Some posters on here are inclined to the obsessive. Just mention Farage and they get so insecure Farage is far from being the only subject that triggers people on here. Nor is it a behaviour restricted to any particular demographic.

It's very revealing It's very revealing that Farage used his maiden speech to bash 'the remainder and possibly rejoiner Parliament ". He should get over it, isn't that what we're always told? Anyway, more importantly, he's got about a week to declare his extra Parliamentary earnings, so let's see what he admits and what he hides.

If you think Labour aren't trying to sidle us back into the EU I've got a bridge to sell you. Some people may say that you come across as a bit obsessed - you're probably not examining anyone else's travel expenses. Maybe you are. I don't know. But I doubt it. Why not seek to pick a fight with Reform on policy grounds?

They're trying, and I hope successfully, to repair relationships with our close geographical and trading partners after years of bad blood from Russian-backed Leave campaigns and general Tory mismanagement. Better to be friends then enemies. Better in than out.

I'd be surprised if the earnings thing wasn't something that he hasn't considered and dealt with previously given how many times he has run. Plus, the innuendo around this is coming from Tim Walker, a man whose journalistic career has dissolved into trying to position himself as Farage's nemesis to try to stay relevant. Oh, and dredging up stories about briefly meeting Starmer 30 years ago.

It's fairly clear that Sunak put a lot of effort into repairing relationships with Macron and vdL in particular (both of whom were rather positive about his efforts). As well as making an effort with less obvious countries like Belgium, Austria, and similar.

UK retirees who live in Spain (like my Remoaner brother-in-law) really ought to STFU about Brexit. It's none of their business. And Irish people? Them as well.
Two of the many issues which a well-crafted Voter Suppression Act ought to cover along with postal votes and the removal of people from the register if they miss three consecutive elections with a £10 fee for re-registering

Not that your point was relevant anyway You are a UK citizen, who chooses to live in a place which is under EU rules. So you would be substantially less affected by changes to the EU-UK relationship than most other UK citizens.

So you would be substantially less affected by changes to the EU-UK relationship than most other UK citizens. I make my voting decisions on the basis of what I believe would be best for Britain. Americans abroad get a vote in US elections. And the French, Spanish, Brazilians...and on and on and on Those decisions are based on the understanding that people may live and work abroad but are still citizens of their countries. Are you saying that people should give up their citizenship when they go abroad?

You shouldn't have to give up citizenship, but if you move abroad and are not planning on returning and pay no UK taxes, you shouldn't still get a vote.
