Fourteen-jobs Farage has no time for his constituents. He barely attends parliament and has never held a single surgery in Clacton with people who elected him. Whose interests does he serve?

Parliament needs to address this urgently. We put them in Parliament to represent ourselves, not themselves.
Time this gravy train was derailed.
Defections at all elected positions (councils etc) must be followed by an by-election, the voters must have a voice.

Could a blueprint drawn up by US NeoCons for the incoming Netanyahu government in 1996 be providing the roadmap from #IranIsraelUSWar ???

In many ways, the more important question is not how journalism works, but for whom. With a few honourable exceptions - including @bylinetimes.bsky.social and @bylinesnetwork.co.uk - the answer is, not for citizens.

His MP position is merely a podium for him shout out his megaphone style of politics. It is not about representation. ๐๐

So "Patriotic" so much a "man of the people" that he can barely be arsed doing the job as an MP that taxpayers give him ยฃ92k a year plus expenses for (and he was just the same as an MEP)
Charlatan
Could a blueprint drawn up by US NeoCons for the incoming Netanyahu government in 1996 really be providing the roadmap from #IranIsraelUSWar ???

โOn March 5, the four main Iranian Kurdish armed groups all denied that any offensive had begun. Iraqโs Kurdistan Regional Government confirmed that no Iraqi Kurd had crossed the border.โ
The Dem Party of Iranian Kurdistan said reports were an effort โto create divisionsโ in the Kurdish coalition.
The infamous Knife In The Back!
