Something catches in ex-Tory Danny Kruger’s throat as he says Reform is a robust “centre-right” 🤣 party.

He was on Politics Live to critique the budget, encourage *some* types of people to have more children and, of course, to dutifully dismiss Nigel Farage’s “offensive banter”.

One more for your thread, Radio Kent in 2014...

Clare McDonnell @claremcdonnell.bsky.social posted her BBC Radio Kent interview on Threads:

“An interview I did with Nigel Farage when those racism allegations first broke back in 2014 when he was Leader of UKIP”

“… why does his response keep changing if there's nothing to it?”

Anja Popp on Channel 4 News, asks Nigel Farage about racist comments at Reform's Budget 2025 presser.

Visibly defensive, deflecting with 'Enoch Powell', 'political views', 'debate'… Farage doodles away his anxiety.

“… why does his response keep changing if there's nothing to it?”

Anja Popp on @channel4news.bsky.social asks Nigel Farage about racism and antisemitism allegations at the post-Budget2025 presser.

Visibly troubled, defensive and deflective, Farage tries to doodle away his anxiety.

Dharshini David on BBC News at 6 frames “welfare” as only the forever-greedy disabled & feckless unemployed… irresponsible UC claimants with 3+ kids were demonised elsewhere.

No hint of what makes ~50% of welfare spending: PENSIONS 🔒🔒🔒

Before the leak… witness the duality of contempt the Tories hold for “Team 🇬🇧”, David Reed 🪂 MP:

1. “we should all be on Team UK”

2. “the message that's coming out from all of the leaks, is essentially, you don't need to work hard in this country…”

"… we are ramping sanctions… freezing known Russian assets… I don't actually mean the honourable member from Clacton."

I'm sure Rachel Reeves didn't say that to Nigel Farage "in a hurtful or insulting way" at least, "not with intent…"

I think that's what an alleged racist said recently…?

“You don't love anyone else or the country you've made your home - the only thing you like & love is money… Off you go… hop on your private jet & fly to Dubai.”

James O’Brien @mrjamesob.bsky.social @lbc.co.uk on £33 x billionaire Lakshmi Mittal leaving 🇬🇧 for 🇦🇪. Admittedly, he’s already left 🇮🇳 once.

“Of course he’s an asset to Putin.”

Dr Fiona Hill on Trump (🇷🇺 adviser ‘17-19) to Matt Frei.

“Hill has spoken of the difficulty of ascertaining what Trump & Putin discussed in private meetings. Hill believed Trump idolized Putin and fell into a trap he set at the Helsinki meeting.” 🔗 w.wiki/GJq5

Prisoner 951 is also a searing reminder that Boris Johnson felt no consequences for his statements during this £400M hostage situation and continued to fail upwards + Truss, Cleverly, etc

2014 or 2025 🦢 it’s all the same bullsh*t and bluster.

"The reality is that people working zero hour contracts, often do work zero hour contracts because they choose to work zero hour contracts… they want the flexibility that that brings."

"Reality" check from Sir Simon Clarke (Brexit 🇪🇺 & Truss 🥬 cheerleader, lost 🗳️ seat in 2024, Boris 🎁 Knighthood)

Another prescient clip from BBC’s Civilisations: Rise and Fall… migrants as enemies and migrants as profit centres.

Clearsprings/Serco: “let them eat …”

Just to add the racist cherry to this interview with Nigel Farage, here's 30 seconds on suspended Welsh Reform MS Laura Anne Jones.

ITN: "Well, she used a racist word, that's hardly minor."

NF: "Well, she used a word that colloquially, probably was meant in a nice way 20 years ago."
