They deserve so much better In the early hours of last Friday morning, a video was posted. It showed Nigel Farage among his team of volunteers, before the votes had been counted, celebrating his victory and saying that he was not going to humiliate himself by sharing a platform at the count next to “nobodies”. He was referring to the 33 other candidates who had taken part in wh

Things get even more tricky for Dicky Tice, the Reform deputy with lots of cash but zero self-awareness
