When will these interviewers learn that character assignation attempts are too lame to beat popularists. Ask what he will do and expose the lack of clear policy.

It doesn't really matter with Nigel, he has an excuse planned for every eventuality, normally some boring twist on 'it's all a big conspiracy'

[@Ashaphim107]

How can the decline in goods only be due to net zero? 😅 So funny to hear him talk about deregulation when he relied on the EU rule about not debanking politicians on political grounds to save his millions.

[@casanovamacbeth]

Because the cost of manufacturing goods in the UK is more expensive. Energy price (as a result of British energy policy) is a big factor in that. Brexit is not a factor in that.

[@Ashaphim107]

@@casanovamacbeth I agree that it's British energy policy, but I don't think that using renewables is the only problem - in the long-term, it'll be cheaper whereas Brexit will long-term negatively affect people. Anybody you hear from the industry, including SMEs that Farage says he supports, says red tape and regulations (inevitable ones) are increasing costs, Farage will never be honest (as well as Labour and the Tories) about the negatives of Brexit.

[@mattantonelli4273]

in 2014 Farage's remarks were part of his broader critique of EU foreign policy, which he believed was interventionist and counterproductive. His stance was that the EU's actions had aggravated the situation in Ukraine, leading to the conflict with Russia.

Diddums, quote of a little baby

[@mattantonelli4273]

That's correct. Nigel Farage, the leader of the UK Independence Party (UKIP) at the time, did indeed warn about the potential for conflict in Ukraine in 2014. He made these comments in the European Parliament, where he was a member representing the UK. Farage's statement "we provoked this war" referred to the European Union's (EU) and the West's role in supporting the Ukrainian revolution that ousted pro-Russian President Viktor Yanukovych in February 2014. Farage argued that this support led to Russia's annexation of Crimea and the subsequent conflict in eastern Ukraine. Farage's views on this issue were controversial, and his criticism of the EU's and the West's actions in Ukraine were seen as contrarian by many. However, his warnings about the potential for conflict in Ukraine did ultimately come to pass, as fighting broke out in the Donbas region between Ukrainian government forces and Russian-backed separatists. It's important to note that Farage's comments were not solely a warning about the potential for conflict but also a critique of the EU's and the West's foreign policy in Ukraine. His views on this issue have been subject to interpretation and debate.

[@julianhall2008]

He admires Putin "for the way he runs Russia " his words. So if he was to become PM , is that what we have to look forward to. My brother's Russian student cried when her exchange ended and she had to return, stating that it was a very hard life there . Not something to aspire to.

[@archer159]

That's not true, actually. Yes, large parts of Russia are still 'emerging' from post-communism (that's a BIG job) but many areas - towns cities etc - are at least as well advanced everywhere as such as Italy. I know this because I know people who work and live there. They did this progress in around 30 years, and mostly during Putin's leadership, -whereas we are solidly going the other way!!!

[@Jaaj2009]

Afraid Nigel is making the same mistakes as they made with Brexit. Trade deals with India etc have not been finalised because they want things we are not willing to offer, carbon tax free imports of goods that will flood the UK with cheap product and many many work visas. The US are the same, they want to flood the UK with cheaply produced meat and agricultural product, while he sits there ready to open the doors of UK health to the US insurance companies. We will are trading issues with the EU for issues with the rest of the world. While he is a good campaigner I don't think any of the plans in his contract are realistic. On another note, why are these interviews so performative, Nick Robinson constantly with all these interviews has willfully misinterpreted and missed the point. There are enough issues with what they are presenting without making up issues to get annoyed about.

[@freedomisle]

Was Nick Robinson this much of a manipulator in his other interviews? If not get this guy fired. He is not impartial at all!

[@gliddofglood]

His job isn’t to be impartial. It’s to hold up a light of scrutiny to both character and manifesto and pick holes in both so that voters can see what they are getting. Otherwise it’s just another soapbox for Farage.

it's a horrid strategy. he makes a lot of very controversial, but subjective statements, which incites the media to constantly call him out on racist dogwhistles and naked alliance with regressive forces; when he then goes on to make ridiculous policy statements and is rightly criticised for them, he then turns around and says it's because of media bias. sadly trump found that the strategy works, but only because the moderate republicans made the choice to throw out their principles. I fear that the tories are unlikely to be any less craven.
