It is obvious now that the Parliamentary Commissioner was about to throw the book at Farage so he’s decided to circumvent that formal punishment by resigning. However Farage could be stopped in his tracks - read this:

The CEO is being paid eighteen times as much as the Prime Minister of the UK. He’s in charge of an operation which is currently endorsed by the UK government despite it apparently doing more damage than Palestine Action.

Did you hear about the DC July 4 fireworks show? It promises 850,000 fireworks in 40 minutes. That's 354 per second. You'll miss up to 142 of them every time you blink.

There last few weeks shows how deeply principled and decent people can be, even when going through the most terrible pain. Their grace stands in stark contrast to those who would exploit their suffering for political gain.
