Why does it take US politicians to hold Farage to account, while our journos just cringe and subserve? https://t.co/m9GPZwFM5H

How many “ Gotcha” moments is Farage going to tot up here? This session seems to be exposing him for what he is. Thank you Rep. Raskin.

I love seeing Farage squirm like this.
Now get him in front of a Parliamentary Committee.
No politician should be shutting down journalists in this country. https://t.co/RlD9nV8Msh— TallyCat (@TallyCat8) September 3, 2025

Raskin’s question about Nottingham completely floored Farage, who seemed astonished that anyone would be that well informed. Raskin saw straight through him…

Nigel Farage has to fly all the way to the United States to receive scrutiny.
This is how it’s done!!
British media, hang your heads in shame. https://t.co/pwvMR3D8ei

And just in case you were in any doubt (you surely weren’t).
Farage is lying to Congress. He has banned journalists from his events.@BylineTimes, @DeSmog, @TheNewWorldmag and others were banned from Reform UK’s national conference in Sept 2024 – even after buying tickets.@Femi_Sorry was also removed from a Reform UK event in June 2023.

@jamesrbuk & @WritesBright have confirmed they’re also banned from this year’s Reform UK national conference.
They were informed today.
So Farage explicitly told Congress that he doesn’t ban journalists from Reform events on the exact day that he banned journalists from events.

In fact it went so well for Farage that he ran for cover rather than taking any more questions from the estimable Jamie Ruskin, very much our new favourite politician right now.
