Fake passports. A money laundering conviction. A mystery casino fortune in Montenegro... There's yet more revelations about who Farage chooses to surround himself with. Let’s start with George Cottrell. A man Farage describes as "like a son," and his former chief of staff 👇

What the actual hell is this???? Do AmericanS really have to put up with this shit in the middle of actual sports event. I WANNA WATCH THE FOOTBALL!!!!! 🙄🙄🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

I've just contacted a company and their rep has replied with an email which looks very much like an AI rehash: 'I understand that you want *lists my request*', 'I'd like to find out more about your *exact wording of application*' etc. Should I be annoyed? Or keep going until I talk to a human?

I have some sympathy for Kier Starmer. Elected to be boring after the chaos of Johnson/Truss wrecked the Tories, his boringness ended up being his downfall. Yes he made mistakes, but I feel his blandness did for him as he couldn't sieze the narrative. He leaves the UK better than when he took over.
