The real reason for Brexit - not to take back control - but to give companies control over us.

And it’s to ensure that we diverge enough from the EU to make rejoining too difficult.

This UK government are such easy, easy marks for lobbyists. Bye Bye environmental protections. What total fuckheads.

And I love how these trade deals just happen, nothing parliament can do about them. Dictator power.

They want to give power to the private sector. That's what funds their party. That's what their ideology is. And, I suspect, that's what's paying them in their secret, tax haven accounts.

Especially since he and his finance bros have shorted Natwest stock before this furore began. As with all of his bullshit, it's a grift.

It almost seems like there's a conspiracy working for him. But I think everything we see can be explained by the fact that he's a uniquely high-profile proponent of Brexit and a host of other neo-lib and far right policies, so the right wing press are 101% behind him. As for Coutts/NatWest being incompetent, that was just a stroke of luck.

He's not a real politician so even the weak standards (much weaker, since Johnson) that apply to them are irrelevant to Farage. It would take a bang-to-rights criminal scandal to take him down.

Tories are terrified of him. At the next GE their likely support base could jump to Reform if Farage came back to front line politics. Hence this bookers overreaction to a person losing a private bank account for not being economically viable as a customer.
