This you, Nigel? 👀

Farage: "Kemi Badenoch is stunning people" For once, he was right. Such a pity he's playing politics now. You really can't trust Farage or Reform.

Yes, wow.. you really busted him here… 🙄🙄 He gives credit where it’s due, unlike Kemi. He’s never said everything she does is perfect, and she’s made some unbelievable mistakes since then. Most recently? Thinking it’s funny to compare Reform to Nazis. Which isn’t just wildly inaccurate.. it trivialises the real torture, starvation, and murder of millions of innocent men, women, and children.

The Conservatives failed this country get a grip

For once, I agree with him

At least he didn't lower himself to name call

Gill, a Farage ally, made pro-Russian statements in the European Parliament and on Ukrainian TV channels linked to Putin associate Viktor Medvedchuk between December 2018 and July 2019.

Police investigations found no direct Farage involvement, but the Gill case has prompted calls for probes. Evidence includes: Nathan Gill's Role in Reform: Gill, jailed in November 2025 for the same bribery scheme detailed above, briefly led Reform UK Wales in 2021 (for under two months) and led its Welsh election campaign.

@LoftusSteve Three and a half years ago. A week is a long time in politics....

Reminds me of Rossini talking about Wagner: lovely moments but terrible quarters of an hour.

Let’s face it, Nigel Farage is a Kemi supporter

He’s right.. they won’t!!!!

Nigel don’t forget you cannot blame politicians of today for the last twenty years mess new recruits Nigel concentrate on reform policies you are new don’t turn into a allie for useless labour kemi deserves better

Such a two faced twat.

And? What's your point? It's called assessing things on an individual case by case basis. You're grasping at straws.

You realise this ‘gotcha’ just makes people look at the critical story in the telegraph, right? Far more people would have seen it now than would have if you hadn’t posted this.
