Grifter-in-chief. Racist. Russian asset. Trump groupie.
He gets an MP’s salary and spends his time doing anything but.

If that were true, his politics now would be different and he’d apologise. He’s defensive because this is what he is and always has been and he’s angry with us for knowing that and for minding.

Russia's ambassador to the UK, Yakovenko, boasted about Brexit to another diplomat:

Today, Farage’s close ally, leader of Reform in Wales, was sentenced to 10yrs for taking bribes from Russia.

If you have to remove our rights in order to govern properly, then you shouldn’t be anywhere near ANY level of power.
Always be wary of politicians insisting that the only way to truly “take back control” is to remove our rights and freedoms. We lose our protection from abuses of power while our country loses trust and influence on the world stage. That’s not control. It’s weakness.
