ITV bans politicians from taking part in I'm a Celebrity!! Get Me Out Of Here, after Reform Leader Nigel Farage took part last year - as insider claims 'people have had enough of seeing politicians on their screens'..by Dolly Busby.i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2024/07/21/01/87579301-13655411-image-m-114_1721522949280.jpgSeveral former Tory MPs who lost their seats in Labour's election landslide might be desperate for a well-paid stint on reality TV. But one programme they won't be welcome on is I'm A Celebrity⌠Get Me Out Of Here â which has banned politicians after Nigel Farage took part last year. An insider at ITV told the Mail: 'They're not doing politicians this year. It's been a heightened year for everyone when it comes to politics, what with the General Election. People have definitely had enough of seeing them on their screens.' Matt Hancock, the former Tory health secretary, appeared on the show in 2022, followed last year by the now Reform leader and MP Mr Farage, who was paid a reported ÂŁ1.5million for his three weeks in the jungle. Both politicians came third as voted for by the public. The no-politician policy on the channel's flagship show â the third most watched programme last year behind the King's Coronation and the crime drama Happy Valley's finale â is a blow for ex-MPs hoping to remain in the public eye. i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2023/11/16/16/77887651-12758073-image-a-12_1700150960991.jpgPotential Tory frontrunners predicted to appear on this year's show included former business secretary Jacob Rees-Mogg, ex-leader of the Commons Penny Mordaunt and the country's shortest-reigning prime minister, Liz Truss. But the ITV insider said: 'ITV doesn't like to have the same line-up for more than two years in a row. You've got to change things up.' Mr Farage, 60, proved a tricky participant for ITV, regularly accusing the broadcaster of foul play during and after his stint on the show. He warned the channel's director Kevin Lygo against going to 'war' with him, claiming that his life had been made 'quite unpleasant' while on the show. Mr Farage said bosses deliberately censored him, reduced his airtime and chose to show him â but no other contestant â naked while showering in the Australian jungle. Supporters followed up his accusations online with calls on X for ITV to be 'held accountable' for censoring the politician. In the final week of the show, the controversy prompted I'm A Celebrity's hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly to declare on their Instagram live channel Jungle Club: 'I think we do a year without any politicians.'

Nigel Farage makes shock prediction Tory MPs will defect to Reform..by Sam Lister.i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2024/07/19/07/87516807-0-image-a-418_1721371936569.jpgNigel Farage predicts a handful of Tory MPs will defect to Reform within a year as he vowed to turn it into an electoral powerhouse. The party leader is open to Suella Braverman making the switch and insisted several Red Wall Tories would still have seats if they had made the leap. Mr Farage is promising to be laser-focused in turning the party into a huge organisation powered by members as he plots to win from "Kent to Newcastle". He told the Express: "There is an awful lot to do, I'm not deluding myself about that, but there's an appetite, an appetite for something very different than, let's be frank, two rather dull middle managers." Mrs Braverman is being tipped to switch party despite having been returned on a Conservative ticket just a couple of weeks ago. Mr Farage insisted no discussions have taken place but said there was a place in his party for "like-minded" people. Earlier this year ex-Tory deputy chairman Lee Anderson became Reform's first MP when he switched sides. He went on to retain his Ashfield seat despite a fierce fight from Labour, the Conservatives and local independents. Mr Farage said his main focus is on building up the party so it has a strong grassroots operation that will make it an "attractive" proposition for anyone thinking of joining up. Mrs Braverman fuelled speculation she is planning to defect with explosive attacks on the Conservative Party and potential leadership candidates but has since denied she will jump ship. Mr Farage said he has not spoken to the former home secretary and insisted all he is thinking about is building the party. i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2024/07/19/07/87504951-0-image-a-421_1721372042665.jpg"There's a place for like-minded people but is that what she wants?" he said. "I've no idea, it's not my focus." "I've spent zero time on defections. If they come about as an issue they come about as an issue." Mr Farage said a number of Red Wall Tories would still be in Parliament if they had followed Mr Anderson across the floor of the House. "Had a few of the others made that leap they would have been reelected, there are several seats where MPs, had they stood for Reform they would have won," he said. "I would be very surprised that within the next year some didn't make that leap," he said. "Right now we have to have something attractive to offer, that means building the voluntary structure right throughout the United Kingdom. "It's a big job but we are on it." He plans to raise funds and build the strong geographical base needed to win seats, focusing on the Red Wall and the east of England, "from Kent to Newcastle". Mr Farage added: "With a proper targeted plan we can raise the money, I'm very confident of that." In a message to Express readers, he said: "To those that did support us, thank you very much and to those that didn't, well I understand. "We were the new kids on the block but we have made this breakthrough. "I think what we stand for and what we are prepared to say in public, not just in private, will be in tune with the vast majority of Express readers." i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2024/07/10/18/87170647-13620963-image-a-23_1720633151786.jpgReform broke the 70,000 members mark at the weekend, getting on for double the number who joined Ukip at its height. Mr Farage said he was going to "democratise and professionalise" the party after getting it out of the blocks and his first big job is sorting out an autumn conference, which will be held in the Midlands. He said building a national party with local branches was a huge task but he is enjoying returning to frontline politics. But big changes will have to be made structurally to give the party the best chance possible of winning significantly more seats next time around. That includes introducing a proper vetting process to weed out unsavoury candidates trying to win on a Reform ticket. Mr Farage said the party would have won 30 or 40 seats if it had better procedures in place ahead of July 4. "It damaged us hugely at the end," he said. The Reform leader is popular on TikTok, a video streaming platform, with a recent clip of him telling protestors trying to disrupt his press conference attracting millions of views. He said that Reform has a much younger membership than Ukip and is particularly popular with the under 25s. The party leader said they were "much more aspirational, much more can do" than millennials. He said it is "amazing" meeting young people in Clacton who are "very enthusiastic, keen to have a laugh and a chat". "There's something almost cool about being patriotic again," he added. Mr Farage and his Ukip colleagues in the European Parliament were well known for eye-catching interventions in the otherwise often staid chamber. He promised that Reform will not hold back but said he will take his time to work out how they respond. "I'm not going to run like a bull at a gate," he said. "You will know we are there." The Reform leader intends to be selective about what he does, but said he will "intervene in a way that provokes national debate". He said Britain has got some very serious problems that "no one has got the guts" to tackle "but if we do address them we have got a bright future".

Nigel Farage's dire warning that some parts of UK ânot even recognisable as England'..by Sam Lister, Daily Express.i2-prod.mirror.co.uk/incoming/article33067575.ece/ALTERNATES/s1200e/1_General-Election-campaign-2024.jpgThe Reform UK leader said the party stands for "family, community, country" but all of those are "being damaged". He said "sectarian voting" has taken hold after tensions flared up at the general election over Gaza. There are "communities being destroyed by division," Mr Farage told the Express. "Parts of our towns and cities not even recognisable as being England." Mr Farage said many Muslims were worried about the growing rise in British-born young people who have extremist views. He said: "There is a deep concern about the number of young Muslims who think jihad is cool. And they were born here. So what's going wrong? "There is a problem and one that is very widely recognised by many, many Muslims." He added: "Our political class have built up social problems the likes of which we have never seen. "Not since Catholics and Protestants were killing each other have we seen divisions on this scale." Mr Farage said putting an end to identity politics, which focuses on race, religion or sexuality, would help end division. He added: "We have to make sure the law applies equally to everybody. "We have to fight hard against the culture of identity politics and the race thing is at the heart of all of this. "The dividing of us up into groups according to what colour we are, what sexual preference we are - catastrophic at every level. "This is where we are much more radical than the other political parties. They don't even want to talk about this stuff."

In the house,Nigel Farage has suggested, that we have a national referendum on either staying in or leaving the European Court of Human Rights.
Good idea and a fair one too.

'Nigel Farage is dead right - why the hell are we still a member of ECHR?' - Carole Malone..Opinion by Carole Malone.
i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2022/04/07/17/56338641-10696395-Columnist_Carol_Malone_said_in_the_documentary_she_feels_sorry_f-m-161_1649348751401.jpg Columnist Carol Malone Nigel Farage is dead right. The only way weâre ever going to stop the boats is by escaping the clutches of the ECHR which for years has prevented us from taking back control of our borders. Itâs outrageous- not to mention undemocratic - that a foreign court has been able to use its dubious power to stop us deporting illegal immigrants; even more outrageous is that it was instrumental in preventing the Rwanda scheme from ever getting off the ground. How dare a judge in another country who knows and understands nothing of what Britain or its people need, have the power to dictate who should and shouldnât come here. Other countries manage perfectly well protecting the rights of their citizens and keeping their borders secure without the help of interfering foreign courts - Canada, Australia and New Zealand to name just three. So why canât we? So surely the question shouldnât be "Should we leave the ECHR" but âWhy the hell are we still a member?" The whole point of leaving the EU was to take back control of our borders and reinstate our right as a sovereign nation to choose who can and canât come to live in this great country of ours. It should be up to OUR elected Government â together with OUR courts and judges - to chuck out foreign criminals who rape, maim and kill innocent people. But we canât because apparently, these criminals have a right to a family life here which would be funny if it wasnât so obscene and so damned dangerous. It should be the British Government who gets to decide what immigrants are allowed to stay here and what happens to the ones we donât want. It shouldnât be the job of the ECHR which itself does not contain any rights to asylum. But weâll never be able to do that as long as we allow ourselves to be ruled by it and take orders from this meddling institution. i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2024/07/23/15/87670661-0-image-a-16_1721745628336.jpgIt's like former Tory Minister, Tom Tugendhat, said this week when he threw his hat into the ring to be the next Tory leader: âIf institutions do not serve the British people and make it harder to control our borders then we have to exempt ourselves from them or leave their jurisdiction.â Tugendhat, who before becoming an MP served in Afghanistan and Iraq also said: âThe British people wanted control over their lives, their streets, their borders, trade and much more. "And we (the Tories) lost it.â Yes, they did and a Labour Party which has been in power just three weeks is fast losing the trust of the British people over immigration. Just look at what itâs done already. First, Starmer petulantly scrapped the Rwanda scheme â the only viable deterrent we had to stop the boats. Then Home Secretary Yvette Cooper announced the Government was giving asylum and amnesty to between 90,000- 120,000 illegal immigrants who under the Illegal Migration Act are not even eligible to apply for asylum. Now they will be because Labour is in the process of dismantling that Act. And just days later the scrapping of the Bobby Stockholm was announced. So Labour has done all that â but still weâve not heard their plan on stopping the boats. Whatâs blindingly obvious now is that there isnât one. In fact soppy Yvette Cooper has even re-branded the term âillegal immigrationâ and is now calling it â irregular migrationâ which makes it sound not quite as bad, not quite so criminal, not quite so wrong. If all this doesnât tell you where this Government is at in controlling illegal immigration nothing will. Starmer says it's not the case. So why doesnât Mr Socialist Man of the People put his money where his mouth is and ask the electorate whether they think what heâs currently doing is right? Give us a referendum on immigration. Iâm betting Starmer wouldnât have the guts to do it because heâd soon realise just how out of touch he and his immigration policies are with the British people. i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2024/07/23/21/87683409-13664983-image-m-36_1721765962736.jpgDuring the election campaign, the PM said he knew how angry Brits were about the millions of taxpayers cash being spent every day feeding and housing tens of thousands of people who shouldnât be here. But what heâs done these last three weeks has shown he actually doesnât give a stuff about what we think. This is all about what HE thinks. Starmerâs the man who when he was DPP declared that much of immigration law was racist. So there you have it â our PM thinks people coming here illegally should be allowed to stay because it's racist to chuck them out. Immigration is without doubt one of the biggest crises facing this country. Starmer himself even referred to it as a âquestion of national security.â Maybe Nigel Farage needs to start a campaign for a referendum on immigration in earnest. Heâs the man who forced David Cameron to call one on Brexit. Now his mission needs to be to make Starmer do the same on Immigration. If anyone can do it â Nigel can!

Nigel Farage 'appalled' by unrest and criticises 'uncontrolled immigration'..report by Sam Hancocki.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2024/06/04/02/85678117-13491115-image-a-16_1717463107575.jpgWe're continuing to see reaction to the protests over the weekend - including below, from Reform UK leader Nigel Farage. The "levels of intimidation and threat to life [shown this weekend] have no place in a functioning society," he says in a statement posted on X. "Deeper long-term problems remain," the Clacton MP warns, writing: "The majority of our population can see the fracturing of our communities as a result of mass, uncontrolled immigration, whether legal or illegal. Yet to attempt to debate this in the public arena leads to immediate howls of condemnation." "We must have a more honest debate about these vital issues and people the confidence that there are political solutions that are relevent to them." "A recall of parliament would be an appropiate start to this."

Someone posted 'Farage is quiet', but as Bonaparte said "Never interrupt your enemy while he's making a mistake, it would be bad manners". đŹđ§

Nigel Farage says 'public have woken up' as immigration tops new poll of issues facing UK..by Katie Harris.i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2024/07/31/22/88014605-13695445-image-m-48_1722462122748.jpgImmigration has topped a new poll of the most important national issues facing the UK. The YouGov survey found 51% of Britons say immigration is one of the top issues, up 10 points from mid-July. It is the first time immigration has come first in the pollster's tracker since 2016 and comes in the wake of the Southport stabbings and riots sweeping towns and cities across the country. Reacting to the poll, Reform UK leader Nigel Farage said: "The public have woken up and want the kind of action that Labour and the Tories will never deliver. "This is why politicians and the media are falsely accusing me of being involved in the riots." The poll found nine in 10 Reform UK voters said immigration is one of the most important issues facing Britain, along with 75% of Tory voters. While only 34% of Labour voters said the same, it is the highest level among this group since early 2017. Concern about crime has also surged by 19 points with 39% saying it is one of the top issues, putting it in third place overall. The economy is the second most commonly cited top issue facing the country, with 44% picking it. It comes as the UK has seen a week of violent disorder following the fatal stabbings of three girls at a Taylor Swift-themed holiday club in Southport last week. Incorrect rumours - that the suspect was an asylum seeker who arrived in the UK on a small boat - which spread on social media appear to have fuelled the unrest.

It comes as the UK has seen a week of violent disorder following the fatal stabbings of three girls at a Taylor Swift-themed holiday club in Southport last week. Incorrect rumours - that the suspect was an asylum seeker who arrived in the UK on a small boat - which spread on social media appear to have fuelled the unrest. Says the absentee MP reporting from Hong Kong on his way to the USA via China. The last point about the incorrect rumours being that the MP for Clacton helped spread those rumours.... You talk about rumours Terry,but an awful lot of people fell for last night's rumour didn't they? Who started it? The government, the Police, the MSM? One interesting point is that when you look at the photos this morning in the media, at every location in the country where people came out, they were all carrying identical placards. These had to be funded, wood purchased, printed off, nailed together and then distributed throughout the country, all within a couple of days. Somebody somewhere was aware of what they were doing. Why oh why are you obsessed with where Farage is? Parliament is on it's summer recess. He can go wherever he wants to. Farage is one actually calling for the recall of Parliament! Starmer is off on holiday on Saturday, and he's the PM ! Just what is your point?

Yes Oldie, It really is childish to attempt to label Farage like this.

Yep It is very encouraging that anti violent thuggery, anti racist, peaceful counter demonstrations could be organised so quickly. I particularly enjoyed the "Nans against Nazis" placard in Liverpool. Also heartwarming was the response to the guy who had his car torched by the thugs whilst on a 12 hour shift in a care home. The majority rules
