All the main stream uniparys are hanged up against Nigel farage including the main stream media in order to bring him down but I have a trust to the people of clerkton they will peak and choose only Nigel farage he deserves to win and show the uniparys that they have wrong

"Nigel Farage’s by-election gamble ‘won’t change’ those who love him" nor will it make any difference to the Parliamentary enquiry it'll still keep going if he's re-elected. But he may already know its conclusion as it's communicated to the person subject to it several weeks before its made public. Perhaps that's why he resigned.

He rolled the dice...question is, does he have the backing? In the UK, just like Australia, there is no opposition. Do UK voters want an opposition? More importantly, who else is going to deal with the issues that UK voters seem to be genuinely concerned with (same issues Australians are becoming concerned with frankly)?

Farage took a £5 million bribe which he pretends is a "gift" and then lied about the gift anyway by changing his story over and over. We all know it was a bribe and is probably the tip of the iceberg. Farage is corrupt and bought and paid for.

Farage is trying to deceive people into thinking this is some establishment hit job lol he thinks the British public are thick.

Farage is upset because the media have finally started to look into him after 30 years of giving him a free pass. Turns out Farage is more corrupt than any politician in living memory and those of us - such as myself - who had been fans need to grow up and accept he took us for fools.

No one just gets given £5 million. We all know it was a bribe. It's stupid now.

The other parties will contest his seat on the terms of the rules and law: not as part of Farage's pathetic fake attempt to frame this as "the people vs the establishment" when in reality he got revealed as insanely corrupt.

Going to be a difficult summer. Farage will probably win but it will be a pyrrhic victory if he doesn't get round 80pc of the votes in the most Reform area of the country.
And if he loses to a bin then his political career will be over, Trump will want nothing more to do with him and will be disastrous for the hopes of the Reform Party.
@
Farage is disgusting. He is the establishment, not a man of the people. How many ordinary guys do you know has 4 houses and over 8 million and is Christopher Harborne's puppet. He rarely attends parliament and has missed 77 voting sessions. He's a fraud and a charlatan.
@
He is better spoke person Nigel Farage then some prince Harry. Get a grip. Is a good strategist.
