| 1. Author: The One Who Knocks Date: Tue 23rd Jun 2026. 16:48 Nige got absolutely roasted by Sally Nugent on the BBC earlier. Apparently nobody cares and he can spend this unconditional gift that he received from a foreign based cryptocurrency billionaire on buying cars though if he wanted. He`s clearly rattled and it`s a delight to see. And although my eyes were open They just might as well be closed Reply |
| 2. Author: Wotsit Date: Tue 23rd Jun 2026. 17:58 He`s a wholly contemptible individual. MPs should be given a decent pay rise but banned from moonlighting and should have zero income from other sources during their tenure as a public servant. “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” Reply |

| 4. Author: NMCmassive Date: Tue 23rd Jun 2026. 21:17 Farage is done IMO. He may still carry a core following but I doubt he’ll ever get enough votes now because of this. I think you can put him the same category as Corbyn… seriously!!! I mean they will both always have their supporters but the majority see through them. COYP Reply |
| 5. Author: McCaig`s Tower Date: Tue 23rd Jun 2026. 21:21 I saw multiple clips of Farage being interviewed about the £5m this morning, by Sally Nugent, Nick Ferrari and Julia Hartley-Brewer. They all seemed very similar to me. TBH none of them seemed like the “gotcha” they were claimed to be – he seemed irritated by the questions and critical of the interviewer, but he always seems irritated and critical of the interviewer. To me, this seems evidence that he is well dodgy and not to be trusted. to others, it suggests that he is an anti-establishment figure who won’t stand for any nonsense (albeit a privately educated, enormously wealthy one who has spent most of his career working in the city or failing to attend the parliaments he was elected to). No doubt his personal security costs are high – how high would vary with the level of threat and the length of time these are required. Would £5m cover it? I’ve no idea, but it makes little difference if he buys his own Ferrari and uses this money for security, or the other way around. His suggestion that he temporarily wasn’t a politician for a couple of days when he accepted the donation/gift doesn’t wash, but so what? Trump was a convicted felon and had multiple other accusations on his charge-sheet but people still voted for him. Many people donate money to political parties. What do they expect in return, if anything? Many people get freebies. What is reasonable and where do you draw the line? But why was he doing the rounds of media studios? Is it because he’s been avoiding the press of late? Or because Starmer has quit, he’s desperate to remind people he was meant to be the next Prime Minister and posting videos of himself standing in front of a field in a tweed suit and a checked shirt won’t cut it anymore?

| 6. Author: wee eck Date: Wed 1st Jul 2026. 14:54 Farage must be laughing all the way to the bank! From the Guardian - Nigel Farage received £270,000 from a gold marketer for which he is a brand ambassador, his single biggest payment as an MP. The Reform UK leader has been criticised in the past over his £400,000-a-year second job promoting the idea for Direct Bullion that people should buy physical gold and put it in their pension pots. The £270,000 payment, which is double his fee from 2025, was received in May and appears in Farage’s latest entry in parliament’s register of interests, published on Tuesday. Anna Turley, the Labour party chair, said: “He pretends to be on the side of ordinary working people but in truth he’s just in it for himself and will sell his time to the highest bidder. He should be focused on putting more pounds back in his Clacton constituents’ pockets rather than racking up payments off the back of gold sales.” Reply |

| 10. Author: Wotsit Date: Fri 3rd Jul 2026. 15:43 Remember when Starmer was pilloried by Farage over a pair of specs? And Starmer didn`t even change Labour policy to favour optometrists. “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” Reply |

| 15. Author: ipswichpar Date: Tue 7th Jul 2026. 14:43 The man of the people is resigning and then standing again to be the MP for exactly the same seat. Just as well that it is absolutely nothing to do with the parliamentary standards investigation. Reply |
| 16. Author: The One Who Knocks Date: Tue 7th Jul 2026. 14:55 Performative nonsense. He said he`s done nothing wrong so why not the chips fall where they may? And although my eyes were open They just might as well be closed Reply |
| 17. Author: wee eck Date: Tue 7th Jul 2026. 15:06 Strange times in UK politics! A few weeks ago we had the voters of Makerfield effectively choosing the next Prime Minister. Now the voters of Clacton are being asked to reject `the establishment` on behalf of the entire UK electorate. I don`t see how that`s going to stop certain media outlets criticising Farage. Reply |
| 18. Author: Buspasspar Date: Tue 7th Jul 2026. 15:43 He will win because no one will oppose him .. The Investigation will continue .. He is an absolute muppet .. or am I being too kind to him We are forever shaped by the Children we once were Reply |
