What a load of old bollocks - Farage shouldn’t be allowed to get away with spouting this nonsense. The CBI reported just last week that the net zero sector is growing 3 times faster than the overall UK economy, & renewable energy is far cheaper than fossil fuels 🙄 - ThreadSky

Unless we rid our country of this man we are going to end up in the same position as the non-trump voting Americans.
Ruled by an autocract and terrified for our future.

It's partly the responsibility of the press for giving fanatic fararge and every piece of rubbish he spouts so much airtime... Why is such an undemocratic fringe party treated as being relevant and not as the joke that they actually are?! His ramblings should be on the funny page not front page news

Media <> impartiality

helenh.bsky.social•3 days ago

What does the Sun stand to gain from this? Surely the journalists churning out this stuff know it for the lie it is.

dansingh.bsky.social•3 days ago

They're not journalists, they're copywriters for propagandists and wealthy perverts.

cheddarz.bsky.social•3 days ago

And the Sun shouldn't be allowed to write it.

alecjburrett.bsky.social•3 days ago

Zonal wholesale electricity pricing will make Farage and his chums in the Scum look like the proper Charlies they are. Plus it will accelerate the rollout of EVs and heat pumps. Just because it will annoy the owners of Scottish hydroelectric stations doesn't mean we shouldn't do it.

ajkitch.bsky.social•3 days ago

The price per unit is determined by the most expensive element- the fossil fuel. Farage just makes it up

hollybrigstocke.bsky.social•3 days ago

Farage copycatting US/Kremlin far right right disinformation tactics. Then there's Labour's Mahmood and Conservative's Jenrick copycatting the Project 2025 vibe.

Wouldn’t wipe my arse with that rag

christopher-hervez.bsky.social•3 days ago

I agree it's bollocks, the tactic is from a playbook. It has been used effectively in the USA. A lie is reported and never acknowledged - it isn't challenged by the news media. You, anyone, an MP could challenge it and that challenge would be ignored. He knows it's a lie like Trump's landslide.

This type of blanket coverage for Nigel Farago helps.

The rest of the UK should fall into line with Liverpool when it comes to the Sun

spencerstrasmore.coys.social•3 days ago

The unfortunate thing is that stupid people believe him.

jaybee27.bsky.social•3 days ago

I wouldn't waste your time worrying about a non entity like Farage. You're just feeding the troll by giving him free airtime.

mdhoefsmit.bsky.social•3 days ago

Time for Starmer to deal with Farage and not let Farage do what he did to Cameron

rosierocket.bsky.social•3 days ago

Hasn’t a clue how to go about it. It’s a huge problem for Labour (and us).

kateedmonds.bsky.social•3 days ago

@ofcom.bsky.social Should step in and stop The Sun from propagating Farage's lies.

mzdt.bsky.social•3 days ago

Too many people are believing this bollocks though, and insist and telling me this opinion as a fact, dismissing my facts as only an alternative opinion...

That little toad wants pulling up by his balls every time he utters blatant rubbish

liverpoolcomrade.bsky.social•3 days ago

Please don't even link to The S*n.

It only encourages them!

Take a screenshot if you have to, but don't give them your hate clicks, let alone your money.

davidj2024.bsky.social•3 days ago

Totally agree but the pop-up ads make it virtually unreadable (presumably intentionally to encourage subscription). As ghastly on line as in print.

I invested in rooftop solar panels and a storage battery. I've saved money and they will have paid for themselves in another five years.

gillianottaway.bsky.social•3 days ago

How is it not illegal for a sitting MP to lie?
That other MPs are not crying out for this chills me

gampajml.bsky.social•3 days ago

Fact checking and MSM not good bedfellows....as long as it sells papers through sensationalism...Farage will always have an audience and they will print it.
Garbage in, garbage out.

ruthsustainable.bsky.social•3 days ago

@compinpolitics.bsky.social is seeking to address this important issue! Lying in politics could become illegal 👍

thegarn.bsky.social•3 days ago

It’s almost like the truth doesn’t matter to Nigel at all. Who knew?

baughty.bsky.social•3 days ago

I’d like to say something very insightful, rhetorically impactful and politically astute. But in the end, Farage is just a gob for sale

iantofp.bsky.social•3 days ago

Please call him out at every opportunity as the main stream media avoid this like the plague?

kev1n1985.bsky.social•3 days ago

You know what is hiking up bills. Gas, the war in Ukraine and the failure of the last government to build enough solar, wind and nuclear power

adybee.bsky.social•3 days ago

Whilst the SUN is an excellent source for energy Caroline 👍 when it comes to facts The Sun … not so much 🤨

sarcasticcow.bsky.social•3 days ago

In process of buying my first property. Is there an energy provider that only provides green energy?

But people still listen to this manipulative, self interested fool! He’s already driven us off the cliff once, and then blamed everyone else, why allow him anywhere near the driving seat!

monkeymanmiggins.bsky.social•3 days ago

This government really needs to get much better at combatting this sort of manipulative lying, or people will continue to suck it up. Get more ministers, with a positive message, on popular shows and radio stations and push the positives. Otherwise all we have is this rubbish!
