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.”

Hannah Spencer vs Reform: 'The Maths Is Not Maths-ing'
What could be funnier than the idea that Nigel Farage is an honest man? On Newsnight, Green party MP Hannah Spencer faced off against Reform's candidate for London mayor Laila Cunningham – and laughed at the suggestion that Farage has been "very honest" amid a scandal over an undeclared £5m gift. Spencer said Farage’s decision to trigger and then stand in a new byelection – which he has presented as a referendum on his character amid allegations of wrongdoing – will be bad for his constituents. "What it does is it throws people in that constituency, who are already struggling, like so many people in the country, into further turmoil," Spencer said.
