Nigel Farage is enriching himself while trying to plunge British families into poverty - Yorkshire Post Letters

A recent report calculated that by the end of 2027, Donald Trump's illegal and ill-conceived war against Iran will have cost every UK household £2,400 in energy and fuel costs and the knock-on effect on family bills.

Interestingly, Nigel Farage said about Trump: 'I've never ever waivered in thinking...that this man was a good thing not just for America but for peace in the world'. He said Trump would 'make the world a better, safer place'.

The plight of British families somewhat contrasts with Nigel Farage's own finances. Just over two years ago he said he wouldn't go into politics unless he was given £1m a year. To tie poor Nigel over he was subsequently given £5m by a Thailand based cryptocurrency billionaire, and he conveniently decided not to declare it.

Reform UK were then given covert finance and other support from a convicted fraudster. They are now again wracked with financial controversy, appearing to be willing to accept illegal donations, with Farage himself having thanked the potential donor.

But what are Reform UK thinking of doing for British families? Well, they'd bring back the two-child benefit cap, throwing 450,000 children into poverty. They would cruelly cut disability and sickness payments by up to £10,000 per person annually, plunging hundreds of thousands of vulnerable people, and in turn even more children, into poverty.

It rather seems that it would be better for British families if Nigel Farage scurried back to see his American hero, and just stayed there.
