He has policies that offer hope to millions, to NHS workers, to show we can do things a better way. Ending the Net Zero rubbish which closes our industry down and moves it abroad! Starmer and Rishi are both the same more negative, broken system, rubbish policies!

This timing is perfect. Delegitimize the EU. Achieve Brexit. Sit back and watch the establishment prove it is corrupted, never intended to abide by Brexit, and has a clear contempt for the people. Now Farage can jump back into the fray at a time when reform has the momentum. I appreciate Farage's explanation for why he is coming back, but I believe it had to be this way to maximize the effect of Brexit. Patience works. Forward, Farage!
