Nigel Farage.
Dodges any accountability for Brexit.
Plays fast and loose with the Clacton House saga.
Talks of nothing but immigration.
Downplays the Nathan Gill story.
Did f*ck all as an MEP; even worse as an MP
Nigel Farage is a con man.

Jeremy Clarkson: “Farage rarely talks about the economy and when he does, his numbers don’t add up.

He says he wants to cut taxes and increase spending by £150billion.

But before anyone has the chance to question his logic, he scuttles back to his safe space and starts raging about small boats.”

Jeremy Clarkson brands Keir Starmer 'thick' as he details his own economic plan

Clarkson also too aim at Nigel Farage in his penned political rant

Don't forget that 41 Tory MPs in the last government took Russian donations. That might account for media reticence to report on the Nathan Gill case.

Things Farage won’t answer:

1. Why did he lie about buying a house in Clacton?

2. What did he know about Welsh Reform Leader Nathan Gill’s Russian Bribes?

3. Why did he lie about meeting the Russian Ambassador?

4. Why is his flagship council Kent raising taxes and cutting services?
