Farage wants to overturn the ‘woke’ will of the people who voted for banknotes to feature animals instead of historical figures like Churchill – 21 takedowns that are right on the money

Because it was put to the public, and they decided they preferred it.
Farage really does believe that Reform's little 23% vote share are the loudest voices. That they should be heard above everyone else.
Sorry Nige, the UK is way too woke for Reform UK. https://t.co/lMs5aFGNkO

Nigel Farage ladies and gentlemen.
Instead of working for his constituency, the job he's paid for, he's posting nonsense on here to rile up the ignorant who probably don't know that the Bank of England held a public consultation on the designs for the next bank notes who…— °jP (@jim_pennington) March 11, 2026

Notice how the right are only in meltdown about Churchill being replaced on bank notes. They certainly don't seem concerned about Alan Turing or Jane Austen. Of course not, one was gay and the other a woman.

I am more concerned with that wanker devaluing the pound than the picture on it.

MP Luke Charters had some specialist knowledge – of banknotes and Farage.
Before I was an MP, I worked on the current series of polymer banknotes at the Bank of England.
So I know how decisions about our currency are made, and why they matter.
