Nigel Farage has earned over £1.48 million in addition to his MP salary since entering Parliament last year. Media work, brand ambassador roles, and social media influencing. Hundreds of hours of paid work. MPs are elected to represent their constituents. Parliament shouldn't be a side hustle.

Police are investigating allegations that Nigel Farage spent up to £9,000 over the £20,660 legal election spending limit in his Clacton constituency. Has he gone into hiding? 🫣

An independent investigation into foreign interference is welcome, but it can’t stop there. We need real safeguards and oversight against all money corrupting our politics.

Seems Farage is playing hide and seek 🫣 Always loud on TV. Suprisingly quiet when the heats on him.

🚨 BREAKING: An urgent review has been launched into foreign financial interference in UK politics. 🇷🇺 After former Brexit Party figure Nathan Gill was jailed for taking pro-Russian bribes, we need answers on how much foreign money is still shaping our politics.

Elon Musk’s X has paid over £25,000 directly to three Reform UK MPs, who have declared hundreds of hours producing right-wing content on the platform. MPs are elected to represent their constituents, not to personally profit as social media influencers for a company owned by a far-right billionaire

“The gap between Farage as an extremist aberration and mainstream politics is closing. Tories, Labour and Reform engage in a deportation numbers bidding war. Against that backdrop, Farage’s actions land in a more hospitable climate, where he's at one end of a continuum, rather than an outlier."

Names alone don’t reveal who is bankrolling power. Under current rules, donors with common names can remain effectively anonymous. We need far stronger donor transparency, regardless of party, so politics can’t be bought behind closed doors.

Is politics about public service for Farage, or cashing in?

If your instinct when criticised is to silence the person speaking, you’re not defending your reputation, you’re proving their point. Leadership means facing scrutiny, not suppressing it. Opposition is healthy for a democracy, not a nuisance.

Hardly a people's revolt 🫠

Three men. 75% of Reform UK’s donations. That’s £23m of £30m since 2019. This is how politics gets bought. We need a cap on political donations in the next Elections Bill. Democracy shouldn’t be for sale.

11 Holocaust survivors have called on Farage to apologise. They reject “banter” as an excuse. When survivors say “we’ve seen where words lead”, the point isn’t partisan. It’s a warning about normalisation, minimisation, and public standards.

“The danger isn’t just what today’s ministers intend, but what tomorrow’s might inherit and exploit.”

Devolution should mean more democracy, not slower democracy. If the government wants legitimacy, the cleanest route is vote, then build.

Farage’s party has been handed £9 million. That’s not anti-establishment. It's politics for sale to the highest bidder. Billionaires bankroll parties to bend the rules. Tax cuts, weaker worker rights, and culture-wars so it slips through unnoticed. It shouldn't be this easy to purchase influence.

Tyranny doesn’t arrive fully formed. It’s planted. Then watered through “exceptions”, “emergencies”, and "only temporary". Jury trial isn't a a nuisance to be bypassed. It's a safeguard to be protected.

Disgusting comments as a schoolboy can be confronted and owned with a real apology. But a lifetime of bigotry, and the company he keeps, tells a story Nigel Farage can’t outrun.

Farage’s racism shouldn’t surprise us. It follows a long pattern, and the danger is pretending it doesn’t.

Who does Farage work for? 👀

Top Farage ally jailed for taking pro-Russia bribes. Now another, David Coburn, appears in leaked WhatsApps linked to a suspected Russian influence effort. Coburn denies wrongdoing, but it highlights a pattern of foreign interference around the far-right, and why scrutiny matter more than ever.

If you like books that go behind the scenes of political organising, The People’s Primary is a fascinating read! Anthea’s been at the heart of efforts to bring people together across party lines, and the book tells the story of how people can build real influence from the ground up.

Another top Farage ally under fire with allegations of corruption 👀🔥

Our democracy is designed for a world that no longer exists. It promotes division and fuels anger. People feel ignored. They don't get what they need. Instead of solutions, we get scapegoats. Because that’s easier than fixing the broken system. Change starts with a functioning democracy.

People aren't turning to the far-right because of immigration. They feel let down and left behind. The rich are getting richer, while their voices aren't being heard and life is getting harder.

People have a right to feel frustrated. But Nigel Farage is turning it into anger and division. He's directing it away from the wealthy and toward the vulnerable. Who benefits? Him and his donors.

🇷🇺🤑 Nigel Farage's closest ally is due to be sentenced today after admitting to taking bribes from Russia. "Nathan Gill, an honest, decent, and honourable man, who has been loyal to me at all times."

What's the strategy, Keir? 🤨

Teamwork.

Reform UK’s rise is driven by unfairness. Bills up. Wages flat. Services crumbling. Politicians repeat the old lie: blame immigration. It’s not a solution. Division solves nothing. Inequality and broken trust won’t fix themselves. So the cycle continues, until the real issues are solved.

Where does it end?

When Tommy Robinson is on your side, you’re standing in the wrong place. He knows he's being handed a win. They're letting him drag the country closer and closer to his extreme.

Hands up who's surprised

If Farage loves your asylum plan, that’s a red flag 🚩 Human rights protections are being weakened, while Tommy Robinson is celebrating. Refugees aren’t dividing Britain. Politicians chasing far-right approval are.

People don’t start angry. They get there when they don't feel heard.

Trump’s superpower isn’t confidence. It’s shamelessness. "To confront Trump is to enter a battlefield that isn’t level. He can say what he likes — his opponents have to be flawless."

"The public have highly-tuned bullshit detectors, and they can smell it a mile off. Authenticity isn’t about photo ops. It’s about conviction.” Find out why the public’s bullshit detector is stronger than ever and how politicians keep failing it: https://bit.ly/3LZMmgS @mattmgallagher.bsky.social

“Reform UK offers a narrative of rebellion – a way to vocalise frustration, even if its targets are misplaced.” That frustration is real. But people are rebelling against a system that doesn’t listen, not each other. Change the system and the anger fades, leaving space to fix what really matters.

Most Reform UK supporters aren’t driven by hate. They're worried. Bills are up, wages flat, services collapsing. When life feels rigged, anger is easy to sell. Anger isn’t a fix, and immigration isn’t the cause. The real answer is a democracy that delivers. People need solutions, not scapegoats.

Love it or loath it, an independent news broadcaster like the BBC plays an important role in our democracy. Trump and Farage want to destroy it. That should worry us all.

Nigel Farage once championed Proportional Representation. But when was the last time he spoke up for it? His silence speaks volumes. He knows that when every voice is heard fairly, he loses.

🚨 NEW POLL PUTS GREENS IN SECOND, WITH LABOUR FOURTH 🚨 Our voting system is no longer fit for today's politics. In an election, this sort of result would likely hand Reform UK a majority and shut tens of millions of voices out. We need a proportional voting system to ensure every voice is heard.

Who does Nigel Farage really work for? Not Clacton, he’s never there and hardly uses his vote. But the thought of ANY MP taking a call from a foreign leader to act on their behalf is beyond belief. This man is finding new depths every day.

Why can't the BBC just be more impartial towards President Trump, like GB News, says Nigel Farage. GB News:

Farage and his party aren’t restoring trust in politics. They’re exploiting it for their own gain 🤥

The far-right are telling us to turn on each other, all while lining their own pockets. It’s a dangerous distraction game, stoking hate and division.

Cost of living isn’t just economics, it’s who gets heard. This is a practical case for hope with receipts: stable energy, steadier rents, fair pay, services that quietly work. 👇 Read more 👇 https://uglypolitix.substack.com/p/the-price-of-powerlessness

Money in politics go together like lobbyists and long lunches 🤑
