This morning on BBC Breakfast, Nigel Farage said he had received “zero help from the state” with his security. Yet reports say he had previously received publicly funded protection and was offered a taxpayer-funded package including a bodyguard, a secure car and a trained driver.

Keep foreign money out of UK politics. 80 per cent of donations to Reform UK in the past 12 months have come from donors or companies based overseas. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

“Analysis of data from the Electoral Commission shows the amount received from donors who were based abroad in the past two years by Farage’s party [company] dwarfs that of other parties, amid growing concern about overseas influence in British politics”

Just heard Farage on the news shrieking about how Burnham has no mandate to seek closer ties to EU. a) He can Fuck off b) show us any tangible benefit Brexit has given us c) Fuck off a bit further 🤨🤣

Yes, but your two big ideas so far have been police and crime commissioners and Brexit. Shall we check on them first?

It is disgraceful that Andy Burnham took an hour out to appear on Gogglebox just to raise money for Stand Up To Cancer. If he's going to do a TV show he should do what I did and pocket £1.5million for eating some kangaroo bollocks.

. America has now openly joined Putin in its unprovoked war on Europe. After Nazi Germany attacked Europe it took decades to trust Germany again. Only the American people can depose the traitor who has destroyed their once proud nation. Only they can speed the recovery of its nation's reputation.

The latest hot news that we will definitely not be holding a press conference about is that yesterday there were by-elections in three district councils, one city council and one county council and Reform lost in all of them. Our unstoppable march to power continues.

Danny Tommo's 'patriot platform' vigilantes were refused service in The George Inn, Portsmouth. They demanded to know why, despite the fact they do not have to be given a reason. Always make bigots feel unwelcome. Show the pub some love for doing the right thing. Things you love to see ✊❤️

Today, I have mostly been in Plymouth to spout bollocks about the economy, in an effort to distract attention from my dodgy financial dealings and the fact that my party is full of racists and perverts.

At 25, you might dream of studying in Rome. At 45, you might discover a business opportunity in Berlin. At 65, you might want to retire in Spain. Freedom of Movement meant you didn't have to know your future in advance. That's the extraordinary freedom Brexit took away.
