I know you and facts exist in separate planes of the multiverse, but when his previous partners married him he wasn’t a multi-millionaire…

In fact, he was so poor in 2019 (two years after he got together with his current partner) Arron Banks had to support him (he didn’t declare this because it was a "private matter" (mmmm, I think we’ve heard that recently)).

Nigel Farage received £450,000 from the founder of pro-Brexit group Leave.EU in the year after the Brexit referendum.

Items paid for by Arron Banks included Mr Farage's London home, his car and trips to the US to meet Donald Trump.

A spokesman for Mr Banks confirmed the amount and what it had been used for, saying it was an "honour to help".

Asked about the funding following an investigation by Channel 4 News, external, Mr Farage - who now leads the Brexit party - said it was a private matter.

Dont forget his payments to OB to keep defending him

Farage helped get us away from the Brussels yoke and governments screwed it up.

You seem to want the UK to have the lower governance standards of Trump's America where loyalty to the cause gives you immunity from prosecution. Fortunately, we still do things a bit better here.

Quite why you can't defend Farage's stories and instead go off on some Brexit rant does not help your cause.

Where the heck do you get that from? Utterly preposterous.

My point on "playing the man" is that nobody among the Remainers here on the Forum has provided quantitative information on the economic benefits of rejoining the EU.

This country needs a government that supports and induces economic growth. The same sort of government as we've had for the past few years won't make a success of rejoining the EU.

Also, seen from today, a Farage government isn't going to cut it either. We've some way to go before thismess gets sorted.

But Farage is a great man. Kemi is a great woman. Labour is lunatic.

Not at all. Entirely evidence-based, you don't want Farage subject to UK rules because you like his politics - the Trump approach We need to hold all of our politicians to the highest standards.

Holding Farage to British standards by investigating the foreign five mill is not playing the man. The Brexit benefits are now clear - a reduction in GDP by 4% (US says it's even more), a sharp rise in military-aged illegals in small boats arriving on British shores and £ six mill+ in Farage's back pocket. But there's another thread to discuss the UK's relationship with the EU.

From any day, a Farage government is unlikely to cut it.

I think another issue is the West's decline and Asia's rise. How does this UK fit into this new landscape?

They are not illegal immigrants, Hugh. An important distinction.

I do sometimes wonder whether Farage actually cares about EU membership and if he's just been in it for the easy money. Ditto Johnson. Time will tell.

So why raise it if you were having a poke at Farage? He doesn't hate Europeans, he hates the EU and people who think they can crash into our country without permission.
