When was the last time you heard Farage say anything positive about Britain?

He can’t, as he doesn’t like or believe in Britain. He wants you to doubt it as much as he does.

Reform says one thing and does the opposite - this is not reforming our politics, it’s what we’ve come to expect after 14 years of Tory rule - is there really any difference between Reform and the Tories? I can’t see it.

O’Connor says his views on how to help local people β€œincreasingly diverged from those of the party”.

I see Reform UK are on #BBCQT again tonight, would one of the other panelists kindly ask

Is it fiscally responsible for Nathan Gill to make anti EU, pro Russia statements in exchange for bribes

But for Nigel Farage to make anti EU, pro Russia statements, without bribes?

Nigel Farage earns over Β£1m from 12 'second jobs' - check how much your MP earns The Reform UK leader's most lucrative second jobs include hosting on GB News, serving as a brand ambassador for Direct Bullion and recording videos for Cameo

Twelve Jobs Nigel has earned over Β£1 million in additional income since the general election.

To understand the scale of it, since the July 2024 election he's earned roughly Β£100k more as a brand ambassador for Direct Bullion than Starmer gets as PM.

I sometimes worry I exaggerate the collective madness of our media but the people who cheered Brexit, Boris Johnson & Liz Truss's mini-budget are now applauding Kemi Badenoch's speech. 'Parallell universe' doesn't come close. I suppose her not falling over is a win of sorts for them at the moment.

London hits clean air milestone 184 years early - ULEZ makes 'big difference' A professor has branded the success a 'truly remarkable turnaround for the city's air quality'

Thanks to London’s bold action, almost 10 million people are now breathing cleaner air.

That means fewer children will grow up with stunted lungs and fewer people will have to suffer from asthma, dementia and heart disease.

Kemi Badenoch blames those crossing borders for our problems. It’s a lie aimed to distract.

The real issue is a system protecting the super-rich while nurses & carers can’t make ends meet. Tax wealth fairly, fund public services properly. This is how we give Britain hope again.
