Politics nigel farage zia yusuf
Reform’s self-styled Shadow Home Secretary Zia Yusuf got incensed about ‘foreign election interference’ and it wasn’t just the elephant in the room – it was an entire herd
The last time Nigel Farage voted in the House of Commons was the 18th of March. His appearances in the House since then are in single figures, and he’s missed 77 votes.
It is now eleven weeks since I voted in Parliament. I just can't fit it in between my other twelve jobs and hiding from the press.

He’s never been one to turn up and do the work for which he was elected when he could simply take the money and swan off to GB News or America. But the reason he’s been avoiding places where people might hold him to account is down to an undeclared £5 million personal gift to him from Thailand-based crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne – who also gave Reform and its previous incarnations at least £19 million.
That wasn’t even Farage’s first overseas billionaire rodeo.
Nigel Farage attended Davos on a pass sponsored by the family office of Iranian billionaire Sasan Ghandehari, which told the World Economic Forum that the Reform UK leader had advised the company since 2018. https://t.co/CEFDP9Ovv5 pic.twitter.com/VpGKxOQogg

It was, therefore, something of an eyebrow raiser when Reform’s so-called Shadow Home Secretary (He’s not an MP, and Reform aren’t the Opposition) entered the chat, with this QAnon nonsense.

The irony – and massive hypocrisy – were plain to see. Tweeters weighed in.

This desperate little unelected nobody knows what Farage is hiding.

He’s a 95-year-old man who hasn’t been been seen in public for years. The bogeyman act isn’t fooling anyone anymore.
If anyone’s being bought, it’s Nigel Farage by his Bangkok-based sugar daddy.

Yet you are happy to get money from Iranians, Emiratis, Americans and so on. You are not against foreign interference, @ZiaYusufUK, you want to monopolise it. https://t.co/Rz7QaGhRJD

This chap is becoming increasingly detached from reality. The more he’s ignored within Reform, the more outlandish his claims seem to become.
At some point, it stops being politics and starts looking like a cry for attention. https://t.co/b26TXgz86J
