More to the point he was literally in government when these events took place so if anyone is complicit…
Chris Philp(Tory MP) says the government is "complicit in the cover up" of grooming gangs. #Ridge: That's a big statement to make... but when we're talking about something a serious as this... don't you think this demeans it slightly.

Putin’s parrot
In 2018, when Sergei and Yulia Skripal were poisoned and Dawn Sturgess was killed, Nigel Farage said that Britain had “jumped the gun” in saying that Russia was behind the attack. This week, an independent inquiry has found that the evidence the Russian state was behind the

Discredited because you’ve been on it so often? (And btw it’s licence fee.)
BBC Question Time is an utterly discredited programme. No wonder half a million people refuse to pay the license fee every year.

"He doesn't live here…. what right has he got to interfere with our democracy?" Richard Tice talking about the Thailand based crypto billionaire Chakrit Sakunkrit, who has just donated £9m to reform. Sorry… my mistake! He was talking about George Soros. https://t.co/eRbQpIshsy

What hypocrisy. Unless of course @CamillaTominey believes that is not for her, or @GBNEWS or @Telegraph to decide whether Farage is fit for office. Which would obviously require them all to be impartial on the subject and subject him to normal scrutiny.

🚩🚩🚩🔥 A UK inquiry finds Putin authorised the chemical weapons attack on British soil in Salisbury in 2018. Just a few day’s earlier, a senior Reform/Brexit Party figure pleads guilty to taking Russian 🇷🇺 bribes. This is no longer a story about ‘bad actors’. It looks like

Hilarious. So Reform want the chap who was actually Tory home office minister and presided over the complete fiasco on our borders to be their latest recruit. Reform are just failed Tories.
BREAKING Nigel Farage says he "would be more than happy to talk to" Robert Jenrick about the shadow Justice secretary joining Reform UK. He admits people in Reform UK want the pair to enter talks. More on @GBNEWS.

Yet again Farage parrots Russian talking points. Just as he did over the Salisbury attack.
Hidden in a very eventful press conference, this answer by Nigel Farage about Ukraine does feel significant The criticism of Zelensky/Ukraine will surely be used as an attack line by Labour

Labour source: “First he didn’t say anything antisemitic, then it was a witch hunt, then no one could remember because it was 50 years ago and now he essentially admits he did say offensive things, but without malice. He should apologise to the Jewish community.”
'I'm sick to death of hypocrisy from the BBC.' Watch the extraordinary moment Reform UK Leader Nigel Farage confronts the BBC over its coverage of racism allegations, telling a journalist he’s ‘done’ with him while demanding an apology from the broadcaster.
