Nigel Farage is the king of the U-turn.

He changes his mind so often, it's easy to think he'll say anything for attention.

9 telling reversals:

Where do the days go? BUT WHAT DO YOU REALLY DO? "What do you do?" We have all asked, or been asked, that question many times. It's seen as a safe conversationa...

Sorry Miriam, but I have to disagree... NO HE ISN'T We went to see Miriam Margolyes on the Fringe yesterday. A wonderful show, the actor pouring her talents into bringing Dickens ...

Well, who could possibly have predicted that the Mandarin Moron would be played by the Snidey Smirker, just like he was by Little Rocket Man first time around?

But this time the stakes are a wee bit higher...

{Peace in Europe anyone?)

The Beta Tools March and the crazy man driving it!

And Scotland was forced to pay for his 'protection'. (He needed it here...)

Farage should never be interviewed without being forced to answer for failures of Brexit. That the man whose lies fuelled Brexit vote which has cost UK Billions & who said Liz Truss budget was “best Tory budget since 1986” could be trusted on *anything* is mind-boggling #bbclaura

Britain is not a nation. The UK is a union of nations.

Here’s hoping MPs will vote in line with vast majority of public who support assisted dying. It’s had over 90 hours of scrutiny & has properly robust safeguards. To do nothing is to consign many to fear, pain & worse. Yes, better palliative care & yes, also, the option of AD @dignityindying.org.uk

I'm going to create a painting today.

It will be be awful, but it will be mine.

Those predictions are strongly interrelated.

BBC Newswatch desperately trying to justify their excessive exposure of ReformUK today, but every argument only supports the complaints. Of course, their support will grow if the other parties don't even get the airtime to promote their own policies! Absolutely outrageous bias from the BBC. 😡

The new definition of dumbing down

Another violent criminal back on the streets...

The USA slowly falling apart as public services are withdrawn is a warning of how the UK will fall apart under Reform.

Skin to fur

Touch is simple
Touch is the best
Touch assures, reassures, conveys
Touch when you can

How do you get to be so gullible that you can believe that a few desperate people in small boats are some kind of existential threat?

It's a horrific irony that the people who seem most vociferous about celebrating VE day, which signalled the defeat of fascism, are the ones keen to see it brought in to run the UK...

Farage and co are trying to create a brain-washed ignorant underclass who will be malleable and easily manipulated, as many of their followers already are. This is how it begins folks. YOU have been warned.
