It is depressing that in 2025 you can build a £100 million YouTube channel by giving airtime – and therefore legitimacy – to people who openly praise Hitler or flirt with Holocaust denial. Fuentes isn’t an “edgy contrarian” or a misunderstood provocateur. He is a white

This clip from 2019 of Matt Frei asking Farage about Arron Banks funding his lifestyle is wild considering recent events. He’s not only walking with convicted Russian asset, Nathan Gill, but at the end when again asked who’s paying for it all, what’s his answer? “Russians!”
