# Farage under mounting pressure to prove he’s not full of shit
What a bizarre statement to make ?
Like why would you say something like that without evidence and surely as an MP and a party leader, anything like that would be handled by the security services not a private digital sercuity company?
It’s a pretty clever distraction to be honest. He is admitting he wanted to keep it secret but now we are talking about a silly lie and not why he is taking massive bribes and what that buys his benefactors
Surely he reported it via the correct channels when it happened and people can verify what he’s saying right?
Guy was on Russia today constantly. He’s just bullshitting as usual.
Quickly, set the phone’s OS language to Russian, then take a screenshot.
So the £5M ‘gift’ for his security failed to provide him with adequate security?
Interesting claim given that he’s been advancing the interests of Putin and the Gazprom board of directors for decades
If Farage was Prime Minister, this is the exact moment he’d invade Greenland.
Everytime he opens his mouth he seems to land himself in more shit.
Classic right wing projection. Take Russian money, get found out, blame Russia for the leak…. it couldn’t possibly be Russian money, they hacked me and leaked it.
It was in the Mail yesterday so it MUST be true
Lots of /s
Hello,
We are about to launch an all out attack on your ph0ne
Sincerely, the Russians
Does it matter if the information was revealed by Russian hack? Does it change the fact that it’s dodgy as all hell to receive such a gift? We are focusing on the wrong aspect!
Most people who get a text from a Russian mobile wouldn’t click the link… Farage however just assumes Vlad has switched numbers.
Shouldn’t the “gift” have been disclosed pro-actively without the involvement of “russian” “hackers”?
Everything he says should be replied to by stroking the chin and saying “mmmm chinny bob bob” and then peanutting his tie.
“I was only exposed as one of the most corrupt politicians in recent UK history because someone cheated, so it shouldn’t count!” – NF 2026
He really should just sod off to America where you can spout this rubbish and not have anyone follow up on it.
Was else did these Russian’s find? They’ve been very quiet about any other Farage misdemeanours.
Whatever, he got the 5 mill.
Who cares how we found out?
Why does anyone care?
As pointed out before, the story here isn’t ‘someone evil REVEALED Farage was taking bribes’, the story is that *he was taking bribes at all*.
They might as well report a murder by treating whoever found the body as just as bad as the killer!
Hoping this implosion is as spectacular as its lining up for, happening earlier than expected.
This time there will surely be consequences. The last 15 times he did something politically disqualifying there weren’t any, but I’m sure that this time is different.
People haven’t seemed to realize that he’s has very effectively learned the primary lesson taught by his orange-tinted mentor across the pond: you cannot shame a person who refuses to feel shame. The entire political landscape is based on norms that Farage just opts out of.
If Farage doesn’t actually get prosecuted for something, is there *anything* anyone can do to him to make him feel the consequences of his actions?
Did he take a 5 MILLION POUND bribe to trick the UK out of the EU? With big lies about taking our country back and loaddsa money for the NHS? Did he do that?
