Nigel Farage just took a question from a 'journalist' at his press conference, who turned out to be his former chief adviser Raheem Kassam, who asks him why the media are being so unfair to him

Dear American friends, it seems that unless the nuclear option is deployed, the US is not a threat to any nation anymore. It is obvious that unless the war is "legal" you simply do not have the logistics in place to maintain a war effort. I would appreciate dialogue.

Hard to keep track of the number of times he's declared victory in his illegal war-of-choice. #86-47

Important, because Farage's defence for not declaring Harborne's ยฃ5m 'gift' has always been very specific: he did not decide to stand until 3rd of June. Turns out this deal was struck mid-May (confirmed by RefUK) and facilitated by Farage's other big donor, convicted felon 'Posh' George Cotrell. ๐Ÿง

Nigel Farage struck Reform comeback deal long before election

Nigel Farage struck a secret deal to return as leader of Reform UK months before the general election.
Farage negotiated the pact with Richard Tice, then the leader, in March and April 2024. George Cottrell, the convicted fraudster who had been secretly bankrolling Farage, supervised the discussions.
Under the terms of the deal, once Farage became leader Reform would repay or write off more than ยฃ1 million in outstanding loans it had received from Tice's company.
The deal was first presented by Farage and Cottrell to the party's treasurer in mid-May. Its existence undermines the Reform leader's claim that he had no intention until June 2024 of returning to politics. Farage has used this to defend his failure to declare donations made to him in the year before he was elected as an MP, which triggered two parliamentary investigations.

Just loving how John Cleese, now reduced to one of his own caricatures, rages about immigrants coming to the UK and failing to accept "our" culture, from his home in ... (checks notes) ... Nevis in the Caribbean.

Over their 14 year rule, the Tories added a net 36 prison places per year. Sunak had to release over 10,000 prisoners early to cope with the crisis the Tories created. Since 2024, Labour have built 2,900 new places. But still the far right blame Labour for the Tory legacy.

Oh fuck off. Funding for everything is inadequate!! Schools, NHS, public transport, infrastructure investment, public sector pay, road maintenance, mental health provision, social care etc etc Itโ€™s all bloody inadequate thanks, in large part, to YOUR Brexit costing the country ยฃ100bn a year.

Farage refused taxpayer-funded security because it was โ€˜inadequateโ€™

Reform UK decided to continue providing its own protection for Nigel Farage, rather than โ€˜gamble with his lifeโ€™, a spokesperson said
