‘For Once, the Record Shows the Real Farage’

I spent 30 years in Republican politics – which means I spent 30 years with men who, to put it mildly, had a certain moral flexibility on campaign finance laws.

So the recent undercover investigation into Reform UK didn’t shock me. I’ve seen this movie before.

The caricature has served him well. Pint in one hand, cigarette in the other, a human middle finger to ‘the elites’.
