To be fair, Andy Burnham was happy to sit next to a convicted fraudster at PMQs this week.

Whatabout.

I knew you'd bring up Haigh. So predictable. Anyway, her conditional discharge conviction is spent. Unlike the 25 National Rally politicians.

As for that memorandum of understanding, it is not worth the paper it is written on. It is a stunt.

You're really scraping the barrel with that one. Haven't you got anything better?

This is what gets to me most of all. Farage, Tice et al and many of their donors will see their voter base as scum. They'd cross the road to avoid them if they weren't after their votes. The real sting would to be catch this lot laughing about the plebs that vote for them. There is no way in hell that they don't mock them. Upper class and upper middle class right wingers do not care one jot for the under class and working class.

The fact that they have their meetings in Claridges and private ‘exclusive’ clubs. Drink champagne in private and pints in public.

Whataboutism. They had a lot of practice during Brexit & Johnson. Distract and deflect from the uncomfortable topic in the hope of derailing thread.

Farage has been reported to the Standards Commissioner, again.

You've got to hand it to the Libdems, they are leading the fight against Farage's corruption!

Indeed, although I think it was the Conservatives that reported Farage to the standards commissioner for the £5 million bung.

ed to add million, a £5 isn’t going to get Farage so much as a mouthful of fizz.

It does amaze me that these people consider themselves to be patriots. They're the worst of us.

It’s a strange juxtaposition of

‘this country is shit - we want Trump to invade us’
and

‘we’re proud of our flag so we’ll hang it upside down on lampposts and random street furniture so it gets tatty and naff’.

You’re right - I don’t know what Nigel Farage knows or assumes. The impression I get - that was compounded by the footage of him swilling oysters and champagne while laughing with people as they set about breaking our democratic laws - is of a very wealthy, privileged man exploiting people’s fears (and in some cases prejudices) for his own financial and political gain.

Maybe I’m wrong. But I think enough people have the same impression for it to be very, very difficult for him to become Prime Minister now.

the footage of him swilling oysters and champagne

I don't wish to be picky but I didn't spot any champagne on the table (although I've only watched the condensed footage showing Farage). There's a bottle of white wine with a screw top and several bottles of water. I don't think they were drinking champagne on this occasion.

The oysters look quite affordable if you like that sort of thing;

Local Rock Oysters
6 for £14

Local Native Oysters
Available from September - April
6 for £18

I agree with @Firetreev that Reform despise everything about their own voting base - apart from their votes. Who or what does Farage relate to in Clacton ffs? No coincidence it's the most white, uneducated part of the U.K.

Watch out for an array of new, easy-to-chant slogans and a desperate campaign of 'look over there' distraction tactics as his corruption is revealed. The £5m will just be the tip of the iceberg.

Oh well, that is OK then. Forget about the corruption and lies, the oysters were reasonably affordable for someone on a good income.

£18 ? For some salty snot ?

That’s two months of meals according to Reform’s own Lee Anderson.

They flew the supposed US donor to the pub in Clacton via helicopter. Farage knew exactly what was going on because he's filmed, thanking them for the donations for the fake polls - he says it was good 'bang for bucks.'

Another good diversion. looks like fizz to me.

25 National Rally members who were either politicians or politicians' assistants at the time the crimes were committed.

I’m sure the chopper was very reasonably priced.

Ed Davey claimed a few days ago that if the UK signed up to the EU's Migration Pact then the small boats would stop the following day. I think Ed Davey is starting to sound more like Donald Trump.

I’m sure I read he was drinking Guinness with a champagne topper. Maybe I’m wrong. And maybe that is a reasonable price for oysters, I wouldn’t know.

But regardless, to me, the image of these obscenely wealthy men, born into lives of enormous privilege, merrily indulging themselves as they undermined our hard-fought-for democracy by allowing big money foreign donors to infiltrate their party struck me as grotesque.
