    Ask yourself how much Mr Farage is worth - despite never working a job paying more than £100k per year. Believe me, its a nice salary but it isn't enough to become a millionaire on.

    He's had plenty to say on Question Time. He really wants to cut down the layers saying we need a local and central government and that's it. It won't be good for any mayors and other government layers he feels we don't need.

    Yes he said plenty and often without answering questions. Usual Reform tripe.

    Tony Blair, Rishi Sunak, David Cameron.

    Jeremy Corbyn and Gordon Brown would probably be my go-to leaders.

    It really ***** me off just how many people can look past corruption on their own 'side' or pretends just because ones worse than the other, that it doesn't matter about said other. I suppose its been going on for centuries so I shouldn't be surprised mate.

    Blair, Cameron and Sunak's wealth is all pretty legitimate isn't it?

    Blair - wife earned a lot more than him until he went on the very lucrative after-dinner speaking circuit.

    Cameron - family wealth, father was an investor.

    Sunak - father in law is one of the richest men in India.

    While I have issues with them all as people, that doesn't mean that any money they have was earned through corrupt ways. Blair's reported speaking fee of £300,000 per appearance is obscene, but for him to earn that it means someone has to be willing to pay it. And it seems that plenty are.

    Distasteful? Very. But I can't see how it's corrupt.

    Yes, if he's playing the long game. He's rich enough that foregoing even a £1m a year salary for a few years won't make a material difference to his wealth.

    If Reform get into power and he's unscrupulous about how he uses the knowledge and power that comes with that he'll be able to make many, many times what he could banking.

    Is Nancy Pelosi rich, or is she married to a very, very rich investor? Don't get me wrong, compared to us she's loaded but he is on a completely different level to her. Same as Rishi Sunak and his wife.

    He's never been asked a proper one. All we get is Kemi's gibberish and the pub bore rubbish from Reform.

    Are we really going to pretend she hasn't been doing insider trading just because she's not on the right?
