The next time a Brit enters the EU, you’ll need to register your fingerprints and have a photo taken.

That data stays in the system for three years. It’ll automatically log when you enter and leave, enforcing the 90-days-in-180 rule

When Farage and I were growing up (similar age) Russia was the enemy, we were both in cadets, Russia was the Army’s foe

Villains in Movies & books were Russian.. those who helped Russia were traitors

Since 2010 Farage has been on Russian TV at least 17 times talking the West down

Seems @Nigel_Farage is trying damage limitation on the Reform Russian Bribes scandal.

He’s known Nathan Gill for 20 years, and claims he knew nothing.

No one believes you, Nigel.

Keep the story moving. Questions must be answered.

Its first step? Trying to create a debate around "free speech"

Poor old Trump. No Nobel Prize. Some days he solved 6 wars, other days it was 9 wars, today its 7 wars. And like magic he can end wars between countries that aren’t at war, or that don’t exist, or that are still at war. All without leaving the golf course or the gold plated WH rooms.

Bad people can thrive in their lifetimes, but history will (almost) always catch up with them eventually.

Trump can preen and pout and posture all he likes, but his only reward will be eventual ignimony.

In the meantime, every well-deserved slap in his face should be treasured.

Excellent piece - including an important note of hope.

"And, as Farage’s career shows, the British far-right cannot hold power for long. With no guardrails – no institutions, no discipline, only cults of personality – infighting is inevitable"

My view of Reform, exactly.
