Say MPs shouldn't have their own TV shows (except if they're in Labour or left-wing). Transcript linked below video.

Wondering why the country’s spiraling out of control under Keir Starmer’s watch? He’s quick to point fingers at the so-called “far-right,” but what’s really behind the chaos on our streets? Today, we’re diving into the wave of protests and riots shaking the UK — and how Starmer’s failure to get a grip on the situation is only making things a lot worse. Dissenting voices are getting louder, with folks like Nigel Farage leading the charge, saying Starmer’s completely lost touch with what’s actually going on in the country.

LONDON — Populist lawmaker Nigel Farage on Friday won his first-ever seat in the U.K.'s parliament as he looks to shake up the country's politics with his right-wing Reform UK party. The win by the Brexit proponent follows seven failed attempts to become a member of the British parliament, although he has served as a (pro-Brexit) member of the European Parliament. "My plan is to build a mass national movement over the course of the next few years and hopefully be big enough to challenge the general election properly in 2029," Farage said after the result was announced. The result...

LONDON (Reuters) - Reform UK, the right-wing populist party led by Nigel Farage, looks set to emerge as a new force in British politics, winning its first seat in an election and squeezing the Conservative vote in the early results declared. Farage, a driving force behind Britain's decision to leave the European Union, only entered the election race last month, a move that caused shockwaves in a Conservative Party that was already far adrift of centre-left Labour.

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage will be the MP for Clacton-on-Sea, the exit poll suggests. It is Mr Farage’s eighth attempt to become an MP having failed on each previous attempt. The exit poll predicts Reform UK have a likelihood of 99 per cent-plus to gain the seat in Essex. It comes as the exit poll suggests the Labour Party will sweep to power with a 410 seat election victory and a majority of 170, with Tory big beats including Jeremy Hunt, Grant Shapps and Penny Mordaunt set to lose their seats.

“This is going to be huge”, Reform UK leader Nigel Farage predicts as the first results of Britain’s intense night of election results begins. The first seats for Britain’s next Parliament have been declared and while they have all undeniably been Labour stronghold areas that the party was expected to win, one object of surprise has been a repeated story of Nigel Farage’s Reform Party coming in second every time. While there is no escaping Britain’s electoral system, where the number of votes any given party gets nationally very rarely — if ever — is reflected in the actual power...

Polling stations, set up in buildings such as local schools and community halls, are opened at 07:00 and close at 22:00 BST. Around 46 million voters are eligible to elect 650 members of Parliament to the House of Commons. The results for each area, or constituency, will be declared through the night and into Friday morning.

@Nigel Farage: “I was asked the other day, what was I going to do for the black community. Do you know what I said? Nothing, absolutely nothing. I couldn’t give a damn if you’re black or white, gay or straight. I really don’t care. You’ll be judged by your character, by your ability by your contribution to society”

Tories are a discredited disgrace, Labour is out of touch, immigration continues at levels too hard to manage, so he's come out of retirement to head a party in opposition to Labour. Also talks of Covid travesty of lockdowns, vaxes for kids, masks, beleaguered small businessmen, his days in the EU parliament, constant flotilla of illegals crossing the Channel. He was the first to call it an invasion. Entire speech is rich with substance.

Volodymyr Zelensky has furiously described Nigel Farage as being infected with the "virus of Putinism", the Mail on Sunday reports. It writes that the Ukrainian president's "extraordinary intervention" comes after the Reform UK leader suggested the West was partially responsible for Russia's full-scale invasion. The Mail also reports that one of Farage's "most prominent supporters has repeatedly called for closer ties with the Kremlin".

@Nigel_Farage I am a fighter who has taken on the banks, the bureaucrats and the big corporations. And when I fight them, I usually win.

Nigel Farage has said the West "provoked" Russia's invasion of Ukraine by expanding the European Union and Nato military alliance eastwards. But he added that the expansion of the EU and Nato gave him a "reason" to tell the Russian people "they're coming for us again". In an interview with the BBC's Nick Robinson, Mr Farage was challenged over his judgement and past statements, including when he named Russian President Vladimir Putin as the world leader he most admired in 2014."I said I disliked him as a person, but admired him as a political operator because he's managed to take...

A poll claiming Nigel Farage is on track to win the Clacton Parliamentary seat by a comfortable margin would be by a degree “unprecedented in modern electoral history”. Brexit leader Nigel Farage is standing for election to the United Kingdom House of Commons for the eighth time, and polling suggests he may be on the verge of being sworn in to Westminster. Beyond a nationwide swing to Reform UK, the party he founded and now leads again, speat-specific polling by mainstream British pollster Survation by Farage ally Aaron Banks says he is likely to win big in Essex in 15...

Nigel Farage confirms he'll stand in the election for Clacton, Essex. "I have decided, I've changed my mind, it's allowed you know," he says. ... Farage has confirmed that he's coming back as leader of Reform UK - not just for this election campaign, he says, but for the next five years. He says the aim is to get many millions of votes - more than UKIP in 2015. How many seats they win will be another matter, he adds, but they are not just appealing to Tory voters, but Labour voters and to those who intend not to vote...

The chattering classes in the UK put on their outrage cap on Sunday while trotting out accusations of “racism” against Brexit leader Nigel Farage for warning that an increasing number of Muslims in the country “loathe” British values. Appearing on Sky News’s Sunday Morning With Trevor Phillips, Mr Farage stated: “We have a growing number of young people in this country who do not subscribe to British values, in fact, loathe much of what we stand for. I think we see them on the streets of London every Saturday.”

A socialist mayor in Brussels ordered police to shut down the National Conservatism Conference being held in the city while Brexit leader Nigel Farage was speaking on Tuesday. In comments recorded in footage of Mrs Braverman speaking to journalists as seen by Breitbart News, the former Home Secretary said: “I’m here with likeminded democrats, democratically elected politicians, leaders and experts in their fields and we are here talking about talking about the issues that matter to the British people… securing our borders, making our communities safer, how to protect our countries. “And it’s a real shame the thought police instructed...
