@iandunt.bsky.social I faced this argument 40 years ago when I was a fairly new, active Labour Party member. TBH I didn’t really understand it then, I still find it confusing now so am interested to listen to your podcast.

@iandunt.bsky.social Alternatively, the pension tax relief given to the highest-earning people in this country, at rates above the basic level of income tax, costs at least £15bn a year – vastly more than costs attributed to the triple lock.

Kudos to the Guardian for this description

Who’s leading them?
Its leader is Daniel Thomas, better known as Danny Tommo, the right-hand-man of the far-right extremist, fraudster and violent criminal Stephen Yaxley-Lennon – who wants people to call him Tommy Robinson.

So, if I understand Nigel Farage's argument correctly it is: "Everyone I trusted and elevated into a position of responsibility is constantly doing crimes that benefit me but of which I somehow have no knowledge. I am a man with the character, judgement, and intelligence to run the country." Ok.
