Nigel Farage admits he was wrong to say he had bought house in Clacton

1. This is the problem with people who so readily lie, they can’t keep on top of all the lies.

2. You know he’s going to get away with it. He’s got away with a lot worse.

3. Liar caught lying.

   No doubt he will say next that he wasn’t calling for the US to impose sanctions on the UK three days ago when address Congress …. Oh, he already has.

4. Was he lying then or is he lying now? Probably both.

5. In his defence, why would he buy a house in Clacton? It’s clearly full of cunts.

6. Absolute shocker… A man who lies repeatedly is caught in another lie.

7. So he did lie about his house purchase.

   Perhaps not to his accountant or his solicitor or his financial advisor etc.

   No, just to ***his constituents***.

   We really do need to get past this idea in society that we ordinary folk are less deserving of the truth than others.

8. Behold how our media and country work.

   Rayner, has been crucified in the media over her payment of stamp duty tax, the media hate her, absolutely hate her so her story has been massive to the point she’s been forced to resign from government.

   Rich-Boy Farage, is able to to use a loophole to do the exact same thing only in a much more deliberate way.

   Double standards.

   If your gonna shit all over Rayner then you gotta drop a dump on Farage for this too.

9. If people can’t see the difference to this and Rayner’s situation then I worry about them!

10. Yeah but… but they are all the same! Except Rayner who should be held to a different standard for some reason.

11. I don’t understand why he didn’t just say he now lives in his constituency, that’s the pertinent point. Whether someone rents, owns or lives with a partner is immaterial (unless you make it material by lying about it).

12. Why isn’t the title “nigel farage caught lying”. Admits he was wrong sounds like awww never mind nigel. When reality is he lied as usual and was caught lying

13. Give him a break, he could just genuinely not have a clue where Clacton is and assume his house is there.

14. He needn’t bother. Reform voters are immune to hypocrisy.

15. The chances are he is once again lying, he wanted to avoid SDLT, like he wants to avoid income tax.

16. I’m surprised that there aren’t rules that say an MP must own or rent a property in their Constituency within x months of being elected.

    And that they should hold a certain number of surgeries in person a year.

17. >The Clacton MP, who is also paid a £94,000-a-year MP’s salary has in the past criticised people who try to avoid tax as the “common enemy”.

    >But the fact that he diverts money away from his prime-time TV show into his company means he paid only 25% corporation tax on profits instead of 40% income tax, and could offset some expenses.

    Hypocrisy much?

18. This exemplifies the difference in how the British media treats working class women and upper class men.

19. Disagree with this entirely. The brand bought a house and it rolls on. Who actually cares about the semantics of it all?

20. Rayner got crucified for the exact same thing, piss take how he isn’t held to the same standard as she was

21. Guessing he isn’t resigning like he expects real politicians to though, is he?

22. > Richard Tice, the party’s deputy leader, said Farage’s tax affairs were “irrelevant” to voters.

    > When asked if [Farage] would publish his tax return if he became prime minister he told Sky News: “I think it’s probably an imposition too far.” When pressed Farage added: “Having said that, you know, at the point I become prime minister, then all of my business interests would have to be passed over to a trust anyway. So I think, frankly, that’s, you know, it wouldn’t matter.”

    > The fact that [Farage] diverts money away from his prime-time TV show into his company means he paid only 25% corporation tax on profits instead of 40% income tax, and could offset some expenses. The parliamentary register of interests shows Farage has made almost £400,000 from GB News since August 2024, for about 190 hours’ work.

    I look forward to all of the reform curious folks holding Farage to the same standard they hold Rayner to.

    If you vote for this charlatan, I hope you get what you vote for good and hard.

23. > That’s why you can see me out, often on a Saturday morning, out buying the essentials – limes, tonic, all that sort of thing.

    It’s like he’s playing a caricature of himself.

24. People on the left don’t seem to understand…..those on the right just want illegal immigration stopped at all costs, they don’t care about his houses, his taxes or who he is shagging etc. You are wasting your time.

25. >  he should not have claimed he was buyer of property that was really bought by his partner

    Does this really matter? Plenty of people say “Come to my house”, when they really mean “Come to the house I live in but is technically owned by my husband/wife/parents/whatever”.
