I never have the foggiest idea what I should write in this bit so let’s just say it, and I, are a work in progress.

One from the archives: "A video of Nigel Farage shows him saying that as an MEP he could earn as much as a Goldman Sachs banker through claiming expenses and employing his wife" (which he did) When Farage talks about how much he's supposedly sacrificed financially by going into politics...

Nigel Farage claims in video MEPs can earn like a Goldman Sachs banker

In footage from 1999 or 2000, the Ukip leader is heard criticising the MEP expense system as 'wrong' and 'monstrous'

It was inevitable, wasn't it🙄 Of course the Telegraph would run with something like this👇 So let's remove some of the rose-tinted spectacles and also look at some of that data comparing 1976 with modern heat waves Because the 1976 nostalgia porn is wearing a bit thin at this stage 🧵1/23

Telegraph headiline:

"Heatwave hysterics wouldn't have lasted a day in 1976", overlaid with a bold “MONK DEBUNKED” stamp.

We didn't just find his videos - we also found Farage's outtakes, which show when his money-making sideline is interrupted by a text message or phone call, requiring him to re-record the video, he appears quick to anger.

Oh boy! What a headline... Ask yourself: "What am I being asked to believe?" "Who am I being told to blame?" Take a few seconds to imagine what the Daily Mail (And Telegraph, GB News and Express) WANT you to think is going on. Let's see what's ACTUALLY happening...🧵 1/21

Daily Mail Headline:

Pupils' drawings could be blasphemous under Islamic law, Labour councils tell schools - while music and dance classes may go against the teachings of Islam
