    Honesty the fact that Farage has gotten away with claiming that the closure was politically motivated despite the one document he used as evidence of this not actually supporting that claim at all (seriously, go read it it basically amounts to “he’s a dick but nothing he’s done is illegal so we’ll keep him on until his mortgage expires and he no longer meets the wealth requirements”) has been a massive failure of the British media to do the bare minimum of due diligence on checking the BS he comes out with.

      What’s annoying is that the government seemed to jump as soon as he told them too, with even the PM sticking his oar in. Rishi must be so worried about losing the far right vote to parties like Reform he let Farage lead him about on a piece of string.
