Farage hasn't been to one regeneration meeting despite plans for Β£20m cash In 2023, Clacton was named among 54 other towns to receive a vital cash boost as part of the government’s Long Term Plan

❌ Nigel Farage has missed EVERY meeting about regenerating his constituency of Clacton since becoming an MP.

But he did find time to go and perform a publicity stunt in the Indian Ocean last week...

⚠️ A warning to those in Gorton & Denton over the kind of representation Reform UK provide.

Paracetamol please. I passed out in the bathroom last night (illness not booze) and smashed my head. I have a very fine bruise!

Charities round here would collect it
Try ringing a couple of them.

Aren't there any charities you could give it to?

I've done that for years along with the notification to actually put them out! Why do people make a simple task more complicated?

I really like the fact that the police got him up at 8am. Must have seemed like the middle of the night to him as I believe he stays in bed till lunchtime. I wonder if they gave him time to get dressed instead of dragging him off in his PJs?

Can I suggest that gullibility has nothing to do with age, it's the lack of critical thinking. Why else did so many working-age people vote for brexit?

Same. It's the ghost cat that does my head in; the one I see out of the corner of my eye.

Senior Reform UK figures attend launch of How to Launder Money book Co-author George Cottrell is close aide to party leader Nigel Farage and served several months in US prison As a choice for a book title, How to Launder Money certainly caught the eye. But then again, its co-author George Cottrell claims to know what he’s talking about. A close aide to Nigel Farage, Cottrell served several months in a US prison after being convicted there in 2017 for wire fraud – a chapter in his life he referred to at his book launch party on Thursday night.

Makes me wonder if he has any clue about the residents of Gorton in particular. I lived in Denton as a student so I'm pretty sure his comments will go down like a lead balloon.

The US administration’s insanity on vaccines continues to have ramifications across the world – it is not that America will miss out on these potential new vaccines. It is that they simply won’t happen at all. (Or at least they’ll be indefinitely delayed.)

I think you should consult Daphne. She will tell you that you are merely hanging on the coat tails of her worldwide fame.

All this bitterness because Reform didn’t get invited to rant at the students.

β€˜Free speech’, or we’ll shut the university down.

Listen to the high streets and they’ll tell you what must be done | LBC High streets are where the abstract language of economics becomes visible, writes Naomi Smith

🚨 "Nigel Farage cares even less about your local high street than he does about his Clacton constituency, which is a very low bar. Exploiting frustration is easier than fixing its causes. It is also a disturbingly reliable way to make things worse," writes Naomi Smith, CEO of Best for Britain.

If they all clubbed together, they could buy Reform off Nigel, liquidate it then form a New Conservatives party...
