His spat with Stephen Flynn on LBC at lunchtime was hilarious. Very thin skinned and outraged at the ‘ancient history’ of Nathan Gill. Flynn did a great job on him

Farage keeps saying that only one person (Ettedgui) has directly accused him of abuse. That's not the case. Asked by ITV if he would like to apologise to Ettedgui, Farage says: "“If they feel they were hurt then I am very sorry.”

NEW: Asked about allegations of racist abuse when he was at school, Farage reiterates his denials. He says Peter Ettedgui, who has spoken to the Guardian and the BBC is "the one person who said I directly abused him". He claims political bias in other allegations.

Thus far, this Farage/Yusuf press conference has merely recycled already-announced Reform policies, with nothing new.

Zia Yusuf says non-UK nationals should “bear the brunt of difficult choices” in the budget. This might sound appealing to some as a slogan, but in reality, millions of those foreign nationals are spouses, parents, colleagues and friends who have EU settled status and have made their lives here.

Farage says his main takeaway from the budget is what he calls an "exodus" of wealthy and/or entrepreneurial people from the UK will increase. This is a point he makes pretty often. It seems to be his main economic message.

Noteworthy because of Farage/Reform's donors, who include Jeremy Gosling (energy investor) and David Lilley (metals and renewables), and their proximity to the climate change denying Heartland Institute (sponsored and spoke at conference)
