Farage fumbles as Iran war becomes cost-of-living issue The Reform UK leader has changed his tune on Britain’s involvement in the Iran conflict as oil and gas prices soar.

Farage used to be a city banker. He knew this war would drive oil prices up. He didn't care.

He knows recessions tend to drive people to the political Right.

Our country needs a leader who would put the people's needs above their own.

It was the government she was part of that quietly let the Naval ships fall to ruin

Badenoch said if she was prime minister HMS Dragon would have left a week ago. Presumably with its doors hanging off and with no weapons onboard.
