Nigel Farage used an LBC appearance in September to accuse the Bank of England of being “dinosaurs” for seeking to place restrictions on the use of Stablecoins by crypto firms like Tether.
He did not declare that Reform had just received a £9 million donation from one of its biggest investors
Review of the BBC’s Prisoner 951 - a magnetic lead, and a very different story from the one the government told.

Good to see @dailymail.co.uk @thetimes.com and @telegraphnews.bsky.social all delete their articles - sad the lies went up in the first place
Farage: epic grifter
Nigel Farage wants to charge you for healthcare.

Nigel Farage could never be trusted to run Britain after getting Brexit so wrong'
The contact of Reform UK's Russian puppet Nathan Gill is linked to efforts to destabilise the US and Ukraine. Why is no one asking more questions?

I cannot stress this strongly enough: Support your local theatre, café, bookstore, bakery, and library. We breathe life into these places when we support them. They need us, and more importantly, we need them.
Researching the latest More Jam Tomorrow, I was struck by what an amazing thing it was for the Home Office to support prisoners who wanted to study – which was impossible before the Open University was founded.
Just the most decent and humanitarian thing to do.

Javier Milei had to beg a bail-out and already needs another. Argentina's economy is in a tailspin. Gov't bonds and peso in freefall. People starving, throwing rocks at him.
Farage last year: "He's amazing. It's Thatcherism on steroids. Cutting and slashing expenditure. That's leadership."

Interesting inflection point. Seems to come around the time faith in mainstream politics really came undone
"The PM does nothing" I hear people say.
Well here are 323 calls, meetings, statements, agreements & treaties he has done with other countries & international groups in the 13 months as PM.
It's this hard work which allows us to do better deals and repair our reputation across the world.
If you have a son and have ever spoken about needing positive masculine role models, take him to the Superman film.
There was something surprisingly cathartic about seeing a hero be unironically heroic.
A really interesting story that I am sure will inspire many older people to make the most of their ‘third age’. Your photographs are stunning! Thank for so much for giving us the chance to see our wonderful wildlife close-up in its natural habitat.

Daniel Hannan: Britain is turning into a Third World country
hey quick question, but which party was in government from 2010 to 2024, you fucking charlatan
1. Michelle Mone in Court being sued for £122m unusable PPE plus storage plus interest 2. Sickle cell patients to get better treatment after £9m boost 3. £500m boost for hydrogen to create thousands of British jobs 4.

Been a full on week for Labour. I’ve gathered just a few highlights. Most important in my view, is Mone. Being held accountable for her failed PPE supply. I hope we get our money back. Daylight robbery under Labour does not pay
A pleasure to chat anti-corruption on the way in to Parliament this morning.
We urgently need to tighten up how our politics is financed.

❌Stronger enforcement
💷Proper checks on donors
🧑💼A regulator completely independent of government

Is the BBC giving too much airtime to Reform UK? With me in the studio to discuss this are Nigel Farage, Richard Tice, Lee Anderson and Sarah Pochin.
New border checks on fruit and vegetables imported from the EU were due to come into force on 1st of July - resulting in more paperwork, delays at the board and likely higher prices.
Thanks to the new UK-EU deal these checks have now been scrapped.

Absolutely insane that it takes a fictional drama set on other planets to say what the news bulletins won't, or daren't.
Nigel Farage still insisting that he has "never ever, ever suggested anything other than the NHS should be free".
Here's what he's said in the past behind closed doors
I see the MSM pundits are predicting a Labour wipe out in the locals on 1st May. Yet many polls still have Reform trailing Labour (not all). Given few people vote in the locals there are two ways forward
1. Get off your arse and vote
2. Let Reform win and watch what happens
