Farage will become even more popular if found guilty.
It will be fake news, persecution etc.
If the authorities try to bar him from being Reform UK leader or expel him from the Commons, I would think there will be some civil disorder.

Some people will get hurt, including Police officers I expect.
A taste of things to come.
 
I have to say Kemi is very good at the dispatch box. She is slaughtering Starmer. And now laying into Streeting - if looks could kill.

She is better than most stand up comedians - it’s hilarious.
She's enjoying the most open of open goals. And Labour have had to sit and listen with gritted teeth. Old Moggy said to one reporter yesterday that his heart went out to Steve Reid who was doing the studio rounds to try and back the PM. He said he had to do the same for Boris. It was Darren Clarke today, poor sod. And it's been happening from day one, ministers sent out by No 10 to explain Starmer's gaffes. MP's sent through the lobbies to vote one way then later sent through the lobbies to vote the other way. It's beyond Kemi's wildest dreams.
 
He’s a crooked grifter
Yes but he gets judged by different standards from other party leaders. Any other one trousering a £5m bung would be in trouble, but not Nigel. Like when the Donald was questioned about his tax avoidance, he said "That makes me smart" and that was that. As Nigel said, the foreign billionaire doesn't expect anything in return, so that's OK.

As Starmer would say - “Due process is underway and we must let that process take its course”.

And as the older saying goes “If you think I’ve done something wrong, prove it”
 
Interesting stat in Private Eye
12% is the real-terms drop in pay for the average global worker 2019-2025. Yet at the upcoming by-election every single candidate will promise the opposite. They would get hammered if they didn't.
54% is also the real-terms pay hike for the 1,500 best-compensated CEO's 2019-2025.
Don't shoot the messenger.
