Why didn't Farage just answer the question about Reform's education policy?

Why did he seek to mock and ridicule the journalist asking a perfectly legitimate question and try to deligitimise the FT?

Easy. That's who he is. An arrogant man who doesn't have any policies beyond pointing at the sea.

Here's another question: Why didnt any of her fellow journalists stand up for her? The next question from the next journalist should have been "Why did you seek to belittle and ridicule her instead of answering?"

Gonna post it again...

Please give it some exposure. It might not result in anything even if it got 100K signatures, but if it doesn't get any it definitely won't and we're seeing more and more evidence rather than conjecture around these murky, opaque orgs.

You've appointed Tories to your top team. Why should people believe your party is any different?

Farage: "These were two people who were ministers, but frankly weren't ministers for very long".

Suella Braverman was a minister for over 4 years.

Robert Jenrick was a minister for almost 5 years.

That Goodwin would attract like-minded racists, bigots and neo-Nazi adjacent lowlifes was predictable.

That the BBC, Times, etc would entirely ignore this...was also predictable.

Watching the Gorton debate and the Tory candidate is trying desperately to out Nazi the Nazi. She’s fucking rancid. Ex-Copper. And a blatant liar.

Not sure why Reform announcing they’ll scrap the Equality Act 2010 hasn’t provoked widespread alarm.
They want to torch our human rights framework AND repeal our right to protection from discrimination.
A smile and a shrug on BBC News.
What the hell?

Look at that ridiculous man.

The absolute king of whataboutery.

The crown prince of entitlement.

The Emperor with no clothes.
Nigel Farage lashes out at a FT journalist and refuses to answer the question.

Is this how Reform UK would ignore media questions if they got into government?

BBC Newsnight, still flogging Reform again. ZiaYusuf, the mouthpiece for the Retards is there. The other guests are Jacob Ress Mogg 🙄 and Caroline Lucas. Some balance there!. I switched off. No point in watching a right-wing promo.

Along with many others I have stopped watching the news. It has become so distorted and unbalanced and frankly, nauseating in its sycophancy towards the slug F*rage.

The Conservatives Party won 121 seats in GE. They currently have 116 seats. They are still clearly the Opposition.

Only the Opposition Party can declare a Shadow Cabinet.

Will they ever look like they know what they’re doing?

As every media outlet promotes Nigel Farage and his Reform company, as we are told they will undoubtedly form the next govt, it is worth reminding ourselves of a few ‘unmentioned’ outcomes.

But hey …. go ahead and place your X in the box. Coz that’s what the media tells you.

From April, who gets more money in their pocket?

⬆️ Higher National Living Wage
⬆️ State Pension rise 
⬆️ Universal Credit & benefits uprated
⬆️ Expanded childcare support

Biggest gains go to minimum wage workers, pensioners & low-income families.

It's totally disingenuous of the media to claim postponing local council elections is a Labour Government policy. It isn't, the policy is exactly the same as the last Tory government policy, allowing councils to request postponement if certain criteria is met. Who needs facts eh.
