Truth To Power: Pro-Trump Nigel Farage Aligns with Putin on Ukraine

Mar 8, 2025 | This week saw the latest chapter in Nigel Farage’s never-ending quest to be the most controversial man in British politics. Farage has decided to double down on cosying up to Donald Trump and, by extension, Vladimir Putin, while turning against Ukraine and criticising its president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Farage, the man most responsible for a Brexit avidly welcomed by Putin’s Russia, and which has weakened Britain on the global stage, that same Farage is now overtly siding with Putin over Zelenskyy, a democratically elected leader fighting for his country’s survival. …

Journalist Exposes Nigel Farage's Empty Promises in Heated BBC Interview!

Feb 4, 2025 | In this explosive interview, BBC journalist Emma Barnett exposes Nigel Farage, leader of Reform UK, as an "empty suit" when pressed on his vision for the UK's future relationship with the EU. Farage confidently critiques Keir Starmer's EU visit and outlines what the UK shouldn't do, but when asked for concrete solutions, he stumbles and pivots to discussing a trade deal with America. Watch as Barnett skillfully holds Farage accountable, revealing the lack of substance behind his rhetoric. This is a must-watch for anyone interested in UK politics, Brexit, and the future of Europe.

Michael Lambert: How Farage and Brexit Wrecked the British Economy

Jan 25, 2025 | Nigel Farage is a conman. He is only interested in his own fame and making money. For twenty years he was a member of the European parliament during which time he complained and argued incessantly for the UK to leave the EU ich resulted in the disastrous Brexit which has caused so much harm to the UK economy and reputation.

Nigel Farage is now an MP and yet he earns more than £1 million per year from outside activities and claims that he received more than £2 million in expenses over a ten-year period whilst he was an MEP.

He recently told reporters in America that he could be the next UK prime minister.

Rachel Reeves, the Chancellor of the Exchequer attended the World Economic Forum in Davos this week accompanied by Johnathan Reynolds the UK Secretary of State for Business and Trade where they were both interviewed by Bloomberg . The interview was a disaster in which Reynolds demonstrated his lack of understanding of his job or how to create any growth in the UK economy.

It is difficult to see how Keir Starmer and Reeves can survive given the constant flow of bad economic news. One person who might be able to save the situation is the First Secretary to the Treasury, Darren Jones.

Farage Is a Fake and Only a Matter of Time before He Is Found Out

Jan 19, 2025 | I do not wish ill on Farage - and certainly do not anticipate his "demise" but I certainly predict a time when he will have to deliver something of value rather than carping against the establishment and making a tidy buck on the side.


I have never liked Farage. The man is a fraud. He is in politics only for his own ends: he's in politics to feather his own nest. He laughs all the way to the bank even while he is impoverishing the masses. Whom do I dislike the most: Farage, Trump, or Musk? Difficult question! The answer would be complex. When all is said and done, they are all self-serving and self-aggrandizing. Bad actors. – © Mark Alexander

Farage and Truss Attend UK Launch of US Climate Denial Group

THE GUARDIAN: British arm of Heartland, which has taken oil and Republican funding, to be led by ex-Ukip head Lois Perry

Climate science deniers are lining up a political offensive in Britain after a US lobby group opened a UK branch which is already working with Nigel Farage.

The Reform UK leader was the guest of honour at the launch of Heartland UK/Europe, which is to be headed by a former leader of Ukip and climate denier.

The former prime minister Liz Truss was seen at the event in London, alongside current Tory MPs Andrew Griffith, who is the shadow trade minister, and Christopher Chope.

The establishment of this UK branch of the Heartland Institute – which has links to the incoming Trump administration and has drawn on funding from companies including ExxonMobil and wealthy US Republican donors – comes as Farage seeks to make hostility to net zero a centrepiece of Reform’s electoral pitch. Reform MPs have used speaking time in parliament to push for the scrapping of net zero targets and to call for new coalmines. » | Helena Horton and Ben Quinn | Wednesday, January 15, 2025

Twelve Reform UK Councillors to Resign over Nigel Farage’s Leadership

THE GUARDIAN: Exclusive: Departures will add to pressure on party leader after Elon Musk said he was ‘not up to the job’

A dozen Reform UK councillors have given notice of their intention to resign en masse in protest at Nigel Farage’s leadership.

The resignations could come as early as Friday evening and will add to pressure on the Reform leader after Elon Musk said he was “not up to the job”. They are timed to overshadow the party’s south-east conference this weekend.

The councillors alleged the party was being run in an “autocratic manner” and accused Farage of “disloyalty” to long-term members. There are splits within the party over the jailed far-right activist Tommy Robinson, who is supported by Musk. » | Ben Quinn | Friday, January 10, 2025

The Debate: Transatlantic Trolling: What Is Europe's Answer to Musk's Attacks? • FRANCE 24 English

Jan 6, 2025 | Elon Musk really doesn't like British Prime Minister Keir Starmer. This Monday saw Starmer hit back at Musk after days of silence, saying the world's richest man was spreading "lies and misinformation" with his attacks on the British leader and one of his ministers on X. More broadly, what is Europe to do about X owner Musk's trolling of sitting governments and support for the far right?

Musk's Dad: Tommy Robinson Will Lead Britain, He's Like Mandela

Jan 7, 2025 | “History will tell you that there's a very good chance that Tommy Robinson will one day be the prime minister of England.”

Tommy Robinson’s imprisonment will lead to him becoming leader as it did with Nelson Mandela after he was sentenced to life in prison in South Africa in 1964, says Elon Musk’s father Errol Musk.


Tommy Robinson understands the problem this country and the West has with Islam pretty well — Did he read my book years ago, I wonder? — but he is hardly prime minister material.

Why is this Musk family interfering in the political affairs of other countries? Who do the Musks think they are? Having loads of dosh doesn’t give them the right to steer the politics of Western nations to the far right!

As an aside, it is pretty obvious to me that the Musks have got far more money than they have class (or common sense)! My advice to Musk and his father: STFU! – © Mark Alexander

Musk: Nigel Farage 'Doesn't Have What It Takes’ to Lead Reform

Jan 5, 2025 | Elon Musk has waded even deeper into British politics, using his X platform to declare that Reform UK needs a new leader.

For days he's been laying into the government online over the historic grooming gangs scandal.

Nigel Farage - who's spent the last two days defending Mr Musk as a 'hero' of free speech - has brushed off the comment as a disagreement.


NYT:

In About-Face, Musk Trashes Farage, U.K.’s Anti-Immigrant Populist: Elon Musk, the billionaire backer of Donald J. Trump, had been promoting Nigel Farage. But on Sunday Mr. Musk said Mr. Farage “doesn’t have what it takes.” »

Elon Musk Turns on Nigel Farage and Calls for New Leader of Reform

THE GUARDIAN: It is unclear what prompted Musk to post message on X saying Farage ‘doesn’t have what it takes’ to be Reform UK’s leader

Elon Musk has said Nigel Farage “doesn’t have what it takes” to be Reform UK’s leader, hours after Farage refused to condemn the billionaire businessman for his inflammatory comments about Keir Starmer and Jess Phillips.

In a surprise intervention, less than three weeks after Musk met Farage at Donald Trump’s Florida home amid reports he could donate $100m (£80m) to Reform, Musk used X, the social media platform he owns, to say: “The Reform party needs a new leader. Farage doesn’t have what it takes.”

It was not clear what prompted Musk, who has tweeted numerous times recently about UK politics, to change his mind about the Reform leader.

But Farage indicated it could have been due to disagreement about Tommy Robinson, the jailed far-right anti-Islam agitator whom Musk has characterised as a political prisoner, but whom Farage condemns.

“Well, this is a surprise!” Farage wrote on X after Musk’s tweet. “Elon is a remarkable individual but on this I am afraid I disagree. My view remains that Tommy Robinson is not right for Reform and I never sell out my principles.” » | Peter Walker, Senior political correspondent | Sunday, January 5, 2025

The Problem with Nigel Farage's Membership Numbers

Dec 26, 2024 | Reform UK has beat the Tories in 'membership' numbers, but there are a few problems with that. Nigel Farage celebrated the figures while he was at a Boxing Day Hunt as a true man of the people, and he claimed the figures saw a rise of the new and a decline of the old. However there are some problems with these numbers.

The Threat of Elon Musk's Money

Dec 22, 2024

That hypocrite Nigel Farage doesn’t care about “loss of sovereignty” now, does he? As long as the money is going into his coffers, he doesn’t give a damn about loss of sovereignty.

As for Musk and his gazillions, let him shove his political donation where the monkey shoves its nuts! The UK is enough of a plutocracy as it is, and our democracy is very weak already. We don’t need these tech-billionaires to come here and weaken it still further. – © Mark Alexander

The Guardian View on Elon Musk and UK Politics: Interference In Plain Sight

THE GUARDIAN – EDITORIAL: American tech billionaires are no more entitled to meddle in British democracy than other foreign oligarchs

Under most circumstances, a British politician seeking cash from a foreign oligarch would make the approach discreetly. Recipient and donor would worry about the relationship looking improper even if the deal could be done without breaching UK electoral law.

Nigel Farage has no such qualms. The Reform leader has boasted of his recent meeting with Elon Musk, the world’s richest person, at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home. Nick Candy, a former Conservative donor and now the Reform party’s treasurer, was also present. Photographs and statements from the British visitors testify to their eagerness that the meeting – and the fact that money was discussed – attract maximum publicity.

Mr Musk has denied reports that he is considering making a multimillion-pound donation to Reform. But he has a proven appetite for meddling in British politics. He has used his X platform to attack Sir Keir Starmer, amplify radical rightwing rhetoric and post inflammatory remarks, including a forecast of civil war in the aftermath of riots over the summer. » | Editorial | Wednesday, December 18, 2024

Is Elon Musk Planning to Buy the UK Election via Farage?

Dec 18, 2024 | Nigel Farage was not listening to the concerns of the people of Clacton this week but instead in America to meet with the richest man in the world, Elon Musk, to discuss how the billionaire could help Reform UK get a bigger foothold in UK politics. This is very bad for ordinary people as I explain in this video, and what is also sad is how the media find the whole thing very entertaining.

Farage & Johnson Are to Blame for the Post-Brexit Mess We Are In

Oct 5, 2024 | The UK economy has been badly damaged by Brexit. However, the Conservative government made matters very much worse once Boris Johnson became prime minister. Johnson was not a serious politician and during his premiership dishonesty, corruption and incompetence became the norm.

The Covid19 pandemic brought an urgent need for PPE which, instead of being supplied through normal channels was supplied by companies recommended by friends of Tory politicians, leading to widespread supply of faulty or useless PPE. In the meantime, companies which had never supplied PPE before made fortunes.

Last week, the Conservative Party Conference took place in Birmingham. Liz Truss, despite being the shortest-serving and least-successful prime minister ever was present at the event.

Robert Jenrick, Tom Tugendhat, Kemi Badenoch and James Cleverly all made speeches in their bids to become party leader. Jenrick and Cleverly are likely to be the two candidates to be subject to an election amongst Tory Party members.

In this video, I also discuss Priti Patel and Nadhim Zahawi. Patel because she received money for her failed leadership election bid from someone closely connected with someone for whom she helped obtain PPE contracts, and Zahawi because he claimed expenses in order to heat his stables and because of a £5 million penalty he paid HMRC in respect of capital gains tax which he claims he forgot to declare.

Finally I remind viewers how it was Nigel Farage who was principally responsible for Brexit, and it was Boris Johnson who presided over corruption, dishonesty and incompetence which has led the UK to being in the dire situation we now.
