The allegations are clearly credible+ number of witnesses mean they ring true. Farage did not deny them in 2013 and 2021. His colleagues claims they are made-up clash with his own tacit acknowledgement, emphasising his age and the different context.

This is the hidden in plain sight heffalump trap in the Budget - Mahmood’s plan will deepsix whatever fiscal headroom the Chancellor has.
There is an actual interesting little deceit in the budget, namely ther have the OBR still forecasting based on increasing net immigration back to 300-350k whilst the Home Secretary is promising to bring it down from 200k, which does dissolve about half the headroom, but somehow we're doing vibes.
Think this is exactly right - political journalism that is completely abstracted from policy, which was not the norm before 2017, has become the default. Impossible to have a serious attempt to either shrink what the state does or widen the tax base (have to do at least one) on that basis.
