Nigel Farage is just ‘playing the game of politics’ like any other politician would

TalkTV Weekend Editor Phil Dave says Reform UK Leader Nigel Farage is just “playing the game of politics” as any other politician would. “The difference is what he’s doing is he’s actually using this opportunity to highlight to the British public what most politicians don’t want us to see, and that is just some of the dirty tricks that politicians play,” Mr Dave told Sky News host James Macpherson. “If we are picking on someone for receiving a donation here, then there are plenty of politicians that also receive very, very questionable donations. “It just so happens that this is a classic case of deflection.”

Firebrand Who Helped Build MAGA Sees 'Collapse Under Its Own Weight' Coming

A former MAGA firebrand who helped build the movement now says it's going to collapse under its own weight. Pedro Gonzalez, a writer and former New Right activist who broke with Trump, made the prediction in a Vox piece published Monday by journalist Zack Beauchamp. When your movement revolves around taboo-breaking and boundary-stepping, but then you decide there are some boundaries that are worth respecting, it's a joke, Gonzalez told Beauchamp. It's going to fail. It's going to collapse under its own weight. Gonzalez is among a growing number of conservatives who helped fuel MAGA's rise and are now alarmed by where it has gone. Axios reported in April that MAGA's most powerful media voices turned against Trump over the Iran war. Joe Rogan called it insane, based on what he ran on and said supporters feel betrayed. Trump cast Tucker Carlson out of the movement entirely. read more
