Nigel Farage is flying more than 3,000 miles to speak at a pro-Trump U.S. think tank.

For around 12 hours’ work this Saturday the Reform UK leader is expected to collect £27,856.88 from the Club for Growth, a Washington-based anti-tax lobby group that has pledged to work closely with Donald Trump ahead of the 2026 U.S. midterms.

This group helped raise ÂŁ120m for Republican candidates in the 2024 election.

So while people in Clacton deal with rising costs, poverty and cuts Farage is being paid the equivalent of many people’s yearly salary to give a single speech in America.

It is a bit weird to hound a poster for personal information like that.

I haven't hounded anyone for personal information. It was the other poster who volunteered personal information;

'My son, then late 20s with zero vulnerabilities, had his jab several weeks before me at 61 and living with a vulnerable husband.'

My suggestions were somewhat light-touch in reply;

'Was he a volunteer or 'friend of a friend' walk-in, receiving a dose that would otherwise have gone to waste? That did happen in the UK as well.'

Are you suggesting I am weird? Because that would be a personal attack which is against the rules. Wink

Northern Ireland still follows EU VAT rules for goods, including electricity.

Ok.
