He was certainly instrumental in that respect Foxy, doesn’t make him legit though?
Meat on the bones, policies …I doubt it!
Promising it would all be so much better. Of course the reality is now proven that it is very far from so much better out of the EU. It is in fact quite a lot worse. How do all those empty and now evidently fake promises from Nigel help bolster his credibility?
She wasn’t great, she created most of the problems the UK now has to deal with. But that is an aside. As is a quick mention of the money making efforts she embarked on after being PM.
This argument (all senior politicians are in it for the money so Farage is still a good guy) is pretty weak. The argument might address Farage’s earning from his TV work or even from his payments for promoting a product. But it does not address these large donations or the fact that he did not declare them.
Thatcher, like Blair later, did set up a foundation in her name and used that vehicle to earn money after her time in the commons. She also, like quite a few retired politicians, took on advisory work for large companies and wrote a couple of books. Blair has build his foundation into a large advisory business (that is, its more successful than Thatcher’s similar attempt). But note - these actions by such retired politicians only happened when they were … retired from politics. This is a significant difference from Farage’s earnings and donations - which happened when he was one of two directors of Reform UK.
How can reform be different?, they’re just the tories #2
