Nigel Farage is to give up his £73,000 EU pension!
Sorry - my mistake - he just wants to stop other people having a decent pension.

Farage's tax and spend promises make Liz Truss - you know, the PM who crashed the economy - look like an economic genius.
Nigel Farage has been making some big populist promises.

But behind the soundbites lies not only a financial black hole, but tells us a lot about the future he sees for Britain:

Let’s take a closer look

The #BBC has been infiltrated by the right wing since #Cameron . Strange how Starmer does NOTHING re top management change. It’s almost as if he agrees with their policy. Let’s put the #bbc out for subscription and see how many sign up.

A useful reminder that the 'great moving right show', which dominates Labour thinking, is fundamentally flawed, unless you understand that abandoning the working class, destroying the left and representing the interests of finance capital is all that matters.

Polling analysis shows Labour are losing more voters to Greens and Lib Dems than to Reform
Labour should be worried about losing votes to the left, not just to the hard right

Every statement every policy by Labour is super calibrated & laser guided to ensure fash victory. They literally could not do anything more to fash pill the nation & roll the turf for Farage
The future of our country must be built on secure foundations 🇬🇧

This Government is investing in our security, creating thousands of jobs & supporting working people across the country.

It would give the UK nation a major lift if Starmer made a speech in support of the citizens of #Gaza and called out the murderous, depraved actions of the #Netanyahu regime.

It was a key Nigel Farage strategy 👇👇 Did he resort to direct recruitment of right-wing, racist Tories?

They sheltered there, since populist years of fat, lying cvnt, Boris Johnson, when Tories & Brexit Party were inseparable - apart from few exceptions: Soubry, Grieve

Always remember why billionaires fund facists like Farage - they want them to use violence to protect their wealth.
The facist just want powers at any cost and will say anything that persuades fools to give it him.

The Clown Taco has shown what fascism looks like - breaking the economy, removing democratic and human rights and failing to create international agreements and cooperation

Mini Farage is trying the same in local government. Already falling apart under the incompetence and illegality.

Abortion in the UK is still illegal, only legal if strict caveats are met. Women who have experienced traumatic stillbirths or miscarriages have been investigated by the police because abortions are criminalised in the UK. news.sky.com/story/nigel-...

If you want to know how Farage's plan will work out, then get a dog or a cat and then deal with the vets bills. It quickly gets eye watering.

His plan only works for the rich who can afford private healthcare.
Terrifying

Here’s the strategy. Join the Lib Dems, Greens, SNP or Plaid Cymru. As their numbers rise, other voters will see the tide turning. Encourage troubled Labour MPs to defect. Most importantly, begin the process in each constituency of bringing alienated voters together around a single candidate.
