There’s only one question for Refuk’s Kremlin r🐀ts: was Farage also bribed by the Russian terrorist state like his good friend Nathan Gill?

Dear people of the U.K. (ostensibly England and Wales)

Until you realise this country is fucked because of 14 years of terrible mismanagement in every way by the Tories….

You will end up with Reform U.K. Ltd (Tories on crack) running this country.

And you think it’s bad now?!

Letter sent to Nigel Farage by Patrick Sargent
Former Reform UK regional Chairman

He is surprised to find out that the limited company he joined:

• Has no democratic structure
• Is not a meritocracy
• Is a Farage vanity project
• Has no policies
• Is not a professional outfit

I am sure if it were a tory pm's son they would be saying how well he has done for himself. I am old enough to remember the despicable son of Thatcher.

Yet only a few months ago he shared a platform with Nazzi Farrightidge and all the other tax avoiding faux farmers. However its encouraging to see people distancing themselves from the traiterous Russian sponsored grifting cunt.

I'm old enough to remember the National Front and I honestly see no difference between the divisive rhetoric being spouted by the likes of Jenrick and the NF propaganda of the late 70s and early 80s.

Any One Nation Tories still left in the party should be ashamed of their own silence.

Brian Moore @briantrumpet.bsky.social · 1d

Everything he's reported to have said in this BBC piece sounds like he's desperately trying to distance himself, knowing that the connection is real and toxic. If the press were investigating Farage with the same enthusiasm they went for Rayner, he'd be done for.

I am Anti-Fascist
I am Anti trump / maga / christofascism.
I am anti Nazzi Farrightidge
I am pro democracy
I am as woke as fuck.

Defective MP's and councillors like Freddie Kruger should face an automatic by-election, same for the likes of Sultana who was elected on a Labour manifesto

Patrick - Here for the craic 👍🏼 @patrickopatrick.bsky.social · 1d

Reform don’t “win seats” in HOP or Parliament by defections.. they impose Reform on constituents who didn’t vote for them whether they like it or not and refusing to resign and fight an election as Reform

So Farage can boast “we now have X Councillors and Y MPs” without them being elected🤷🏼‍♂️

Danny Kruger sends letter to explain defection to Reform

In a letter to constituents Danny Kruger says Tory "failures" were behind his reason to defect.

Generally yes although if someone has a profession e.g a doctor who needs to prsctice to maintain their competence allowances should be made.
We should also pay MP's better. Sadly all the good ones get tarred with the same brush as the bad ones

If large amounts of money could not be made in politics would some of the present politicians be in it?
Would our country be better if politicians believed what they said?
