You shouldn't have to pay any inheritance tax, as you've already been taxed on that money. When my grandad died, it was particularly sad because he was too young for my grandma to receive his pension. That's disgusting. Reform has sensible positions on immigration and inheritance tax, so I stand with Nigel Farage.

Dulwich college head responds to claims of teenage racism by Nigel Farage

I am very sorry to hear how troubling recent reports have been for you, he wrote. We fully recognise the seriousness of the behaviours described in the media, and we understand why you and others who were at the college during that period have felt compelled to speak out. Allegations of racist and antisemitic conduct are profoundly distressing, and it is important to say clearly that such behaviour is wholly incompatible with the values the college holds.

Asked about The Donald's national security strategy, the Commons was remarkable for its absences | John Crace

Twas the fortnight before Christmas and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. Apart from a few exceptions. Labour backbencher Matt Western had managed to secure an urgent question on President Trump's new national security strategy and the Commons itself was remarkable for its absences. A roll-call of dishonour. Take Nigel Farage. You would have thought he would have had a lot to say on the subject.

Badenoch criticises Farage over refusal to apologise for alleged racist remarks

A lot of people are coming out saying he did say those things. He should just apologise. If he just said: You know, I was a kid, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that. It was wrong. People shouldn't speak like that,' this would all have gone away. And that's the problem. It's not that he's racist, that he doesn't care.

Nigel Farage meets French far-right leader in London

Speaking ahead of the meeting, Bardella told the BBC's Nick Robinson he believed the "extremely resilient" Reform UK leader would become the UK's next prime minister. The 30-year-old French MEP is leading in opinion polls to win the first round of the next presidential election due in 2027. A Reform source said the two politicians discussed small boat crossings and energy policy, particularly nuclear energy. Farage has in the past kept his distance from NR, the successor party to the National Front (FN), formerly led by Marine Le Pen.

You can normally set your watches by Reform. It's a rare Monday morning in which Nigel Farage doesn't pop up somewhere in central London to give a press conference. Even when he has nothing new to announce, he usually has no shame in saying something he's said before many times. He likes the attention. Makes him feel valued. Satisfies his rampant narcissism.

Farage urged to explain anti-abortion links to meeting with Trump officials

Nigel Farage has been urged to explain why a US anti-abortion advocacy group helped arrange a meeting in London with Trump administration officials and diplomats. The meeting, first reported by the New York Times, took place in March between Farage and a delegation from Trump's state department, which it said was overseen by the US embassy and brokered by the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) group. The meeting was said to have discussed abortion rights, free speech and online safety laws. ADF, which supports free speech and religious freedom, has worked in Britain to help challenge the prosecutions of Christians who were arrested for praying silently outside abortion clinics, breaching buffer zones.
