"There is no universe in which Sam Ashworth-Hayes – or any of Britain’s array of overpaid columnists, commentators and ideological wonks – is more valuable to this country than a care worker"

Add to the mix that it was completely in Russia’s interest to interfere in European elections, fund Brexit, and divide the European alliance in an attempt to make it weaker.

Regulation takes the criminals out of the equation. You won’t be able to walk into a Tesco Express and buy heroine! You tackle addiction in a safe and regulated environment and treat addiction in a health environment rather than criminal issue. It will also reduce drug dependency crime.

Besides, just think of the measures I’ve had to take in order to keep the Epstein files under wraps, can you imagine what I’d have to do to keep Putin from releasing the shit load more kompromat he has on me! I might have to start a war with Venezuela!
Thank you for your attention in this matter DJT

Nigel Farage now says that any suggestion he's been soft on Putin is "just nonsense".

Here's a quick reminder of what he's said in the past

The Labour Party have spent no time at all criticising Nigel Farage and Reform.

When I took Reform on - Labour sat their silently.

They're now spending their time attacking me and the Green Party.

Lower bills. Tax billionaires. (And rebuild European alliances.)
