You shouldn't have to pay any inheritance tax, as you've already been taxed on that money. When my grandad died, it was particularly sad because he was too young for my grandma to receive his pension. That's disgusting. Reform has sensible positions on immigration and inheritance tax, so I stand with Nigel Farage.

I am very sorry to hear how troubling recent reports have been for you, he wrote. We fully recognise the seriousness of the behaviours described in the media, and we understand why you and others who were at the college during that period have felt compelled to speak out. Allegations of racist and antisemitic conduct are profoundly distressing, and it is important to say clearly that such behaviour is wholly incompatible with the values the college holds.

Twas the fortnight before Christmas and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. Apart from a few exceptions. Labour backbencher Matt Western had managed to secure an urgent question on President Trump's new national security strategy and the Commons itself was remarkable for its absences. A roll-call of dishonour. Take Nigel Farage. You would have thought he would have had a lot to say on the subject.

A lot of people are coming out saying he did say those things. He should just apologise. If he just said: You know, I was a kid, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that. It was wrong. People shouldn't speak like that,' this would all have gone away. And that's the problem. It's not that he's racist, that he doesn't care.

Speaking ahead of the meeting, Bardella told the BBC's Nick Robinson he believed the "extremely resilient" Reform UK leader would become the UK's next prime minister. The 30-year-old French MEP is leading in opinion polls to win the first round of the next presidential election due in 2027. A Reform source said the two politicians discussed small boat crossings and energy policy, particularly nuclear energy. Farage has in the past kept his distance from NR, the successor party to the National Front (FN), formerly led by Marine Le Pen.

You can normally set your watches by Reform. It's a rare Monday morning in which Nigel Farage doesn't pop up somewhere in central London to give a press conference. Even when he has nothing new to announce, he usually has no shame in saying something he's said before many times. He likes the attention. Makes him feel valued. Satisfies his rampant narcissism.

Nigel Farage has again denied the allegations of racism as a schoolboy and repeated his claim that some had been concocted because people disliked his politics. During a press conference, he snapped at one reporter who asked about the issue, saying: I think we've gone quite a long way towards answering all this, don't you? Farage, who prides himself on answering numerous questions at press conferences, took 10 this time, but did not include any from the Guardian.

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground.

It is a grey morning in Shadwell, east London. But inside the old shell of Tobacco Dock, the gloom gives way to pulsating neon lights, flashy cars and cryptocurrency chatter. Evangelists for Web3, a vision for the next era of the internet, have descended on the old trading dock to network for two days. For many, the main event is one man: Nigel Farage.

Labour Party Chair Anna Turley accused Farage of "panicking and desperately trying to backtrack" on his views about Putin. Turley said Farage "can't help himself" and was "still peddling the Russian line on their illegal invasion of Ukraine being the fault of the West," in the interview with Bloomberg's Mishal Hussein. "Putin doesn't have to pay Nigel Farage to spout Russian talking points - he does it for free."

Nigel Farage has been urged to explain why a US anti-abortion advocacy group helped arrange a meeting in London with Trump administration officials and diplomats. The meeting, first reported by the New York Times, took place in March between Farage and a delegation from Trump's state department, which it said was overseen by the US embassy and brokered by the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) group. The meeting was said to have discussed abortion rights, free speech and online safety laws. ADF, which supports free speech and religious freedom, has worked in Britain to help challenge the prosecutions of Christians who were arrested for praying silently outside abortion clinics, breaching buffer zones.

"Liberal Democrats will stand firmly behind Bank of England independence, just as we have stood against recent attacks on the independence of our judiciary. "Trump's threats to sack governors of the Fed if they don't do what he wants are causing economic panic in the United States," Sir Ed said. "That is the last thing we need here at home - we cannot let Trump's America become Farage's Britain."

Could it be that, like most narcissists, Nigel Farage is actually a bit thin-skinned? Surely not! Not our fearless Nige! The man who is never happier than when he can cast himself as the outsider a lone voice speaking truth to power. When he can control the narrative. A saviour rising from these streets. The politician who only knows he's alive when the cameras are rolling.

Ed Miliband has told Elon Musk to get the hell out of our politics and our country in a dramatic intervention on the main stage of the Labour Party conference in Liverpool. The energy secretary's criticism of the tech billionaire came as part of a wider attack on Reform leader Nigel Farage, who he claimed is part of a global network who together want to destroy the ties that bind our communities and our way of life.

It is an association Labour seems particularly keen to conjure in relation to the leader of Reform UK. Speaking at the party's conference in Liverpool, Keir Starmer said Labour offered an alternative to the division and decline under the snake-oil merchant Nigel Farage. The prime minister's chief secretary, Darren Jones, also described Farage as a snake-oil salesman, comparing him with the misogynist influencer Andrew Tate.
