We must not allow Nigel Farage to run away from his record on Ukraine
Nigel Farage has been consistent in his support of Putin while spinning dangerous lies about immigrants and minorities.

Russia destroyed 100% of Odesa’s energy infrastructure. All substations were destroyed by missiles and drones.
The city has been completely left without electricity, hot water, and heating for over one million people, including all critical infrastructure.

Trump's approval ratings are tanking. He's flailing on the economy. Epstein haunts him. Republicans are beginning to revolt against him.
He's not all powerful.
A tyrant can exercise tyranny only insofar as the objects of his tyranny continue to allow it.
