A thread 🧵 on the debacle that is Bournemouth's vigilante group Safeguard Force and how it launched.

Scotland fans have arrived in the USA

So you can help set up a private property development company that costs BCP council millions but delivers nothing, run council finances into the ground, run the most toxic council in living memory, fail to pay your correct council tax, move to Dubai and still get awarded an OBE?

Nigel Farage explicitly and repeatedly claimed in late 2024 and early 2025 interviews (after his election as MP for Clacton) that he had bought a house in Clacton. To Sky News (November 2024): “I’ve just exchanged contracts on the house that I’ll be living there in – is that good enough?… I’ve bought a house in Clacton. What more do you want me to do?” To LBC (January 2025): He stated he had bought a house in Clacton, adding details about being seen out shopping locally. The truth, widely reported in the 'mainstream media', is that the £885,000–£900,000 detached house in Frinton-on-Sea (part of the Clacton constituency) was purchased outright in November 2024 solely in the name of his partner, Laure Ferrari. Land Registry documents list her as the sole owner; Farage has no legal or financial stake in it. In September 2025, after the discrepancy was highlighted, Farage admitted he was wrong to phrase it that way. Phrase it that way? This was not media distortion of his words—the claims he made are on record in multiple interviews, and he later acknowledged the inaccuracy. He lied. Repeatedly. And now the pathetic coward is hiding from scrutiny and accountability. Here are several documented cases where Nigel Farage made claims that were proven false, misleading, or which he later admitted were wrong (beyond the Clacton house example). all of which the 'mainstream media' highlighted: 1. £350 million a week to the #NHS Farage and the Leave campaign prominently featured the claim that the UK sent £350m a week to the EU, which could go to the NHS instead (on the famous battle bus and posters). Reality: This was the gross figure before the UK rebate and other receipts; the net was around £250m or less. Post-referendum, Farage distanced himself, calling it “a mistake” and saying “I would never have made that claim.” He noted it wasn’t his advert but had not openly condemned it during the campaign 2. Migrants eating swans in Royal Parks (2025) Farage claimed on LBC that “swans were being eaten in Royal Parks” and carp taken from ponds by migrants from “different cultures.” Reality: The Royal Parks authority stated there were no reported incidents of people killing or eating swans in the eight Royal Parks. Police and fact-checkers found no supporting evidence for the specific claim. 3. Shoplifting up to £200 goes unpunished (repeated, e.g. 2024–2025) Farage claimed you can shoplift up to £200 before prosecution. Reality: False. There is no such £200 threshold; prosecutions occur for far smaller amounts, and police/courts have handled many cases below that figure. 4. 2.4 million people “settled” in the UK in two years (2024) Farage stated 2.4 million had settled. Reality: Gross arrivals were around that, but many were temporary (students, workers on contracts). Net migration was far lower. Not all “settled.” 5. Local election candidates shouting “Allahu Akbar” and “we are coming to get you” (2024) Farage claimed this happened in Leeds, Burnley, Bradford, etc. Reality: One candidate in Leeds did say “Allahu Akbar” (a common celebratory phrase) and made Gaza comments (later apologised for). No evidence for the other locations or the “we are coming to get you” threat. 6. Crime statistics: Farage has repeatedly claimed police-recorded crime shows rises contradicting official falls; fact-checks often note selective use or context missing (e.g., reporting changes, post-pandemic effects). 7. Immigration/economy claims: Multiple fact-checks on net migration impacts, housing needs, and economic comparisons to the EU have been rated misleading or false in presentation.

Never forget that as Elon Musk became a trillionaire today, it is estimated that 750,000 people have died as a result of his cutting of USAID. The majority of those deaths were children.

Please tell us again @JDVance and @marcorubio how the US is safer than the UK.

That Covid Test Track and Trace money would come in right handy now, does anyone know where it is yet?

Hi @RobKenyonReform, quick question, what makes 'Ant and Debt' Ant Middleton your hero? Is it: a) Him taking out a £2.7million director's loan before his company went bust owing £1,199,773 in tax to HMRC? b) Being officially banned as a company director because of a)? c) His abandoning his team and film crew on Everest to go to a spa? d) His being found guilty of wounding a male police officer and assaulting a female officer outside a nightclub? e) Him being dumped as Reform UK’s London candidate? f) his Dubai hangouts with with Tommy Robinson? #Makerfield, this is who Rob Kenyon's hero is. #AntAndDebt

Self-professed sexist calls man who assaulted female police officer his ‘hero’. Reform UK has a serious problem with women.

Would that be the Reform UK whose MP's voted against upskirting, drink spiking and stalking women laws?

You were convicted in court in 2013 of common assault on female police officer PC Katherine Alison and unlawful wounding of male officer PC Christopher Brooksbank outside a Chelmsford nightclub. Sentenced to 14 months, served 4.

Southampton Police say that policing the Southampton Riot on June 2nd cost £450,000 Is Farage or Tommy Robinson or any of the so called patriots going to pay for that?

A-level music and drama entries in England have fallen to their lowest levels ever recorded, according to provisional entries published by Ofqual this week, which also revealed GCSE entries for the subjects have dropped. artsprofessional.co.uk/news/…

Good to see Ant Middlton campaigning for Rob Kenyon in Makerfield. Who better to help push the message that Reform is on the side of local businesses than someone who lives in Dubai and is banned as a company director for dodging £1m in tax?

Thank you to the intervention of my MP @JessicaToale and her staff I now have a passport again. The catalogue of errors from HMPO has been incredible.

Perhaps the @Bournemouthecho might want to do some due diligence before getting into bed with this vigilante group.

Remember when Starmer was criticised for having his glasses paid for? Man of the people Nigel Farage was given five million pounds.

Cold and calculated throwing of bricks at police officers???
