  1. Good stuff. This needs to be broadcast more. Farage is a traitorous grifter conning the nation’s most ignorant into harming their country.

  3. Odd that Starmer hasn’t been doing this from the start. Russiform UK are an existential threat to our democracy and the establishment should treat them as such.

  4. What? You mean the patriotic man who was all behind a hard Brexit and then tried to get an Irish passport, got denied, then tried to get a German one and got denied again?

  5. Has he gotten around to doing any clinics yet? Last time I paid any attention to this melted welly he’d been voted in for about 5 months and hadn’t spoken to a single one of his constituents and was at the time living it up in America with his shitty mates Trump & Co, who I’m sure think he’s a pathetic little skidmark but humour him anyway ’cause he wants to be like one of them

  6. farage would see all our necks trodden by russian boots

  7. Farage said if Brexit didn’t work, he’d move abroad. Pretty sure he has dual citizenship with at least one other country. He’s not out for the UK. He’s out for himself.

  8. Starmer’s throwing stones from a very thinly paned glass house there.

  9. True, but if starmer keeps on not listening to what reform voters/ reform leaning are saying, then it’s gonna be a problem

  10. I’m heartened that there’s a politician with a bit of a backbone willing to voice an opinion. Actual politics rather than just money grabbing bs, I like it.

  11. I still laugh at the posts from the beginning of the month from people beating the reform drum….. then a day later, complaining they have nobody to look after their dog and child now they have to return to the office to work.

    The country has gone mad.

    On a side note I’m looking for a country offering free accommodation on arrival, preferably somewhere hot, any ideas?

  12. Not patriotic. With his German passport living in France. How much more British can you get .

  13. Listened earlier to a Tory MP taking a pop at Starmer’s renewal of the current EU fishing deal but was also quick to point out that The Farage apparently was involved in fishing while an MEP but barely turned up to represent the interests of the UK fishing industry. Really shouldn’t surprise. The guy ranted about about waste and corruption in the EU and got into trouble for his expenses….

    And now basically he’s just modelling himself on Trump’s right-wing populist grift with side order of cult of personality.

  14. I’d happily go one further.

    Nigel Farage is a cunt, as are all who vote for or support his abhorrent ‘party’.

  15. I’m glad Labour are ready to come out swinging. Politics is getting pretty dirty now and the Tories and Reform are getting ready to piss all over Wales, shit all over everyone in England and fuck everyone in Scotland so hard that the poll tax will look like a free lunch.

  16. I like this a lot. Socialists should fight fascists not play around.

  17. Currently you can launch a blistering attack on any politician, not too difficult. Take everything they all say with a pinch of salt.
    And citizens are trusting all our politicians too eagerly on all spectrums of politics.

  18. For a self proclaimed patriot he sure loves living and paying his taxes in Belgium.

  19. Good, a few more years of blistering attacks please Prime Minister

  20. If you pay Farage enough, his bones will be whatever you want them to be.

  21. I mean I completely agree but I think Starmer doesn’t love anything but his own fucking skin and it’s so obvious it hurts.

    We need someone who actually seems like they care to not have it just sail over the public’s head.

  22. After the total pathetic shitshow that Brexit turned out to be, how is Farage even still in politics? Are brits that daft? Embarrassing

  23. Can’t stand Farage. Or any Reform twat. I turned on the TV a few days ago in the morning because it had a Reform MP and I just turned it off. Not listening to them. Not at all.

  24. My god, finally some fucking backbone.

    Who is this guy and what did he do with Kier? This week has been what we’ve been waiting for, and long may it continue.

  25. The man who said he prefers the WEF to Westminster points fingers and accused others of lack of patriotism. Interesting.

  26. Great , long overdue – political sideline commentators have been calling for this approach for a while.

  27. Louder for those at the back.

    The only way Labour win in 2029 is to say this again, again and again. I’m sick of hard right grievance peddlers like Trump and Farage being treated as though they have a monopoly on patriotism. Why moderate politicians have to entertain the fantasy that populist grifters genuinely care about the countries they want to plunder is beyond me. It’s good someone at Labour HQ has got the message.

  28. He’s not wrong.

    The Fagash Fuhrer takes cash from the Kremlin to undermine UK interests, while wrapping himself in the Union Jack.

  29. Starmer can talk hes been attacking our most vulnerable hes a disgrace

  30. Loving this new Kier.

    This is how you need to approach people like Farage.

  31. No entirely true, I’m fairly certain he’s had Putin’s patriotic bone in his body if you know what I mean

  32. In other news, Turkeys have voted once again, for Christmas.

  33. I struggle to think of anyone who is less patriotic than Farage. I also struggle to think of anyone who has done more harm to this country than Farage.
