nothing.

So the UK media spend months trashing (rightfully) the reputation and credibility of Mandelson. Now they spend all their time giving credence to the views and messages of that same person. Why the contradiction? Because they want to manufacture more gossip and titbits on Starmer. Simply pathetic.

Nigel Farage is NOT a hypocrite. He is there to make women feel safe & to protect these women, their daughters & granddaughters from anti social behaviour. Behaviour such as shouting abuse from a van. After all Rachel Reeves is not a woman…no…she’s erm…a Labour politician.🤔

Anything you’d like to say, Richard?
Angela Rayner cleared by
HMRC over tax affairs paving the way for potential leadership bidWhen Angela Rayner, the former deputy prime minister, failed to pay stamp duty on the purchase of a second home, Tice said her position was "morally completely indefensible" and that she would resign if she had
"any moral decency".Richard Tice's firm broke law by failing to pay
£91,000 taxes
The deputy leader of Reform UK owns a property investment company that did not pay tax on dividends before sending profits to a trust registered in JerseyThe total tax Tice's companies are known to have avoided through onshore and offshore entities, or failed to pay, in relation to Quidnet now amounts to almost £800,000.

Delo is the latest cryptocurrency billionaire to put his money behind Reform.

Christopher Harborne, a Thai-based businessman and one of the largest shareholders in Tether, has given more than £20 million, including £12 million in the last year
- and reportedly an undeclared £5 m to Farage personally ahead of the 2024 general election.

Like Trump, Farage has become a vocal supporter of cryptocurrency. The Reform leader has batted aside warnings from financial crime experts that crypto can be used to facilitate money laundering and illicit activity and said he was considering legal action over Labour's introduction of a moratorium on
crypto donations.

REFORM IRONYOMETER
BLOWS UP
by Our Reform Staff in Clacton-on-Sea, Jack Union And George Saint

THERE were fears of a tsunami threatening the coast of Essex as the local ironyometer, hidden underneath the helter-skelter on Clacton pier, started to shake.

The ironyometer was built to monitor the extreme irony of Nigel Farage being the sitting MP for a town he has never visited.

The paradoxical measuring machine began to oscillate dramatically when the leader of Reform attacked the Labour Party, lambasting their vetting process which allowed Peter Mandelson to be appointed.
 
This was despite the fact that Reform's own candidate vetting process is a lamentable shambles which allows the selection of racists, misogynists and Nazis.

The vibrations intensified when the memory banks of the Ironyometer recalled the fact that Farage had actually approved of Mandelson's appointment at the time, calling him "a very intelligent man"

The conundrum logging device then emitted a loud hiss, causing seagulls to spit out their stolen chips.

A catastrophic failure then followed, with metal work exploding from the helter-skelter-based device, sending bewildered small children flying into the sea on their potato-sack mats.

This was prompted by self-styled
"Shadow Chancellor" Richard Tice refusing to resign over alleged nonpayment of £100,000 of corporation tax, despite having earlier called for Angela Rayner to quit over her own tax affairs. Nigel Farage was not available for comment because we're in Clacton.

And ffs. Billionaire Harborne directs the UK’s journey of travel from his luxury life in Thailand. He’s got his Brexit now. Next is the deregulation fantasy. Stripping us of our rights and protections so that utter wankers like him can sell their crypto and exploit their workers without comeback.
Harborne said of the donation: "I wasn't expecting anything in return apart from ensuring his safety.
"I gave him the money because of my great admiration for the decades of work he had done to achieve Brexit. He had stood down from politics and barely had any income before he went into the [I'm a Celebrity...] jungle."
