“By hiring Zahawi, Farage is trying to build an impression of a party that works.” says Tim Stanley.
Really? Someone who dodged taxes, was unacceptably greedy with his expense claims & who backed Johnson & Truss & then saw the way the wind was blowing.

Unable to rely on the US for security, 2026 must be the year that Britain & Europe become stronger together.
That's why this year I will be campaigning for:
🔶A new UK-EU Customs Union
📈Aligning ourselves with the Single Market
🤝Coordinating our defence capabilities
We must stand together.

Saw this on X.
Merlin Strategy, run by Scarlet Maguire (formerly of JL Partners) is Farage's favoured polling company. Until very recently, registered at the same address as the Brexit Party's old one.
I'm sure it's just a coincidence.
