Munira Wilson, the Lib Dem education spokesperson, said:

Farage is clearly laying the groundwork to axe crucial special needs provision in councils he’s got his eye on - communities where families and vulnerable young people are already waiting years to access threadbare special needs funds and special schools bursting at the seams.
If Nigel Farage had spent any time speaking to parents in his constituency, he’d know he’s barking up the wrong tree. The special needs crisis needs urgent repair - not his lazy rhetoric. We need a National Body for Send to end the special needs postcode lottery now.

Friend of mine worked with Munira Wilson a while ago, said she was excellent.

Can Farage actually cut SEND? I thought it was a legal requirement, albeit with lots of hurdles to actually getting it.

He'll DOGE it.

If you judge people by the company they keep, we shouldn’t be surprised by Farage’s attitude to special needs education.

If ever you needed proof of what a truly despicable character Trump is...

I don't think anyone did.

That's being a character. Keir Starmer drinking out of a goblet at a state banquet abroad is the real out of touch Keir.

Farage dresses up like he gets it a bit wrong.
And will be instantly outed by the toffs as a ghastly little man who buys his own furniture.

Fargle has been voted sexiest MP, something that made it to the Jeremy Whine show.

Regular panellist Marina Purkiss pointed out that this poll was of members of Illicit Encounters, a dating service specialising in helping people cheat on their partners (it's specifically not a polyamory or swingers' or other kind of consensual extramarital relationship site). Whine blethers about not knowing what Illicit Encounters is, but he knows it well enough to name it in his intro. Purkiss points out that anyone using the site is going to be to one degree or another dishonest and immoral. Much "ooh, that's a bit strong" from rest of panel, including Sarah Vine.

Being discreet and just out of frame is part of a bodyguard's MO. Unless you want people to think you're very important.

Did I say it was logical?

In which case you're being a dickhead.

I know you aren’t supposed to say this, but if Farage were to follow in the footsteps of Jo Cox and David Amess, I would be entirely un-heartbroken.

I ‘d even raise a glass.

I'm counting on mother nature to do the right thing.

Maybe it's me, he seems to have aged about a decade in the last 3 years.
I've plenty of vintage laid down in the piss-cellar to spare some for a celebration.

The murder of an elected legislator is an attack on the democratic process, its irrelevant who the victim is. That aside, assassination doesn't usually come from the sort of people who detest Farage. Maybe he's being stalked by Christopher Walken who's inherited psychic powers since awakening from a coma.*
