The MP for Dubai talks through his back passage.

Unadulterated drivel

I'll be sticking with the golf & football tonight. The BBC Makerfield by-election coverage is anchored by Laura Kuenssberg who will be revealing the result before the formal declaration & Chris Mason who is embedded with the Reform candidate in the Constituency

And here it is. For all the whining about condescension & belittling the poorly educated, nobody - and I mean nobody - holds Nigel Farage’s base in more profound contempt than Nigel Farage.

If I'm honest, I lost interest in the World Cup in 2022, after my team were banned for invading Ukraine.

Still time to vote for the "pub talk" party whose candidate called mums "fat bellies in PJs" and endorsed rape threats against a TV presenter. "Pub talk" is just misogyny when you're trying to be an MP. Not today @Nigel_Farage. 🗳️

This is going to be the standard excuse, isn't. ... "That's not me being a racist plonker, it's AI generated."

They are claiming it is Ai generated now it's blown up in their faces. BS! It is real. This is exactly who reform are.

Outstanding work AGAIN

All this comes amid mounting scrutiny of Farage's finances - including the undisclosed £5m from crypto tycoon Christopher Harborne, now under investigation by the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards. Read full story and support Democracy for Sale: democracyforsale.substack.com/p/revealed-n...

Also found that in January, Farage's private company changed its registered address from Essex to 49 Upper Brook Street in London. That's the home of Candy Capital - the family office of Nick Candy, Reform's own fundraiser and donor.

Failure to file a confirmation statement or verify directors' identities is a criminal offence. Asked about the breaches, a Reform spokesperson told us: "This is being rectified immediately."

🔴 SCOOP: Farage doesn't seem to want to answer questions about his money. So I went looking - and found that the Reform leader's personal company is in breach of UK company law democracyforsale.substack.com/p/revealed-n...

Farage uses Thorn in the Side Ltd to collect his second-job earnings, including £700,000+ from GB News since he became an MP in 2024 He's the sole director. And the company - which has almost £2m in cash - has missed its May 25 deadline to file a confirmation statement or verify his identity

You were in power for 14 years and cut defence spending in both absolute terms, and as a % of GDP. So get in the fucking sea, you gimlet-eyed plum.

13 Farage rioters in Southampton sentenced to jail so far www.cps.gov.uk/wessex/news/...

I just watched trump rant and rave about elections and tv channels the man is a raving lunatic 25th amendment should be implemented immediately he is bloody bonkers

More lying shit about elections from the orange felon demented rapist

People have to stand up and be counted in opposing all the filth coming out of this president’s lying mouth

Tackle the real problem - the social media giants that act as they please. And in the meantime get off X along with the rest of the government

That last point is a big stinky stain on all British organizations that stay on X. ELON HATES THE UK! He wants riots. He wants race wars. He wants to throw out British electoral results… he is an enemy of our nation, and he uses the finances of a small nation to attack us! GET 🇬🇧 SITES OFF X!

Nigel Farage Listens to the News

2/2 It's a pity that there aren't more active Swift people on Bluesky...

Just some of the over 700.000 artefacts found during the building of the Amsterdam metro. This superb website has catalogued about 20.000 of them, such a delight to go through: belowthesurface.amsterdam You can also see some of them in person at Rokin station.

Plucky plumber latest...

Um, when I said I'm not gonna post about the news any more, I didn't mean I'm not going to post at all. I have exciting plans! 😉 Well, actually,, no I don't. I'll just see what happens and post about what feels important, or worthwhile, or a bit bonkers. Or simply makes the world a better place!

I'm not going to post about politics etc any more. I've been so poorly this past year; & realised that closely following the news was keeping me ill & depleted. So I decided to focus on making the world a better place, with all the skills & love that I have. And guess what? Healing is happening...

New Reform councillors off to a great start by refusing to vote on anything because they haven't a clue what anything means, how anything works or what the fuck they are doing. Vote Reform, get lazy, incompetent, ignorant morons.

Something remarkable and magnificent about the continuety and determination of these #GeorgiaProtests

holy goddamn shit www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Why are these Raise the Colours thugs allowed to behave on British streets like this with impunity, harassing and attacking locals like this? Almost a year of this! Oxfordshire banned them from spreading their flag measles. High time Birmingham followed suit. It's just monetised racist thuggery

When I was a student at UT, I registered voters for Obama’s 2008 campaign — a campaign of hope. President Obama just showed up at UT and told young Texans: “Now you have the chance to join a campaign of hope.” Sign up today: jamestalarico.com/join

Farage is deeply paranoid about his own safety, while seemingly having no regard for that of others

I would suggest that said journalist is now considerably more at risk than Farage is. And more - that this will impact on the safety of any press photographer for example, covering the march in London tomorrow.
