Politico: "Nigel Farage is demanding Keir Starmer allow him to nominate Reform peers to the House of Lords in a letter which makes the front of the Times." How on earth has this made the front page? It's the ultimate "he would say that, wouldn't he" story
Murdoch
The Times like the Torygraph is now just a right wing rag.
I imagine there are quite a few fascists in the Lords already. Surely he can persuade one or two of them to pay the price of joining his company (not party)?
Sharon Davies is going in, so techinically he has one in....
Why should he be allowed to do that. It’s only the 3 main parties can appoint peers and Reform is not one of them.
It wasn’t that long ago that he was calling for the Lords to be abolished. He also continuously mouths off about the so called ‘elites’ ruining the country. You don’t get much more ‘elite’ than the Lords.
For someone who hates the establishment, he’s rather desperate to join those ranks isn’t he?
Why is anybody reporting what the bollock faced foghorn of malfeasance have to say about anything ?
Lord Farage of bollock-faced foghorn.
Murdoch backs Farage. What are you confused about?
Mr Farage Ltd Co will say anything to stay in the news. He's a grifter. The more interesting question is what the media gets out of making sure he has the headlines. Clicks = revenue? Cheap columns = save money on journalism? Payment in kind (or not)?
They already have reform peers in the lords though, they are called TORIES…
Did he ask for anything else? Anything else we can get him and his less than half a dozen revolving door MPs?
I mean Tory ones get appointed - then they eventually grow into being reform ones
The media moving the Overton Window, again
Murdoch paper, 'Nuff said.
Man who protests about unelected bureaucrats wants his own unelected bureaucrats. I look forward to the MSM calling out the hypocracy not!
Irony has left the building.
Farage wants to be a peer because it would avoid the responsibility of being PM should Reform win the next election.
Why can’t we have a front page that says: all those rich people who the press said would leave if they were taxed didn’t.
I thought farage was anti the unelected bodies.... silly me!
The more we support quality independent journalism the better. The mainstream media has in general been corrupted by billionaire owners

The printed newspapers are losing their relevance. Which given their current state is no bad thing. More to the point one can trust the BBC to take any opportunity to promote that horrible little man.
So I can expect that to be the headline when I turn on 5Live. The BBC rarely ignore an opportunity to promote Farage.
It's the ultimate media supporting Farage's Reform company again (and again and again). A media driven by the salacious and controversial; never by quality reporting or a quest for truth.
Any demand from Farage, like any suggestion from Farage, should be binned and consideration given to doing the opposite as the likely right thing to do.
Whatever shit comes out of Farage's gob is broadcast far and wide. Can't we see what's happening in America?
It’s because a Reform the HoL Bill has been going through numerous hurdles for a year in Parliament and gets it’s HoC reading on Sept 4th. He wants to own it and play ‘victim’ 😂. Sad bstd..
Anti establishment so called politician demands the pm appoint members of his limited company into positions within the establishment. There i have corrected the headline for them
Isn’t the story that Farage and Reform want to abolish the Lords? So as with Green Party peers it’s an interesting tension
Especially as not that long ago he was calling for the Lords to abolished.
You can take Tony Gallagher out of The Sun, but you cant take The Sun out of Tony Gallagher!
"Lord Farage of Offshoreshire."
He likes brown envelopes. Dubious little fraud.
And he's talking a lot of something else that's brown.
Yes, unfortunately this is the state of affairs and has been with the right wing press for a long time now! Saturated in the ridiculous.
