GB news is is not news, its a conduit to paying employees of alt right lobbyists of which reform politicians these days seem to be most in demand, Farage inc has created a cash cow for himself and co conspirators.

Shoot ! And you only tell me that NOW ?
(Seriously, it might seems obvious but I’ve been doing the exact opposite all my professional life. And I can confirm it doesn’t pay)

Included Farage speaking at Young Republicans in USA. How is this allowed?

The real problem is that they then write the laws the billionaires want written.

It’s about time that MPs were required to work 9 to 5 every weekday exclusively in their Parliamentary duties and nothing else.
Their expenses and code of conduct should also match those of the Civil Service.

I still believe all MP’s should be paid equivalent of a chief exec (or council leader) but then that is the end of it. No payment for outside work. Tv appearances part of the Mp’s contract. No directorships, no “consultancy”. Excellent pay tho

These pricks have made becoming an MP like winning the Golden Ticket

It's a nest-feathering racket....what happened to public service?
