Nigel Farage is not a leader of the party, nor a politician.

Maybe in the strict sense not a politician. But the public perception will be different.

Anyway, he's a great man and I hope he improves their ratings.

What the public perceives and what is the actual reality, is that he publicly declared that he was retiring from political life back in March this year. He is forever affiliated with the Brexit Party/Reform Party but only in a "honorary" way. He is not the leader of it, which Hugh has incorrectly stated that he is.

Nigel Farage is on GB news right now starting his new slot.

Can I just check what you’re saying - Nigel Farage, the founder,, and a current Director and Shareholder, of the Reform U.K. political party, is not a politician?

I wasn't aware a Director or shareholder of a entity, made someone a politician.

He is not in any elected position, he is not an MP, he is not a leader of a political party, so wind your feeble attempt at a "gotcha", because you have not and you are still wrong! :rolleyes:

Well, he needs to update his political party's Company House listing, then...

When the entity of which he is a director of is a Political Party, there's a bit of linkage there.

It will be interesting to see if the mainstream media pick this issue up. Good research, Hugh.

You could ask for a greeting on Cameo, for which he charges £75. I'd give a 'greeting' for free ;)

What a difference Farage is making. First class stuff as I watch it.

I could see the Farage show being one of the channel's more popular shows. The What the Farage? and Pints with Politicians show some thought has been given to the format. He's a skilled presenter who has built upon his Question Time and LBC gigs.

The definition of "Politician" seems to be pretty loose and varied, depending on where you look.

I rather liked these :D

At last, they’ve relented and GB News is going to start airing news bulletins. I really don’t understand why it wasn’t obvious to them from the start that a news channel should have regular news bulletins on it!
