What a rascal! Leaning on his personal assistant to fabricate evidence to help him win libel damages. Perjuring himself. Breaking a promise to pay the money to charity. Having his counsel accuse the assistant of fraud over her personal expenses at the perjury trial. Lovely guy. Fit to legislate.

I don’t understand this “very British/very English” framing. According to the Today programme it was “very English” that a member of the public called the police on seeing something dodgy. I’d no idea this is a specifically English thing. Perhaps we can encourage other countries to adopt this idea?

In reality, the gathering in Cardiff was mild-mannered, and a fairly innocuous assertion of some basic tenets of democracy, but it has unleashed howls of outrage from a political / media class unused to recalcitrant Jocks and their Celtic Cousins acting with a modicum of agency. The Anglo-Normative construct of our entire political landscape has such a hegemony that when it's disrupted, even briefly, it causes a complete meltdown.

Farage, a man who was doing Cameo videos for £70 a pop as late as March 2026, apparently turned up to a meeting to discuss a half-million donation and "wasn't really listening". What utter contempt he has for the very democracy, country, and people that he claims to love.

Farage washing his hands of this mess by claiming he simply wasn’t listening. For someone who claims to know electoral law “better than anyone”, he’s recently been embroiled in several investigations into Reform’s donations. Can that truly be down to carelessness?
