Farage is meant to be an “enough of this” vote, a rejection of normal politics, just as “Leave” was. It’s a destructive impulse. Nobody expects him to really fix stuff, but it expresses a voter’s disgust with the other options. Him v Binface reveals they’re both the same. It’s really funny.

I once attacked Nigel Farage by giving him a small acting note (he was in a Harry & Paul sketch I produced). Feel bad now I know he's the most attacked politician ever. He did look wounded.

“I am the most verbally and physically attacked public figure or politician of modern times.” The disgraceful Nigel Farage. Remembering Labour MP Jo Cox, born 1974, murdered 2016.

Farage says that in London men can't wear watches and women can't wear jewellery. Just checking: can women wear watches though? I need to keep an eye on the time when I'm stealing men's jewellery.

I'm loving this Bluesky joke where we all pretend we were at Taylor and Travis's wedding. Extra funny for me because I actually was there! I kept two of these cute clips we got given so we didn't get our wine glasses muddled up.

Musk, Jenrick, Robinson, Farage, the whole of them, know what they are doing. This is Stochastic terrorism. They are constructing a monolithic other to generate fear and anger for electoral gain. Those talking of 'legitimate concerns' are normalising their framing and helping them. It's that simple.

No one, absolutely no one, is saying that white lives don't matter. I know this is obvious, particularly to a Bluesky audience, but in a world of infuriating straw-manning, it bears repeating.
