Trump wants to destroy the BBC and take our money. And Nigel Farage is egging him on.

All true patriots should tell them both: hands off our BBC.

Sky owner Comcast in talks to buy ITV’s broadcasting arm for £2bn Deal would exclude ITV Studios but would mark major shake-up of UK television The parent company of Sky is in talks to buy ITV’s broadcasting business for about £2bn, two decades after James Murdoch made an audacious move to become the biggest shareholder in the UK’s largest commercial free-to-air broadcaster. The US media company Comcast, which owns assets including Universal Studios and bought Rupert Murdoch’s Sky for £30bn in 2018, is in talks to buy ITV’s broadcasting arm, which includes its TV channels and streaming service ITVX.

This afternoon Nigel Farage failed to pass his bill to take the UK out of the ECHR. The ECHR protects us all and we must continue to resist attempts to remove this vital safety net. History teaches us clearly: rights can be lost quickly if we don't defend them.

Nigel Farage's biggest policy.

Getting rid of the NHS and having Health Insurance.

In the US they now pay $14,000 a year, for that you get nothing at all, you have to pay for your treatment when you get sick on top of that as well.

Fact Check: Nigel Farage on Ukraine and Putin Podcast Episode · Quiet Riot · S1, E9 Bonus · 12m

I see Nigel Farage is back to claiming he "predicted" the war between Russia and Ukraine in the EU Parliament, when in fact he spoke AFTER the annexation of Crimea, to defend Russia and claim it was all the EU's fault.

I did a full fact-check, with clips, here:

People always say, "Oh yeah but green energy pollutes as well."

Here is the facts a Solar Panel pollutes about 1/300th as much as burning gas, and a Wind Turbine about 1/500th.

That means if you used 100% Wind you would get the same pollution in 500 years as you now get in 1.

I will remind people, every single Billionaire in the UK gets an average of £320,000,000 of benefits a year, mostly in tax they allowed to avoid.

This👇🏼 is exactly my point Reform’s much publicised “success in the polls” is massaging of “surveys” masking the true sentiment of the public who voted for LibDems 7 times as more than Reform

Purely Propaganda by MSM to depict Farage as a political heavyweight not the lightweight chancer he is..
