So today, £5million-giftboy, Farage bins his planned appearance on
#bbclaurak
But as soon as he wants scrutiny-free attention, he’ll be back. How dare he use the media when it suits him and shun it when it doesn’t. No one wanting power should have that kind of control over their own accountability.

“£240 Billion of income that has disappeared” So far… And Farage wants to scrap Labour’s reset, scrap the Brexit deal altogether in fact… and go to a leave-the-ECHR-no-deal Brexit. Has the country completely lost its mind? When will this idiocy stop? Prejudice as policy is ruinous.

Konstantin Kisin continues to lie about what he said about Rishi Sunak. He said Sunak could not be English because he is brown and Hindu. Kisin saying he regards him as British, and not English, is *obvs* saying he can't be English because of ethnicity and faith.

“That’s why Reform’s fossil-fuel funded politicians are so opposed to climate science and… Net Zero… Not because Net Zero is an economic failure but because its success will hit their donors’ profits” Farage: Never acts in the national interest. Only ever his own.

This is an extraordinary saga that Sunder is pursuing indefatigably. The BBC has repeatedly tried to excuse itself from responsibility for allowing Nigel Farage to lie egregiously about immigration without challenge. It is illustrative of a much wider malaise & so very important. Thank you, Sunder.

Private Eye on the recent hissy fit Farage had when YouGov published polling results that show he isn’t as popular as he thinks he is… “He's a thin-skinned, corrupt demagogue whose party has dodgy Russian links and most true British patriots would rather chop their hand off than vote for him” Yes!

“Rarely has a British political party unveiled a programme that combines cruelty with impracticality on such an extravagant scale.” Chilling on Reform’s increasingly confident fascism. High on viciousness and greed. Very low on wisdom. A ruinous combination.

If the Brexit years really were behind us, Reform would no longer be a threat, there’d be no talk of leaving the ECHR, no Brexit peerages or whining about ‘Brexit betrayal’. Instead, there’d be accountability and an electoral price to pay for the damage done. A ruthless reality check. No prisoners.

I like the government pivot to reminding voters that Farage is an avowed enemy of NATO & Europe & an ardent admirer of Vladimir Putin, who routinely orders the murders of critics & opponents. It is politically effective & morally essential.
