Don't be fooled - Farage doesn't actually want to stop the boats Flanked by the Emmanuel Macron, President of France, Sir Keir Starmer boasted that the Government was taking action while others were "taking pictures". No prizes for he was referring to. That very day, Nigel Farage was out on the briny with a GB News film crew, fishing for mackerel while observing French coastguards shepherding the handover of 78 migrants from their "rib" inflatable to the safety of Dover-bound UK Border Force. "We are witnessing a crime yet everyone seems happy," Farage almost chortled. Yet the leader of Reform UK seemed happiest of all. Far from stopping the boats, Farage needs them to keep coming if he is to achieve his ambition of becoming the next British Prime Minister. Waterborne migrants have been his most spectacular political recruiting sergeants ever since he began taking videos off the south coast back in May 2020. In their various manifestations - Ukip, Brexit, Reform UK - the parties Farage leads are always been negative, destructively focussed. They aim to exploit widespread dissatisfaction with the state of the world. The solutions they offer are sketchy and impractical. For once the Prime Minister slotted one past Farage at Prime Minister's Questions this week: "He has no interest in fixing the problem because he wants to milk it and exploit it. That's the truth about him and his party." Farage's strategy is to blame anyone he can….. Reform UK's interests are best served by denouncing and stuffing up any productive collaboration with allies in Europe or more broadly. Reform UK has yet to produce its definitive policy on immigration. This side of a general election Farage knows that Reform UK's best option is to sabotage the Government's gradualist, co-operative efforts to turn the tables, helping to ensure that the boats keep coming.

This is spot on.
Farage doesn’t want to stop the boats… yet…
They’re his daily ‘Breaking Point’ poster made flesh… His political strength relies on the hatred, prejudice and disinformation he can whip up on beach watch.
Humane solutions scare the hell out of him.

EXCLUSIVE: After the PM's years of dithering over the true definition of a woman, a new book reveals... KEIR STARMER'S EX GIRLFRIEND IS PRO-TRANS JUDGE
This Daily Mail headline is just a randomly generated string of gammon-triggering words with no rhyme or reason.
Tomorrow - Starmer’s Muslim ex flatmate is a Gen Z Cyclist.

Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.
The gap in time in between the US administration attacking and undermining the UK, and the leader of His Majesty's supposedly opposition parroting their words wholesale, is getting shorter and shorter

Trump does not respect bootlickers like Nigel Farage . Standing up to Trump is the only way to make a deal with him.
Vance comes to Munich and lectures Europe on free speech but fails to mention Russia, where free speech gets people murdered.
What should have been an important address about conflict is used to push an agenda to Europe's far right.
Nobody should trust a word said by his administration.
Prime Minister Chamberlain gave bits of Czechoslovakia to Hitler in 1938. The Czech government was not in the room.
Hitler went and took the rest of it anyway.
Peace in our time?
You can never make a deal with murderous dictators.
Probably the very worst time to be a small island on the edge of Europe isolated from its neighbours

We might stand and look at American healthcare in horrified amazement that a country would actually accept such a barbaric, inhumane system...
But it could happen in the UK too.
Keep Reform and Farage out at all costs.
I adore this voice. ✊

This is unutterably stupid. Political donations should have been reformed YEARS ago.
We don't want a knee-jerk "stop-Farage" law; we just want a democracy that isn't a corruptible plaything of the rich, whether it's Lord Sainsbury, Frank Hester or Elon Musk.

Composite screenshot of tweets by Elon Musk. The first from 2022 reads: "For Twitter to deserve public trust, it must be politically neutral, which effectively means upsetting the far right and the far left equally". The second, from 20 Dec 2024, reads: "only the AfD [extreme right wing party] can save Germany"
How it started,
How it's going.

Farage's tweet didn't age well. The German terrorist is a fan of Elon Musk, Alex Jones, and Tommy Robinson

He is also a supporter of the German pro-Russian fascist AfD party.
Will Farage now condemn right-wing terrorism?
Let’s never forget the Tories and reform are all about the wealthy
Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has just said
“Starmer’s deals with Iraq and Germany will not work. Deportations once we leave the ECHR is the ONLY way”
I explain here why he’s again talking boll****👇
