But his retirement plans are now in “disarray” and “ruined” cos he’s going to have to find an additional £208.33 per month?
He has £2-4 million in savings/investments but claims he is not “cash-rich” and his house was his only “pension”
Seriously @Telegraph, where do you find these people?🤣🤣🙄

Here's UKIP's former Scottish leader David Coburn, who has denied taking Russian bribes after being named in Whatsapp messages between Nathan Gill and a pawn of the Putin administration, being applauded by Gill for arguing against Ukraine's entry to the EU

After a year trying to persuade this government that migrant children also do not deserve to live in poverty, I can confirm that they know their policies cause poverty - especially for children - and they don’t care.
The government’s decision to halve the time limit for refugees to leave Home Office accommodation is driving people into homelessness and exploitation, according to migrant rights campaigners and homelessness charities

New asylum policies making homeless refugees “targets for the far right”
Labour’s abrupt return to the 28-day move-on period is pushing vulnerable people into rough sleeping and exposing them to fraud and abuse.

As for Farage’s use of racist slurs being confined to his childhood - well, that's not what Alan Sked, the founder of UKIP, claimed in this 2014 interview.
He says here that Farage was using the "n" word as late as 1997.
Farage would have been about 33 at time.

Watching Civilisations: Rise and Fall on the BBC and we wonder why there are 1st century AD legionaries in late 4th century Rome 🤔
Ok so armour and uniforms could last a long time, but isn't this like having the 1640s Parliamentarian New Model Army defend London during the Blitz?
