The Daily's Verdict

This author has a mixed reputation for journalistic standards. It is advisable to fact-check, scrutinize for bias, and check for conflicts of interest before relying on the author's reporting.

Bias

96%

Examples:

  • I can’t turn my back on the people’s army. I can’t turn my back on those millions of people who followed me, believed in me despite the horrendous things that were being said about me.
  • Make no mistake, we are unashamedly patriotic. We believe that it’s right to put the interests of British people first.
  • Mr Farage called out for 'blanket accusation'

  • I can’t turn my back on the people’s army. I can’t turn my back on those millions of people who followed me, believed in me despite the horrendous things that were being said about me.
  • Make no mistake, we are unashamedly patriotic. We believe that it’s right to put the interests of British people first.
  • There is a rejection of the political class going on in this country in a way that has not been seen in modern times. So the really big message here is what I’m really calling for, and what I intend to lead is a political revolt... a turning of our backs on the political status quo. It doesn’t work.
