My money is this being something that never happened, but they think it makes a great social media post - prove me wrong?

Well, he employed her as an EU parliamentary aid once she hung up her apron, and Nige knows a gravy train when he finds one…and he’s claimed she’s from a successful French family, perhaps an offshoot of the Italian Ferraris???

Are there any reform ‘politicians’ who haven’t been arrested? Surely a background of violence or fraud is a must for membership?

Conversation overheard in Notts….”I was born in America so I don’t have a vote in UK, but if I did I’d vote for Farage or Corbyn because they really understand people’s problems…I voted Trump this time…I’d have voted Biden but I couldn’t vote for a woman, especially not that woman” unpick that lot!

Given this relates to the health of our monarch I expect it to be the main headline on every news bulletin for the next few days - but it won’t be as it shows farages lot as complete morons www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

When are you going to report on Farage admitting he lied re his house in Clacton? Asking for a country you are misleading…and whilst you are at it, investigate his other lies - that’s what we pay for

I can’t believe how the BBC are platforming this rabble - and constructing headlines that don’t show the true picture but allow the casual reader to believe that everything farage says is gospel, rather than an outright lie

I drooled over that car…I always thought I’d have one, though as I was c10 at the time and my dad drove a variety of cortina’s (and a maxi at one point) I was never likely to get behind the wheel of such an exotic vehicle

Keynes was a staunch believer in capitalism who earned, lost and earned again large sums on the stock market throughout his life. However he was acutely aware that markets can fail, and of the need for intervention and regulation
