With girl friends like that, I can see why Farage is constantly smiling!

• Then it became a payment for his Brexit campaigning.
• £1.4m of the £5m wasn't used to pay for his house, because the house was funded from his I'm a Celebrity appearance.
• His accounts show the house wasn't bought using funds from his I'm a Celebrity appearance.

Farage may be able to fool some people but I suspect the Parliamentary Standards Commissioner won't be one of them.

If there is a by-election in Southend, will British Reform voters be as forgiving as American MAGA voters? Perhaps his flock will fall for a line about his being victimised by the establishment? He can at least draw upon his Coutts Bank experience to back up this line.

The first three are connected and all are true.

I don’t know about the issue about the house, simply that ‘I’m a Celebrity’ simply enabled him to buy it. It doesn’t matter which account he took it from - he’s probably got multiple accounts.

I wouldn’t take any notice of smear campaigns unless a subsequent investigation proved them to be true.

If you think Farage can’t be trusted, do you not have even greater qualms about Starmer or Polanski? Starmer is breaking his promises and U-turning more often than a drunk driver who has hopelessly lost his way and Polanski lives in a fantasy world. But you focus on Farage, whose stated objective is to repair the economy, cut waste and stop illegal immigration in its tracks ( and he even has a plan to do this!).

I know who’d I would prefer to be in charge. Badenoch is good too, but her left wing keeps throwing obstacles in the way of achieving what the electorate want.

Yes, and the EU is driven by the bureaucrats, not the politicians.

Why is that do you think? Is it because he could actually become PM?
Is it because he likes to highlight some 'problems' in the UK that they daren't mention?
Is it because they see people turning away from the mainstream politics that have failed for so many years, and now fear for the end of their ride on the gravy train?

Answers on a postcard please . . actually no, answers on a voting form

You’ve got that right, Carth.
