I followed Nigel Farage on and off for 10 years. When all's said and done about his standing in Clacton, milkshake incident etc, he remains at the end of the day one of the most repugnant shameless liars in UK history. Some of his standout lesser-known lies I've compiled FTR 🧵

The contrast between his suave singing style and natural speaking voice was always impressive https://t.co/9Ana2gtSmH #ChrisRea

Never mind Driving Home for Christmas, languid banger On The Beach showed Chris Rea could encapsulate summer as neatly as the festive season. Still stands up almost 40 years later ☀️

This is why you should always trust your cat…

Unbelievable scenes at Loftus Rd. Can't remember the last time we were 4-0 up at half-time. Merry Xmas Marti Cifuentes 🎁 #qpr #qprlei

Don't think much of this new version of Shaky's Merry Christmas Everyone. Bit depressing

Something about late winners at Loftus Road in December https://t.co/FZGrxxOkFg @QPR_Boz

2-1 to the Rangers at the death 🎉 #qpr #qprbir

Wrote about their fellow Mancs for FT's 'Life of a Song' series: True Faith, one of my fave tracks (+ vids) of the 80s MTV era, with an interesting genesis tale behind it, I thought anyway. Always nice to do some music writing either way 🎼 https://t.co/gS0k70zrPL #spotifywrapped

This is the scene that awaited me when I tried to get on the train at Peckham North underground station. London is out of control

With Stone Roses' Mani sadly passing, a truly underrated bassist I think, and Ian Brown having long blocked me on here over a stupid covid dispute in '21, it feels like an end of an era, and a world away from the epic 2012 Heaton Park homecoming. Feeling quite sad about it all 😕

I'm not saying the BBC wasn't being dishonest with that clip, and completely needlessly so, but that Trump could suddenly sprout a conscience about truth and honesty is just...

The idea that Donald Trump could somehow sue the BBC for £1bn over an instance of 'dishonesty' remains the most laughable thing I've heard for many years.

The Panorama Trump speech edit was dumb & indefensible On Jan 6th Trump whipped up his followers to storm the Capital building. Both these things are true.

This last month was the best allegory of Musk’s army of England ‘patriots’: their mouth-foaming pack-animal reaction to a polite balanced opinion they didn’t like the sound of. These are your people Elon. This your 'Civil War' pinnacle. https://t.co/oqYVNN5gIl

But the closest he can get is prodding a horde of beery Tommy Robinson yobs during their day out in London where many of them piss all over its streets and abuse and attack its officers, addressing them 'live' like he's a wartime general. Delusions of cunty grandeur off the scale

It's been 2 years since Elon Musk started desperately banging his little “civil war in Europe” drum, even though that doesn’t make sense as a continent can’t be at civil war, yet he’s been absolutely straining to help ‘create’ a UK-wide one here.

QPR are in the top 6 for the first time since December 2022 For the first time in 124 league games we finish the day inside the top 6. We last ended the day in the top 6 after beating Preston in Neil Critchley's first game in charge

My Robert Redford connection is one day I watched this episode of Pointless where the question was 'Name a Robert Redford film' and most of the contestants couldn't name one Robert Redford film let alone a pointless one. That's what spurred me to apply 🏆 https://t.co/PcGlQY45ns
