Keeping everything crossed

The £5 million gift is just something the slimy toad can't wriggle out of and its really rattled him

good work by journalists from all areas of politics for not letting this go

Farage won’t ever be PM, it’s far too much work. He just likes to create a furore then walk away…just like he did with Brexit.
He only works for his own personal financial gain.

I am not a Reform voter and doubt I could be persuaded to be one, but this is nonsense. He was an investment banker before going into politics. If his only motivation was personal financial gain, why did he give that up to have arguments with the EU?

Man with a beard padding ferociously on BBC News

From the Guardian:

sources tell me Nigel Farage “has had enough” and is sick of the attacks by what they say are left wing media outlets. That should be the theme of the 2pm statement tell me Nigel Farage “has had enough” and is sick of the attacks by what they say are left wing media outlets. That should be the theme of the 2pm statement

Investment bankers are paid lots but they do also work quite hard. They don't usually just get given £5 million.

Oh just get on with it

Darragon · 07/07/2026 14:09

Shouldn’t it have started by now?

AirborneElephant · 07/07/2026 14:11

He’s not even doing a press conference, the coward doesn’t want to answer any questions.

MargoLivebetter · 07/07/2026 14:12

Here we go!

TheRestIsEntertsinent · 07/07/2026 14:12

Enjoyed it? He hasn't done the job of being an MP!

Secretsquirrelshh · 07/07/2026 14:12

He’s building up to handing over I think.

TheRestIsEntertsinent · 07/07/2026 14:13

I'm not a fan of these speeches in front of flags.

TheRestIsEntertsinent · 07/07/2026 14:13

Oh, fuck off Farage.

twocornichons · 07/07/2026 14:13

Establishment!

RafaistheKingofClay · 07/07/2026 14:13

It’s everybody else’s fault obvs.

BackToLurk · 07/07/2026 14:13

I never want to hear Farage say "rump" again.

Secretsquirrelshh · 07/07/2026 14:13

I AM THE GOODEST BOY.

TheRestIsEntertsinent · 07/07/2026 14:14

The man's a crook. If he hasn't done anything wrong why is he running away?

MargoLivebetter · 07/07/2026 14:14

OMG, he is reading out the rules!!!!!!!

LizzieSiddal · 07/07/2026 14:14

He’s such a nasty twaty liar.

PerkingFaintly · 07/07/2026 14:14

Interesting that so many Farage-friends in the media think it's likely Farage is going to run away simply because due diligence on his finances has begun.

What do they know that we don't?

Do they think there's a lot more to come out?

LizzieSiddal · 07/07/2026 14:15

Boring Bastard……

Damn, forgot "let's be frank"
