I get sent plenty of jokes about him but haven’t seen enough about what he does. Labour have found that chasing far right doesn’t work.

Iceland is not in the EU, but it is a member of the Schengen area. It’s also a member of the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) and is part of the Single Market, meaning it enjoys freedom of movement with the EU. Good to know that doesn’t impact their independence. Maybe we should try it, Nige.

Congratulations to Iceland on voting to keep their independence.

I’m still very angry. It has affected my family in a lot of ways. Many people I know feel the same and many who voted for it tell me they regret it. Many times I have heard I wish I had understood the issues

None of these tax dodging, foreign-based crypto billionaires and moneymen give a single shit about our country or democracy. They’re buying Farage power so he’ll remove our rights and protections to maximise their profits. It really is that simple and that corrupt. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Reform UK handed another £3million from crypto billionaire as donations soar

Figures from the Electoral Commission show Nigel Farage's party is raising millions more than their political rivals through private donations, including £3million from Christopher Harborne

61% of all political donations in the last quarter came from just 14 people Reform took in £9.3m from a handful of super rich donors British democracy is being bought. We urgently need action to take the money out of our politics

Zia Yusuf styles himself as "Shadow Home Secretary". Farage makes an "emergency address to the nation", as if everyone cares. Add Tice and Jenrick, and the sheer vanity, pomposity and delusion amongst Reform's leaders is off the scale.

Just remember. Farage isn’t really winning. He’s having power bought for him by foreign-based crypto billionaires and fossil fuel magnates. They want a corrupt PM who’ll sell off our NHS, bin NetZero and scrap our rights and protections to make more profit for them. Good day for moneymen and morons.

Strongly disagree with Nelson on his claim that Farage offers “*genuine* hope to people who feel betrayed by the established parties” As with Brexit, it’s hope built on lies and prejudice, funded by corrupt power-brokers who offer nothing but cost and loss to ordinary people. The ultimate betrayal.

Extract:

How did Nigel Farage manage to rustle up £215,000 to invest in Kwasi Kwarteng’s crypto company?
….

Nine years ago, aged 53, he declared himself “skint” because “there’s no money in politics”.

Only two years ago he was telling friends that he could not afford to run in the coming election. Then suddenly, his fortunes seemed to change — and change utterly. How? The likely explanation emerged this week: he was given £5 million by Christopher Harborne, a Thailandbased crypto billionaire and Reform UK donor. The money, Farage says, was a personal gift — so, not disclosable. It was to pay for bodyguards, he said, making him “safe and secure for the rest of my life”. But such protection costs are, at most, £300,000 a year. Farage was given a lifetime of financial security, clearing the way for his return to the political arena. Albeit with a lifelong feeling of debt to Harborne, who sits in a web of interlocking global financial interests.
….

Harborne says he wants nothing in return for his donations. Perhaps.

But it just so happens that Farage proposes a new “Big Bang” that could add tens of billions to crypto companies’ market value. A Reform government would order HM Treasury to stop work on its own digital currency apparatus, which could threaten the current crypto elite. The Bank of England would instead be told to hold Bitcoin, elevating it from a cowboy currency to a UK-approved official asset class.

Tax on crypto trades — and only crypto trades — would be cut from 24 to 10 per cent.

All this would greatly help Tether, a crypto giant in which Harborne holds a 12 per cent stake. Farage says the company is worth $500 billion. If he’s right, then Harborne could afford to give away £5 million a day, each day, for the next two years and barely eat into 1 per cent of his fortune. By the standards of UK politics, Harborne’s donations are enormous: no living man has ever given as much to any party.

The corruption is staggering. In plain sight. Barely mentioned by mainstream media. As Reform dominates the polls and the airwaves, no one really seems capable or willing to scrutinise this deeply murky and frenziedly greedy operation. No one holds Farage to account as he deceives voters again.
