Nigel Farage now says that any suggestion he's been soft on Putin is "just nonsense".

Here's a quick reminder of what he's said in the past

To the Olympic committee...

For everyone's safety, Move the World Cup and the Olympic games out of the U.S.

Libraries in Reform UK run Staffordshire are being forced to close.

They are refusing to hire much needed staff and refusing over time or paying for staff to be covered. This is resulting in libraries closing because of too few staff, despite there being available staff to cover.

Trump is playing with fire, with Argentina. Peacemaker? America First? That didnโ€™t last long. Not very pleasant is it, if every country behaves like that?

So pleased to see the #MercuryPrize coming from Newcastle tonight. #TheNorth is home to great music artists and venues. It was where I saw all my music idols, like Bowie, Roxy Music, Beach Boys, Little Stevie Wonder, the Stones and countless others. It will be a great night!

Every Child, Every Chance - no to faith schools Help Humanists UK raise money to support Humanists UK

Imagine an education system where one third of state schools select pupils by religion.

Now imagine that poorer, vulnerable children are denied a place at school because they're not โ€˜the rightโ€™ religion.

Oh wait. That IS our system. Help us fix it. Donate.

"It is ridiculous that antifa has become this boogeyman. If they're going to tell us they are going to find the founder of Antifa, isn't the founder of Antifa...Winston Churchill? FDR? Didn't they lead a war against fascism? Wasn't that anti-fascism?" - me

I donโ€™t like #DominicCummings. But I do keep an eye on what he says. Why doesnโ€™t he ever admit problems in this country since we voted to leave the EU? Which was something he was personally involved in. Has anyone heard him voice any concerns over Gaza?

You cannot take a political party tasked with managing OUR hard earned money seriously if they are going to announce a nonsense ยฃ90 billion tax giveaway only to dump it weeks later due to its total lack of credibility.

Reform UK Ltd will bankrupt this country.

I am old enough to remember that we went to war against fascism. And that Russians were the bad guys. Nigel Farage seems to have forgotten all this.
He is a traitor to the UK. He only care about himself and his bank account. He is not a patriot.

Thousands gather in London in march for โ€˜lasting peaceโ€™ in Gaza Director of Palestine Solidarity Campaign says ceasefire agreement says nothing about โ€˜system of apartheidโ€™ in Palestine โ€ข Gaza ceasefire โ€“ live updates Thousands of people have gathered in central London to call for โ€œlasting peaceโ€ in Gaza, a day after the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas came into effect. The demonstration, organised by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, began at Victoria Embankment on Saturday. Stalls sold keffiyehs and people handed out placards that read โ€œfrom the river to the sea, Palestine will be freeโ€, โ€œitโ€™s not a crime to act against genocideโ€ and โ€œStarmer has blood on his hands, free Palestineโ€.

'Farage could never be trusted to run Britain after getting Brexit so wrong' No Brexit champion, particularly Nigel Farage, is worthy of high office after proving so conclusively wrong on such a seismic issue, says Mirror Associate Editor Kevin Maguire

Amazing bit of 2019 footage this.

Frei doing a great job of trying to hold Farage to account as he and Nathan Gill go walkabout.

And I suspect Farage will come to regret his quip at the end about Russians if it does the rounds again.
