Some are saying Farage is as bent as a nine bob note.

I’m still wondering how his Clacton house purchase was funded.

That is Oleg Voloshin’s wife. (Oleg, who bribed Farage’s UKIP / Brexit Party/ ReFuk mate, NATHAN Gill), to push the Russian line in the European Parliament. She says Farage is happy with her Brexit celebration T-shirt gift. He does seems very happy to receive it from her.

Not distracting from the the real issues here, but this did make me think of Rick from the Young Ones.

What’s that Jeremy? Your private healthcare couldn’t save your life but the NHS could?

People need to think long and hard about voting for Reform, Farage openly says we need insurance based healthcare, but what about people who can’t afford it?

They die. It’s simple.

Wow, Google has withdrawn its support from factchecking organisation @fullfact.org

It’s been one of the largest funders but now has cut its financial support.

I’m pretty sure this is so misinformation can run rife.

Deform UK Ltd say they're scrapping their planned Tax Cuts, but their ultimate aim is still to reduce public spending to 35% of GDP — that’s a £275 billion slash and burn exercise, right there.

In other news, the NHS costs £275 billion a year.

Just a coincidence, I'm sure.
