Revealed: Nigel Farage Has Court Judgment for Debt of Almost £10K

May 21, 2026 | Channel 4 News has uncovered evidence that Nigel Farage owes almost £10,000 after a claim was made against him that resulted in a county court judgment in 2024.

Reform UK told us today that Mr Farage never received notification of the claim and had been unaware of the judgment until we brought it to his attention.

The details come amid increased scrutiny on the Reform UK leader's finances after it emerged that he had accepted a £5million gift from a Crypto billionaire.



This all stinks of yet more corruption to me. These days, in politics and at the very top of society, there appears to be nary a person who cannot be bought! Moreover, not only are these people corrupt, but they flaunt their corruption and corruptibility, too — with pride! Shamelessness appears to be en vogue! — © Mark Alexander

Michael Lambert: Trump's $700 Billion Disaster | Why He Thinks He's Greater Than Alexander

May 22, 2026 | Donald Trump, the coiffured orange buffoon, has started a war that's cost the world $700 billion — and he genuinely believes history will remember him alongside Alexander the Great.

In this video I explain why the exact opposite is true. From his delusions of imperial grandeur — a Versailles ballroom, an Arc de Trump, his face on banknotes and passports — to a cabinet of sycophants and a Treasury Secretary who couldn't tell the truth about who pays tariffs, this is the story of a president who has lost his grip on reality.

And it gets worse. His war on Iran has thrown the Middle East into chaos, blocked the Strait of Hormuz, and the economic fallout is hitting Britain too — higher petrol prices, disrupted trade, all on top of the damage already done by Brexit.

Meanwhile, his biggest cheerleader in the UK is Nigel Farage — the same man who gave you Brexit and told you we'd have £350 million a week for the NHS. If you think Trump's America is a disaster, imagine Farage's Britain. …



I loved Michael Lambert’s colourful description of the failed president as the “coiffured orange buffoon” in the White House! It caused me to burst into laughter!

I totally agree with Michael’s synopsis. Both of the situation in America and of the situation in the world under Trump, and of the distinctly possible scenario of Britain under our very own home-grown buffoon, Nigel Farage.

His assessment of the situation is absolutely spot-on, but oh so depressing! All we can hope for, I suppose, is a miracle to help us avert total and utter disaster. — © Mark Alexander

Rob Groves: The Crypto Billions behind Farage & Reform UK

May 16, 2026 | Nigel Farage is under formal investigation by the Parliamentary Standards Commissioner after it emerged that Thailand-based crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne secretly handed him a £5 million personal gift. Just before Farage reversed his decision and stood for Parliament in 2024. He never declared it. But this isn't just a Farage story. Harborne has a remarkable track record of donating to right-wing British politicians and watching government money flow back toward his business interests. He gave Boris Johnson a million pounds, and two months later, Johnson's government handed an £80m MoD contract to a defence company where Harborne was the largest shareholder. His total donations to Reform UK now exceed £22 million. That's roughly two-thirds of everything the party has ever raised. And the timeline of Farage's sudden conversion to cryptocurrency evangelism tells its own story.

Leader of Reform U.K. Says £5 Million Gift Was ‘Reward’ for Brexit

THE NEW YORK TIMES: Nigel Farage, the leader of the populist right-wing party, had previously said the money was for personal security.

Since news surfaced that Nigel Farage received a gift of 5 million pounds from a cryptocurrency billionaire, the leader of Britain’s populist right-wing Reform U.K. party has argued that the money was for his personal security.

On Thursday he offered another explanation, saying that it was “a reward for campaigning for Brexit.”

His comments, made in a video interview with the British outlet The Sun, came as the British Parliament’s standards watchdog confirmed that Mr. Farage was under investigation for not declaring receipt of the £5 million (about $6.7 million), which came from Christopher Harborne, a Briton who lives in Thailand.

Mr. Farage argues that the gift was unconditional, was made before he won a seat in the general election in 2024, and that there was no requirement to declare it. » | Stephen Castle | Reporting from London | Thursday, May 14, 2026

Back to the Future of Brexit

May 13, 2026 | Ten years after the vote to leave the European Union, the rise of populism and increasingly radical leftism could be a foretaste of the American political future.


One can but weep for this country! Brexit has put us into a fine old mess! Brexit has brought us impoverishment, no opportunities for economic growth, and nothing to look forward to. Britons’ rights as citizens have been stripped away, replacing them with a few feudal ‘rights’ as subjects of the King, and little else. Prior to that ridiculous, ill-thought-out Brexit, Britons had a decent future. They could move to any EU country and work there, start a business there, set up home there, avail themselves of free healthcare there, travel visa-free there, and for those who love their pets, because of the ‘EU Pet Travel Scheme’, they could even move there with their beloved dogs, cats, or ferrets! Now, just to travel there involves all manner of hurdles to jump. One could call it the steeplechase of the century!

One of the main architects of Brexit and all the troubles and travails that Brexit brought with it is, of course, that infamous, self-serving, self-enriching snake oil salesman, Nigel Farage. And how the naïve and ill-informed have been taken in by him! They have even gone and cast their vote for him in recent local elections, voting for the very man who has made them poorer! Talk about turkeys voting for Christmas, this was it! — © Mark Alexander

Farage Criticised for Backing Preacher Who Says Homosexuality Is ‘Abomination’

THE GUARDIAN: Reform UK leader records video with Essex pastor to support his battle against council banning order

Nigel Farage has been criticised for giving his full support to a Christian church leader who preached that homosexuality was an “abomination” and would lead to eternity in hell.

The Reform UK leader recorded a video with Stephen Clayden after Colchester council applied for a banning order to limit his street preaching.

In the clip posted on his YouTube channel, Farage assured Clayden that he was “fully on your side” in the dispute and offered to enlist the help of contacts at the Free Speech Union campaign group.

Clayden told Farage the council was objecting to the volume and some of the content of his preaching, including his references to hell and judgment. However, he has since acknowledged that the council raised concerns not just about the volume of his preaching but also his church’s warnings against homosexuality.

Footage of Clayden preaching last month, available on social media, shows him saying: “All adulterers, all fornicators, all sodomites, all drunkards, all thieves, all blasphemers, all liars, all mockers. Their home shall be in the lake of fire … we are here telling you what the word of God says.”

In the same session, he told passersby: “They hear about words in the Bible like judgment and sin and repentance. They don’t like hearing the holy words of God … they are offended by what the Bible says when the Bible says homosexuality is an abomination.”

His Bread of Life church also preached at Pride Week events in Essex last year and Clayden told a meeting the Bible described homosexuality as “vile, disgusting and wicked”, “a sin so wicked and detestable it was worthy of death”, and the “filthy conduct of the wicked”. » | Rowena Mason | Whitehall editor | Thursday, May 14, 2026

Clayden is such an ignorant man! Clearly, he knows NOTHING about HOMOSEXUALITY. And, seemingly, little about his favourite book, The Bible, either! He needs to do some serious studying of Christianity and its principles before going out PREACHING morals to others.

He talks about homosexuality being an abomination, and about homosexuals having to live in the next life in “eternal Hell”! (He would know, wouldn’t he?!) However, I have got some news for this poor, benighted soul: For many homosexuals in this world, for many homosexuals who have suffered the misfortune of being born in countries which have not yet been kissed by enlightened thought, their “eternal Hell” is in THIS LIFE, they do not have to wait for the NEXT life, wait for the HEREAFTER to experience it! Rest assured, in the Hereafter, God will take care of them for, after all, they, too, are God’s children, God's children who have been created in His image! If we are to believe the Christian message, God loves ALL of HIS CHILDREN — without exception and unconditionally.

Furthermore, there are many academics and theologians who believe that Jesus Himself might well have been gay. Over the years. There has been much speculation about this. This preacher should check out this Guardian article. This will be a good start for this man’s studies.

I should further like to add that Jesus came for ALL, but he was particularly concerned with the marginalised and the rejected. And over the centuries, gays have been nothing if not marginalised and rejected, even here in the Occident until recent years. Even today, in many countries they suffer great indignities, and in several countries which are ruled by the IGNORANT, the BENIGHTED, and the RUTHLESS, they are put to death! If that’s not Hell on Earth, I don’t know what is! — © Mark Alexander

Why Bizarre Melania Moves Have White House Alarmed | Inside Trump's Head

May 9, 2026 | Michael Wolff and Joanna Coles unpack a strange new chapter in the Trump orbit as Melania Trump publishes a cliché-ridden Mother’s Day op-ed, sparking questions about whether the first lady is quietly building a business identity separate from Donald Trump himself.

From Melania’s “strategic absences” and growing concerns within White House to Wolff’s update on his legal battle with the first lady, the discussion moves through media capitulation, Trump’s escalating attacks on ABC and the press, and a startling Virginia court decision that could reshape the 2026 midterms by giving Republicans a major structural advantage.

The episode also explores Britain’s political upheaval under the rise of Nigel Farage, mounting fears that Trump can manipulate the electoral system despite worsening political headwinds, and the eerie details surrounding Epstein’s death and purported suicide note, which Wolff says sounded disturbingly Trumpian.


„Nigel Farage galoppiert nun Richtung Downing Street“

FRANKFURTER ALLGEMEINE: Nach dem Debakel der Labour-Partei bei den Regionalwahlen in Großbritannien bekräftigt Regierungschef Swinney seine Forderung nach der Unabhängigkeit Schottlands. Sein Land müsse vor „der Wahl einer Farage-Regierung“ geschützt sein.

Nach dem Debakel der Labour-Partei bei den Regionalwahlen in Großbritannien hat der schottische Regierungschef John Swinney seine Forderung nach Unabhängigkeit für seinen Landesteil erneuert. „Nigel Farage galoppiert nun Richtung Downing Street“, sagte Swinney am Samstag mit Blick auf den Chef der rechtspopulistischen Partei Reform UK. Die Aussicht auf eine Regierung unter Führung der Reform UK sei sehr wahrscheinlich. „Wir müssen als unabhängiges Land davor geschützt sein, von der Wahl einer Farage-Regierung betroffen und beeinflusst zu werden.“ » | Quelle: AFP | Samstag, 9. Mai 2026

Hoffentlich irrt sich Herr Swinney! Großbritannien steckt wegen ihm und seinem unsinnigen Brexit schon genug in der Klemme! Ein paar Jahre unter seiner Führung würden die Zerstörung vollends besiegeln! Farage und seine Partei sind Großbritanniens Antwort auf MAGA. Das sagt doch alles! Farage und seine Anhänger würden dem Land immensen Schaden zufügen, wenn man ihnen die Chance dazu gäbe. Hoffentlich ist die britische Wählerschaft nicht so leichtsinnig, für eine Farage-Regierung zu stimmen! — © Mark Alexander

Rob Groves: Reform UK, Bringing the USA’s Project 2025 to Britain

May 9, 2026 | Nigel Farage's Reform UK had a big night at the local elections this week. But before anyone hands them the keys to Westminster, here's what a year of Reform UK in power actually looks like. Broken promises on council tax. Rising pothole complaints. Care home closures. Racist and homophobic candidates slipping through their supposedly world-class vetting process. Untraceable crypto donations. And deep, documented ties to Trump's Project 2025, Viktor Orbán's Hungary, and the American far right's CPAC network. Reform UK is a franchise operation, and the head office is in Washington DC.


Excellent synopsis. Reform UK is a motley bunch of frauds. It is to be hoped that they never get anywhere near the actual levers of power. — © Mark Alexander

Michael Lambert: Why Reform UK Won't Take Power Despite Farage's Rise

May 9, 2026 | As expected, Reform UK under Nigel Farage has triumphed in this week's local elections, but it will not win a general election, and Farage will never become Prime Minister.

In this video, I explain why. Many of the votes cast for Reform UK were protest votes from disaffected Labour and Conservative voters. Many are likely to vote differently in a general election.

In this video, I highlight some of the content of the party’s manifesto, or 'Contract with the People', much of which is clearly unachievable as confirmed by the Institute of Fiscal Studies.

Policies include massive tax reductions and reducing the NHS waiting list from 7.25 million to zero in two years.

I also quote details of some of the many Reform UK councillors who have appeared in the press for various offences such as racism and hate speech.

Finally, I comment on the most prominent members of Reform UK, such as Lee Anderson, Suella Braverman, Zia Yusuf, Richard Tice, Robert Jenrick, Nadhim Zahawi and Nigel Farage who acccepted a gift of £5 million from a crypto currency millionaire living in Thailand, and how Farage now promotes crypto currency.



Excellent synopsis. I laughed more listening to this video by Michael Lambert than usual. It’s his droll humour that does it! 😊 Reform UK are such a motley bunch anyway, yet they all have several things in common, namely dishonesty, racism, fantasy, a love of Trump, and a hatred of the European Union. (I’m sure there are other characteristics which haven’t immediately sprung to mind.)

I hope Michael is right about the Party never coming to power. It would be a disaster.

Bottom line: I understand people’s protest votes; but I do not understand how so many people could possibly vote for a man who is the ultimate source of all that ails the country and its economy. — © Mark Alexander

Au Royaume-Uni, Keir Starmer fragilisé après la cuisante défaite des travaillistes face au parti de Nigel Farage

LE FIGARO : Le premier ministre exclut de démissionner, même si le Labour a subi de lourds revers dans ces élections locales qui avaient valeur de test et confirment la fragmentation du paysage politique britannique.

Les pertes sont lourdes, très lourdes même, mais le premier ministre britannique entend rester au front. Keir Starmer a promis de poursuivre le combat, afin de tenir sa promesse d’apporter le « changement » en Grande-Bretagne, malgré les revers subis par son parti aux élections locales. Mais il apparaît de plus en plus fragilisé, alors que le grand vainqueur du scrutin, le parti Reform UK de Nigel Farage, a souvent laminé les travaillistes dans leurs fiefs traditionnels.

Ces résultats du Labour pourraient être les pires jamais obtenus par un parti aux élections locales depuis le début du siècle. Le parti au pouvoir pourrait perdre quelque 1200 sièges en Angleterre, un résultat qui se rapproche des prévisions les plus pessimistes. En moyenne, le vote travailliste a chuté de 16 points par rapport à 2022, et même de 19 points par rapport à 2024. Cette baisse est particulièrement marquée dans les bastions du parti du centre et du nord de l’Angleterre ainsi que dans les quartiers à forte population musulmane. Plus de 5 000 sièges d’élus locaux étaient en jeu en Angleterre tandis que des scrutins renouvelaient les parlements gallois et écossais. La perte du contrôle du Pays de Galles pourrait être un revers historique. » | Par Arnaud De La Grange | vendredi 8 mai 2026

Réservé aux abonnés

Ces résultats ne devraient surprendre personne. C'était un désastre annoncé. Keir Starmer semble ignorer l'essence même de la mentalité britannique, du mode de vie britannique. De ce fait, sa politique autoritaire ne reflète pas les aspirations de l'électorat. Si Starmer veut redresser la barre, il doit abandonner sans délai toutes ses politiques absurdes et intrusives, et surtout, il doit relancer une économie atone. Et ce, de toute urgence ! — © Mark Alexander

It’s Time UK Media Reminded Farage How We Got into This Mess in the First Place - BREXIT

May 5, 2026 | Let’s call this bull**** out TOGETHER

The 200,000 illegal migrants figure Farage is using is over several years and let’s remind ourselves how we got into this mess in the first place - BREXIT

And now in threatening to punish those parts of the country where people don’t vote his way, the Reform party leader is betraying the basic principles of democracy – it’s shameless and grotesque bullying which shows nothing but contempt for voters.



Unfortunately, plenty of Brits have been taken in with this shyster’s panaceas. I shall never forgive him for Brexit and for hoodwinking the nation into voting for a pig in poke. Brexit was always destined to impoverish the nation. It was inevitable. That many in the electorate were ignorant of, and blind to, its deleterious effects on the economy is forgivable; but that our highly-paid politicians, who are employed to serve the nation, is not. Fie on them all! — © Mark Alexander

Farage: The MAGA Grifter Who Will Win Thursday's Elections

May 2, 2026 | On Thursday 7th May, Britain votes — and I'm giving you my full prediction, party by party, from worst to best.

The Liberal Democrats, despite their integrity and 72 MPs, will come last — because being decent isn't enough when you're invisible.

The Conservatives aren't far ahead, still paying the price for 14 years of economic mismanagement.

Labour's Keir Starmer faces a reckoning that could force him out of Downing Street sooner than anyone expects.

The Greens are surging — popular, photogenic leadership [really???] — but try naming a single Green policy.

And then there's Reform UK. I devote the majority of this video to Reform UK — because what's happening isn't just another British political story. It's the MAGA franchise arriving in Britain. Farage's movement, Trump's playbook, same energy — and it's working.

This is my honest, unfiltered prediction of how Thursday plays out — and what it means for the future of British politics.



Sadly, a pretty accurate assessment. The thought of Farage preening his feathers like a peacock, which he will, is vomit-inducing! — © Mark Alexander

Rob Groves: BREXIT - 63% Now Want Back In. Thanks, Trump!

Apr 11, 2026 | Ten years ago, 52% of voters chose to leave the European Union, on the basis of lies painted on a bus and a campaign bankrolled by dodgy money. A decade on, the bill keeps arriving. Haulage companies going bust at twice the pre-Brexit rate, food prices rising, trade barriers grinding away at the economy, and a so-called special relationship with America that turned out to be a vassal state telling itself a flattering story.

Meanwhile, the latest YouGov polling shows 63% of Britons would now vote to rejoin the EU. Among 18-25 year olds, that figure is 86%. Even among retirees, 60% say they'd vote to rejoin. The tide has turned. The argument has been won. The question now is: what happens next?

Michael Lambert: Nigel Farage: The £1.5m Grifter Who Will NEVER Be PM

Mar 28, 2026 | Nigel Farage finally got into Parliament, but he’s already acting like he’s too good for the job. While his constituents in Clacton are left with a "Ghost MP," Nigel is busy raking in over £1.5 million a year from GB News, Trump-style rallies, and £40 Cameo videos.

In this video,

I break down why Nigel Farage will NEVER be Prime Minister and why his party has become a dumping ground for the political scrapheap. We’re looking at the "Loser’s Gallery" of defectors—from Suella Braverman and Robert Jenrick to the has-beens like Nadhim Zahawi, Nadine Dorries, and Jonathan Gullis.

Are they "patriots," or just "deadbeats" looking for their next taxpayer-funded gravy train? From Zia Yusuf’s corporate gloss to James McMurdock’s loan scandals and Rupert Lowe’s ego trips—it’s time to expose the Reform UK grift for what it really is.


The Defector Deadbeats: Why Jenrick, Braverman, and Kruger are political rejects.

The Trump Strategy: Why Nigel is more interested in being a celebrity than a leader.

Farage Called Welsh People ‘Foreign Speakers’ in Paid-for Video Message

THE GUARDIAN: Reform UK leader’s remarks in Cameo clip risk damaging party’s ambitions in upcoming Welsh elections

Nigel Farage described Welsh people as “foreign speakers” in a paid-for personalised video message that could prove awkward for Reform UK in forthcoming elections in the country.

Farage made the remarks in a video he was paid to make on Cameo, a personalised video platform, to celebrate a wedding.

The video was unearthed by the Guardian among a tranche of more than 4,000 clips the Reform leader has produced on the platform, which enables public figures and celebrities to sell recorded messages for members of the public.

Farage’s use of the platform has already come under intense scrutiny after a Guardian investigation revealed he had recorded videos supporting a rioter, repeating extremist slogans, and endorsing a neo-Nazi event. » | Henry Dyer and Michael Goodier | Thursday, March 19, 2026
