Nigel Farageās supporters donāt like it when you point out that heās talking about cutting the minimum wage for young workers. Or that heās pocketed over Ā£1 MILLION from outside "workā since the election. Because it exposes the truth about this self-styled āman of the peopleā.

Left-wing government. "But what have they actually done?" This ššš. Having suffered a traumatic no-fault eviction in 2022 (whilst already in a huge traumatic period) this is very very gratifying to see this real-world, positive difference being reflected in my voting choice.
