Liberal Democrat. Brexit was stupid. If trying to understand & help your fellow citizens is wrong, then I'm wrong. LUFC supporter for 60 years, I guess that's punishment enough for anyone 😏

The Telegraph today carries a news story about someone paying £7.4 million for a handbag (Hello, Lady Bracknell!). And an opinion piece describing a wealth tax as a ‘moral abomination’. What a time to be alive.

But are Reform really “making the political weather” as you, so uncritically say, Chris Mason, or are you making it for them by hyperventilating over each grubby little Tory-Reform-reshuffle, without *ever* properly scrutinising the howling failures of these deeply unpleasant, grifting clowns?

“In year since Reform party leader was elected at 8th attempt he has been largely absent from Commons votes and very present in the media” Says it all. A career piss-taker given so much airtime, but so little scrutiny, he now fancies himself as PM. Ffs UK. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
Nigel Farage
Big pay days and top of the polls:
Nigel Farage's first year as an MP
In year since Reform party leader was elected at eighth attempt he has been largely absent from Commons votes and very present in the mediaMoney
Farage is the highest paid MP of this parliament by a long way. He earned at least £970,000 from outside employment ranging from speeches to bringing in £280,000 as brand ambassador for a gold company. In April, he got a 10th job, making £25,000 (AU$52,000) as a commentator for the Rupert Murdoch-backed Sky News Australia, with the MP telling the channel that Britain was "going downhill".
The portfolio of gigs on top of his role as an
MP also includes a £4,000-a-month column for the Daily Telegraph and presenting for
GB News, which has paid him more than £330,000 since July.

I don't want to hear "we can't afford it" one more time from Labour. Not while they continue to reinforce their Brexit red lines. The amount of money being left on the table by not seeking to rejoin the EU is eye-watering. The tax lost to Brexit would have paid for everything Labour needed.
