Who radicalised him?

“That’s why Tate got the following he got. So maybe I’m part of a similar phenomenon..." Nigel Farage, July 2024.

I often wonder whether prominent Brexiters who identify as intelligent backed Trump so enthusiastically because the referendum victory persuaded their subconscious that you really can just ignore reality, expertise & evidence without any consequences…
Or maybe it was just all the racism.

With Lowe’s whip withdrawn, the proportion of Reform MPs jailed for viciously assaulting a woman now stands at 25%.

No schadenfreude or satisfaction in seeing ‘prominent’ Trump
cheerleaders in the UK finally see the light & change their tune (Andrew Neil is just the latest). Just a low simmer at their toxic blend of arrogance, cupidity & ignorance & the knowledge that the media will still promote their ilk.

If you’re drawn to a politician because they promise to be cruel to Muslims or Jews or immigrants or gays or transgender people etc, the least you should do - the absolute, bare bones, still morally vacuous least - is ask yourself whether they’re likely to stop at the group you want to see targeted.

Andrew Neil’s latest column of shitspangle. This time ‘explaining’ that Donald Trump’s depravity has only become clear in the last week.

The last *seven days*?
What *we* have *always feared*?
What an irredeemable fraud he is.
Gets a whole chapter in ‘How They Broke Britain’.
And here he is now, ‘seeing the light’.

Danny Dyer voiceover: “Twat.”

prediction vs reality

Oh.

Struck by the trademark weapons grade hypocrisy of Farage reporting a coleague to police for alleged threats of violence while hoovering uo dollars for lying to Americans about our free speech being under threat from the police...

Musk might back rival to Reform, says FT.

I think Nigel’s about to return to his ‘foreigners shouldn’t interfere in U.K. politics’ schtick.

Make no mistake, if Farage was still begging for media attention & dreaming of the sort of poll numbers he currently enjoys, he would be shouting everything Lowe is saying from the rooftops. But here we are. Couldn't happen to a nicer bigoted, racist liar.

Nigel Farage’s “party of the people” received £100,000 from former Lehman Brothers senior banker Roger Nagioff, new donation records show.

That’s the same Lehman Brothers that was at the epicentre of the 2008 financial crash - an event that plunged millions of people into hardship

It might be time to stop treating Farage as if he's some sort of special confidante of Trump. The human skid mark hasn't got a clue what's going on in the White House, as the Chagos situation demonstrated, or what on earth Trump will do next.

French far-right leader cancels speech after accusing Bannon of 'Nazi gesture' Former top Trump adviser Steve Bannon denies making Nazi salute at CPAC and says Jordan Bardella is "unworthy to lead France".

Nigel Farage & Liz Truss happy at an event too fascistic even for the political heir to the Le Pens…

when did they stop calling the AFD “far right”?

Wanted it to work but unfortunately performances and results weren’t good enough hopefully this means we have someone lined up. #LCFC

Daily Telegraph ‘exclusive’ reports that Keir Starmer has not joined a golf club near Chequers.

Bastard.
