Farage’s claim that he alone predicted war in Ukraine is “another piece of fantastical evidence to show how he mimics his idol Trump in displaying a shameful disregard for truth in his lunge for power”

He does nothing but lie and grift and hate. He is failure.

Farage's duplicity on Russia makes him totally unfit to lead our country
Farage fears his desire to reach Downing Street might be thwarted by this simpering stance towards a bloodstained war criminal
19th October 2025 4:29 PM

Farage has a long and contemptible record of being so blinded by loathing of the European Union that he ended up frequently echoing Putin's propaganda (Photo: Jack Taylor/Getty)

Despite this desperate pivot last week, the Reform leader still claims the EU and Nato share blame for sparking Russia's atrocities and war crimes in Ukraine. Yet unlike almost all conflicts, this really is a simple issue and Kyiv's brave fight for freedom is one of striking moral clarity.
Far from deserving plaudits as the only person who "got it right" over Ukraine, Farage exposes only shifty duplicity - along with his disturbing espousal of Russian propaganda and his total unfitness to lead our country in such turbulent times when democracy is under global assault from dictatorship.

Farage is doing a big media push to deny he has any links with Putin and Russia.

It’s obviously starting to hurt.

Lam hears "settled status" and "guaranteed by withdrawal treaty" as up for grabs:understood to be temporary "provisional arrangements" which can be transitional and unsettled if and when you want to

That is highly counterintuitive as language of 'settled', as law & as politics of Treaty guarantees.

And yet just 37% of those eligible to vote at the time was enough to take us out of the EU, of those brain dead who still think it’s a good idea it’s still over 30%, that is enough people to get a majority in our antiquated FPTP system to run the Government.

"Sir Keir Starmer has been warned that Labour is being deserted by a so-called Green wave of left-wing voters who are disillusioned with the party’s shift to the right on welfare, migration and transgender rights."

10 years ago 4 million lived in poverty. We really are returning to the 1700s

Prem Sikka @premnsikka.bsky.social · 1d

Judge the next UK budget by how much it improves the purchasing power of the bottom 50%.

Can't revive economy without that.

16m live in poverty. 34% of universal credit claimants are in work. Millions rely on food banks.

Bottom 50% of population has 5% of wealth; the bottom fifth has only 0.5%.

Rachel Reeves’ budget must reduce inequalities and increase spending capacity of the masses

This is how to secure sustained economic growth

While the Queen was on the throne, it was a different matter.

With her passing it's time to ask - perfectly reasonably - who the institution of monarchy serves and whether this one family should rule over us all in perpetuity... with almost zero accountability

Irrespective of who sits in the big chair and wears the fancy hat, they've been serving only themselves since the monarchy raped, pillaged and murdered themselves into a position from which they could extort ever more resources from the poorest members of society.

Letter to the editor:
In 2018 alone, the EU gave £5.9bn to help deprived UK regions.

Now the government calls £5bn over ten years “ambitious.”

Brexit really did take from the poor to give to a slogan.

Letter to the editor: £5bn over ten years isn’t ‘ambitious’ – it’s a fraction of what the EU once gave
