Did Farage ever sue the Mail on Sunday?

This threat was issued in June 2025, but I can find no further reference to events after that.

Are Labour really going to try and tie current economic damage (and hence the need for further tax rises) to Farage and to Brexit, whilst at the same time insisting that persevering with Brexit is the right thing to do?

That feels like gaslighting of the very highest order.

Except Zack Polanski.

She cancelled his interview and now refuses to do it.

Nigel Farage went to Dulwich College which when he attended was more expensive than Eton

He earns £1.5m a year, 92% of which comes from dodgy donations

His girlfriend pays £885,000 in cash to buy houses but she's a waitress.

He's not a 'working man' he's very rich and corrupt

The solutions proposed for New Zealand's (and virtually every other country's) problems are always like:
"We need to make people work for more years"
"We have to cut back on services, I'm sorry, there is just no other way"
"We have to cut benefits for young people"

never:
"We need to tax the rich"
