BBC Laura Kuenssberg interviews Nigel Farage over foreign donor talks

If they win the election it WILL be a national emergency but not in the way he thinks

Does Farage ( N ) know where Clacton on Sea is???

“And the fools believe him!”

edg59.bsky.social6

Yes: he'd be off in Florida or making videos, not in Parliament. Tice would be in Dubai. Jenrick would be in the dark eldritch shadows of his secret lair.

Laurence Bowden5

Mind you, if Reform ever were to win a General Election and if Farage were to become PM & form a government then he’d be spot on. It would be a national emergency!! The country would collapse and go into meltdown with those clowns in charge. The Truss fiasco would seem a breeze.

Despite his ongoing boycott of the #BBC

No he always chooses the interviewer Ferrari first as they’re cosy in same members clubs!! Followed by Mason & Kuensburg for the easy ride

Ian St James2

I think it’s more likely, given its agenda, the BBC chooses him.

Meg1

Have you seen his interview with Laura K? She gave him the 3rd degree!

Noted, preference for straightforward exchanges observed

Good, it's time for good investigative journalists to really start digging. RefUK was built on a mound of corruption and there's ALWAYS more to find!

C. Walters3

"Hubris, arrogance" and maybe not particularly high IQ? However apparently well educated! well educated!

comfort4blynumb.bsky.social3

People in Clacton voted for Fartage because he's racist just like they are. They don't care about his finances just the fact that he doesn't like brown people and until rest of UK realise this then he'll carry on stirring up division and hate

I really hope so. Just imagine 😱

Sarah Roberts1

But no mention on tonight’s BBC news.

Thoughts & prayers to Chris Mason during this difficult time…. you’ve tried so hard & it *is* appreciated …

Waterbloke2

I would love it if C4 have a little bit more than they have shown so far. Post the initial expose, allow him try to lie his way out and set up his story. Then, show him to be clearly lying with another release. Please let it be so!🙏

Yes! Ferrari would have ripped any other party leader to shreds with his angry, vicious, pre scripted gotchas. He was clearly tickling Farage's toes! Shame on them all. Farage's lackeys.

To talk about entrapment, or getting caught as it is usually called.

Cuthbert - A Music Project1

Whatever good stuff he does, if Burnham doesn't get seriously tough with this kind of media bias (and OFCOM !) he won't last any longer than Starmer.

The Ragged Trousered Philatilist4

The number of times I have to state that “they are not all the same”. It started when they used that defence for Johnson and has really taken off to defend the Salmon blazered, oyster eating ‘mon of the people’ Even more dangerous than Johnson Truly a cunt.

Ron 🇨🇦 🇲🇽4

The voters only have to look across the pond and see the destruction a vote for a corrupt politician brings .. I guess Brexit wasn't destructive enough

Nik Love-Gittins3

I am worried that nothing sticks to Farage and Reform. Anyone else would have been hounded out of public life by the media, but they always treat them like a special case. It’s almost like the people behind them have too much invested to allow them to fail. Same with Trump. Nothing works.

Gytha Ogg2

The problem is that a large cohort of our media ‘normalise‘ what #5milfarage does. In the same way the US media report on what the Orange Murder Clown does as ‘normal’ presidential action.

crucialbreeze.bsky.social1

He’s been best mates with convicted criminal and openly fascist Steve Bannon for more than a decade . What more did people need to know ?

Lou2

…and thus far he’s got away with it. 🤬

Ilikecaketoo (UK)1

The thought of him in No 10 or them in Govt sends chills down my spine. Can you imagine the corruption. We’d be like a mini USA.

meribel123.bsky.social1

I think he’s going to be in real Trouble soon!

Andy Wyatt57

"No problem." or "No! Problem?"

Paulb10

… but he wasn’t listening (apparently)

Long Covid Lady6

From his inflection, I’d say it was a statement. If it was a question, he didn’t appear to wait for an answer (though he could claim it was edited)

BrianB6

The latter. He didn't raise his voice as if to ask it as a question. Nailed on.

KS_19683

More lying from Farage. We can hear for ourselves what he said.

Informed Takes12

Reform are dangerous, and they need to be locked up for inciting violence.

punslinger1.bsky.social11

Jenrick has been on Facebook this evening making out what a great day he has had doing the media rounds socking it to those leftie media types. He really is deranged. Many of these clips will come back to haunt him in the future.

jw-here.bsky.social6

Looks like assault. And Jenrick (still an MP, somehow) seems not concerned at all, dismissing it. Is that allowed for an MP -- It brings disrepute to all MPs and the Commons as a whole. And Farage just calls it "Boring". How does this sit with the Commons' Code of Conduct?

September5

Jenrick can try to style it out but that’s more support that will drain away. I think it’s almost universally understood to be a bad thing to cheer on lawlessness from a supposedly pro law party. I

Pete Bangert4

Honest Bob Generic once again demonstrating that he's a legend in his own lunchtime. Why anyone gives him airtime is beyond me.

Politics was never meant to be about money. If he's after money, he can go back to banking. There, though, he'd have to at least turn up for work...

ala8.bsky.social1

Corrupt sod, i watched his interview with Kuntsberg, always about himself and no one else

Old sea dog1

Whoever said that Farage was straight?

Jacob Bogle1

Just as human trafficking "looks bad" for Trump & the Republicans, but right-wing party bases seem to have stopped caring about the grossly illegal conduct of their fav politicos - while the politicians have simultaneously lost any sense of shame or ethics

CScotty 👨‍💻1

I love how it shows how stupid everyone involved is. Farage could not even leave paltry Cameo money on the table, so it was clear to me he would also snap up dark money. The dark money donors wasted so much money on this lame duck politician who was too greedy to be viable.

Jayme M1

We already know how that goes over here in the US. You want a leader who can listen to, and understand, those around him...

Main Tenant1

Geoff may rhyme but “Sorry I’m going a bit Mutton Nige” has a certain ring to it.

Steve Coogan Fan1

Thanks to RAACN, all I see is...

Jillian3

He ordered 'half a dozen'. I remember thinking, what does that tell us about him, soneone suggests they order four, he orders first and exceeded the suggested amount by 50%. Greedy greedy greedy!!!

craigyp56.bsky.social3

Farage doesn't HAVE to live in the public eye. He is a wealthy man, but will never be wealthy enough. He does what he does, purely because of his ego and his avarice.

Red Yūgen3

He can retire anytime he wants. That’s the privilege the majority of people don’t have. We don’t get paid £5m - plus a Westminster salary - plus expenses. So he can go cry a river elsewhere, nobody cares.

Stuart Hemingway2

It’s always all about him, what about all the other MPs who have threats placed upon them.

Tommy Mackay2

Washed down with Black Velvet.

Ken Tindell3

I’m starting to think calling that referendum was a mistake.

Mark Purchase 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🇪🇸 🇪🇺2

At least they described him correctly Far right politician

Neil M2

All to settle a public school boy spat

MakeBritainNiceAgain1

Exactly. There is a clear and obvious timeline.

In parliament 24 hours a day? So, to the nearest hour, about 24 more than he spends there currently?
