They didn't invite him on because they wanted to but because they had to.
The failed to win 7 times is a red herring. Farage has shaped politics in this country miles more than many lengthy time serving MP's on any side of the house, and let's not forget has actually won 2 national elections as party leader, the 2014 European Election as UKIP leader and the 2019 one as Brexit Party leader.
Seems Farage, lives in Jo's head rent free. Like Trump lives in Wyot's head.
I agree Mark, Farage did cause panic to the establishment hence why the UK got their vote to leave. However, the establishment have gone out their way to ruin Brexit, sadly it's Brexit in name only. Starmer has admitted he is a globalist.
Wake up!

Holden is a sitting MP who has professed his loyalty to the seat he won and has now run away based on pure self interest because it's marginal and I actually think everything about him, his decision and that interview screams out COWARDICE about every fibre of the man. Although actually the way he spoke in that interview, in not wanting to engage legitimate questions has said so much more about the calibre of the man than if he had answered the question like a normal human being and not a pre-programmed automaton. He oozed a shocking level of arrogance and self entitlement. I agree with you Dave, and hope that constituency are paying attention and act accordingly. Apparently the local tory association are refusing to canvas for him at all and upping sticks and going to campaign for the neighbouring Tory MP instead.
Series 67, episode 10 of Have I Got News For You. Proving that garbage should have been off our screens long ago. Not a great thing to use to make your argument. That show has no BBC impartiality and is painfully past it, unfunny, over scripted and sneering at the slightly centre right leaning majority in this country. That's why it's lost much of the audience in the last 8 years, including me. Why am I going to sit through that and be sneered at week after week for my perfectly reasonable views?
The BBC don't know the real nation they broadcast to and they do not reflect Britain as it really is and when forced to do so they clearly come up short and do it with resentment. Just look at that newreader the other day on BBC who couldn't resist labelling Farage as 'inflammatory' and was clearly forced to apologise on air by her news editor boss.
Another thing about Holden before I go. He wasn't talking to some young wet behind the ears young journo there and trying to intimidate them, he was talking to Jon Craig who has been doing that job since 1982, three years before Holden was even born. That he pulled that attitude with him is astounding. Good for Jon Craig.
Seems that that the rest of Europe have had enough of wokey politics.

My reply was to Green Man. Greg's reply wasn't visible at that time. I can see your points, Greg, though I don't necessarily agree with them all.

Failed by vote rigging Jo.
Ballot boxes turn up late or missing or even takes days after the election to count up. Votes have even turned up in shopping bags.
