Could it be that, like most narcissists, Nigel Farage is actually a bit thin-skinned? Surely not! Not our fearless Nige! The man who is never happier than when he can cast himself as the outsider a lone voice speaking truth to power. When he can control the narrative. A saviour rising from these streets. The politician who only knows he's alive when the cameras are rolling.
It is an association Labour seems particularly keen to conjure in relation to the leader of Reform UK. Speaking at the party's conference in Liverpool, Keir Starmer said Labour offered an alternative to the division and decline under the snake-oil merchant Nigel Farage. The prime minister's chief secretary, Darren Jones, also described Farage as a snake-oil salesman, comparing him with the misogynist influencer Andrew Tate.
Nigel Farage has insisted he has no "financial stake" in a house bought by his partner in his Clacton constituency. The Reform UK leader said the money used to purchase the property was "legally hers", adding: "She bought the house, the deeds are in her name, council tax is in her name." It comes after a BBC investigation raised questions over how Farage's partner, Laure Ferrari, could afford to buy the 885,000 home in Frinton-on-Sea, Essex, without a mortgage.

After navigating a half-hour queue to get through security, a group of us were told we needed to go back outside, walk 10 minutes and then go through security again to reach the media centre. Which would have been fine except the staff at the new entrance had been given instructions not to admit the media, and told us to go back to where we had started and queue for security a third time.
He should go and advance the positions he's taking here in Congress today in parliament, which is meeting today, if he's serious about it, Raskin said. To the people of the UK who think this Putin-loving free speech impostor and Trump sycophant will protect freedom in this country, come on over to America and see what Trump and Maga are doing to destroy our freedom. You might think twice before you let Mr Farage make Britain great again.
