I know this isn’t a silver bullet. It might help some people find cheaper fuel, but it doesn’t mean that’s all we’re doing to help people with the cost of living. We’re cutting VAT on electricity bills. Capping bus fares at £2 in England. Giving disabled people 24/7 free bus travel. Making it easier to cancel subscriptions. Cutting business rates for pubs, clubs and music venues. Stopping schools from demanding endless expensive branded uniforms. Ensuring if your train is cancelled, you can use your ticket on other operators free of charge. Fuel duty is staying frozen to the end of the year. Yes, on their own, I accept that these things don’t seem like much when people’s lives have gotten harder. There’s a lot still to do. But I won’t shy away from the big issues either. It’s why I made announcements last week on more public control of water, energy, and housing, to make the basics better for people long-term. Together, these changes add up, and no matter how small it may seem, I will pull every single lever I can to help people, whenever I can.

I give out free menswear advice. As a result, I've received about a hundred emails in the last three years from people who shared their wedding-day photos and said they incorporated my advice. They all look fantastic — truly like a million, billion bucks. It makes me happy that they will look back on those photos and smile for decades to come, knowing they looked perfect. Additionally, because I put information out for free—never hawking it through some paid subscription newsletter or "buy my supplements" scam, like most influencers—I've been fortunate to grow a sizable audience. I've used this audience to raise over $100k for various animal welfare organizations, which is a cause I care about. Thus, by helping people get married, I've indirectly improved the birthrate in this country and employed some tailors in the process. This, in turn, has helped me raise money for animals. Unlike Jake Paul, I've never used my platform to enrich or aggrandize myself.
Well aren't you the mouthy critic? What, exactly, do you do to put youself in the ring, sir? What do you put your time, energy, and money into that makes this country better?

@LeakBot_HQ I'm trying to get hold of someone to talk to for a feature in Tech Radar on InsurTech. Can someone there help please?

Don’t worry if your A level results are a bit disappointing. I got a C and two Us. And during the World Cup I got 123,000 likes on a tweet calling Enzo Fernandez a cunt and earned £7.55

There was a time when I didn’t know who Nigel Farage, Rupert Lowe, Lee Anderson, Richard Tice, Suella Braverman, Robert Jenrick, Zia Yusuf, Tommy Robinson, Katie Hopkins, Laurence Fox and Adam Brooks were. And I really took that for granted.

What’s that, @DaleVince? You want to give me an unconditional personal gift of £5million to do whatever I want with? Sure! I just need to fill out a form. If I didn’t declare it that would be silly.
Faithful representation of the interview…..more importantly, this is a really important by election, called by Farage for no good reason - Count Binface is the face now of the anti Farage movement. It’s Bin Day in Clacton. We can be rid of the hyper toxic Farage, with his legion of dodgy funders and his Trump mini me antics. Britain doesn't need this man in politics. Bag him and bin him…:) telegraph.co.uk/politics/202…

Would love it if Starmer got his job back as head of the CPS and got Farage, Lowe and Robinson put in jail

If he was willing to say “Up the RA” for £87, what do you think he’d be willing to do for £5 million?

Every single price rise issued by a large corporation should be preceded by a 3,000 Word document explaining why they can't dip into their profits, and detailing what the money will be spent on, down to the last penny.

Isabel Oakeshott on Nigel Farage buying a £1.4m house: “I honestly don’t see why it’s anyone’s business. Why should people know how he paid?” Isabel Oakeshott on Angela Rayner buying a 2nd home: “I smell a massive rat. How on earth has she raised the money to buy a £800k flat?”

Nigel Farage has 5 houses. Zack Polanski lives in a house share with 5 other people. The media is trying to tell you Zack is the problem.
