What? Has Keir Starmer been involved in torching cars and homes? Not really, they were torching his property. Is the phrasing deliberately misleading? You betcha.

Where’s Farage? He’s not been seen in Parliament for weeks, doesn’t hold constituency surgeries, cancels big TV interviews last minute & hasn’t been campaigning in Makerfield. Oh look, there he is!! Popping up to spread more racism & use the tragic death of a young man to draw attention to himself.

The Sun knows all the leaisure boat people are indigenous. Because non-Brits would not ever step onto a dinghy again, presumably.
An article in the Sun newspaper showing several boats filled with people trying to cool themselves in the heat. The paper alleges they are all “Brits” as non-Brits only come in boats from France, and would thus presumably never be seen in one again.

Compare and contrast. Absentee MP -v- his constituency. Greedy grifting spiv -v- most deprived English neighbourhood. He really couldn’t give a shit. He feeds off the inequality and anger to line his own pockets. He doesn’t want solutions because the problems are his income stream. (iPaper & BBC)
Jaywick named most deprived area - again

A seaside neighbourhood in Essex, part of the parliamentary constituency represented by Reform UK leader Nigel Farage, has once again been named the most deprived in England.
The latest official data showed that an area of the coastal village of Jaywick, close to the town of Clac-ton-on-Sea in the local authority of Tendring, has been classed the most deprived neighbourhood for the fourth time.
Areas of Blackpool again make up most of the rest of the top 10, along with new appearances for neighbour-hoods in Hastings and Rotherham.

Yesterday's data, published by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG), presented relative levels of deprivation in areas or neighbourhoods of England in 2025.
The data highlighted "the scale of the challenge" but does not "reflect the progress made since 2019 or the strength of the people who call Jay-wick Sands home"
, the Tendring
District Council website said.
MHCLG said Middlesbrough, Birmingham, Hartlepool, Kingston upon Hull and Manchester had the highest proportions of neighbour-hoods among the most deprived in England.Farage earns more than £1m a year for non-MP work

Nigel Farage has revealed he is earning well over a £1m a year from work he does outside parliament, in addition to his job as an MP.
It is thought his outside income is significantly higher than that of any other member of parliament.
