It’s hard to know which of the two liars, Farage or Johnson, is lying in this case.

Those are propaganda. If it was true, it would be a case of corruption.

Saw the anger on last Thursdays BBC question time from the Brexit party woman and so the Brexit party are telling the truth and that is 100% they  are  telling the truth and the conservatives are vile lying cheating corrupt scum.
just one question everyone need  to get a answer to : 
If the conservatives are acting like this now what will they be like if they have a huge majority  and labour are wiped out  and doing deals with the Brexit party they say could have more seats than labour ?

Farage and Widdecombe.

Farage like most politicians will from time to time bend the truth to suit his needs but Widdecombe, nah, she's as honest as the day is long.

It seems our BoJo is living up to our expectations, he never fails does he.

What a fuking idiot, he had it all, he had it all within his reach, all he had to do was to reach out to Farage and what does he do instead, he throws it all away, what a fuking idiot.

Farage and Widdicombe. Boris's government doesn't appear able to cover up dirty tricks, but then neither was Tony Blair's despite having pros like Mandelson and Campbell.

Farage in this intance,  it sounds a lot like a Cummings tactic to me, I hope the Police carry out a thorough and very quick investigation...

Ludwig · Answer

Ho ho ho.   I trust Farage to tell the truth, and the Conservative Party leadership to be cretinously stupid.
