Amazing bit of 2019 footage this. Frei doing a great job of trying to hold Farage to account as he and Nathan Gill go walkabout. And I suspect Farage will come to regret his quip at the end about Russians if it does the rounds again.

Nathan’s mate Nigel sure did seem to want to brush it all away when questioned by Matt Frei back in 2019.

John Prescott was at our wedding in 2002....well he had breakfast with his team at the table next to me, in the posh hotel we were getting married in later that day. I've never heard anyone swear so much at 7.30am, my kids would have loved it!
