In an alarming U-turn in their relationship, Elon Musk has declared that Nigel Farage should be ousted as Reform U.K. leader because he doesn’t “have what it takes”. The Mail has more.
The X owner and world‘s richest man lashed out on his social media platform at his supposed ally, after spending the past week wading into British politics over sex abuse gangs.
Mr. Farage this morning referred to Musk as his “American friend” and refused to criticise him over remarks he made about Sir Keir Starmer and senior ministers which have been branded inflammatory.
The billionaire accused the PM of being complicit in the sex attacks by British Asian men, in his former role as Director of Public Prosecutions.
Farage used a BBC interview to claim Musk’s support for Reform U.K. makes the party look “cool” and helps it attract younger supporters.
However, at a Reform rally in Leicester yesterday he distanced himself from “hero” Musk’s support last week for the jailed English Defence League founder Tommy Robinson.
This afternoon, in a stunning blow to his Reform supporters, Musk, a close ally and aide to incoming president Donald Trump, wrote: “The Reform Party needs a new leader. Farage doesn’t have what it takes.”
However Mr. Farage refused to back down, replying: “Well, this is a surprise! Elon is a remarkable individual but on this I am afraid I disagree. My view remains that Tommy Robinson is not right for Reform and I never sell out my principles.”
It comes just weeks after they met at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida to discuss a donation to Reform, reported to be up to $100 million.
Yesterday, at the Reform conference, Chairman Zua Yusuf asked members to “picture the day when, in just a few years’ time, Prime Minister Nigel Farage triumphantly arrives at No.10 Downing Street, puts his briefcase down on the desk and takes a seat.”
Tories were quick to jump in to compound Mr. Farage’s misery. Huntingdon MP Ben Obese-Jecty tweeted: “Will you be standing aside Nigel? I’ve heard Rupert (Lowe, the Reform MP) is ready to replace you.”
And Andrew Lewin, the Labour MP for Welwyn Hatfield, added: “Ah Nigel, you should never meet your heroes.”
The owner of Tesla and X had a meeting that also included Reform treasurer Nick Candy last month, which Mr. Farage described as “historic”.
Mr. Farage also keen to promote himself as a fixer for new U.S. ambassador Peter Mandelson, after even being touted as an outside choice for the senior diplomatic role himself.
Mr. Musk wrote on his social media website X, formerly Twitter, on Thursday: “Free Tommy Robinson.”
But last night he distanced his party from Robinson, who is serving an 18-month prison sentence for contempt of court over social media messages about a teenage migrant, which began in October.
And the following day, Mr. Farage told GB News: “He’s very supportive of me. He’s very supportive of the party.
“He sees Robinson as one of these people that fought against the grooming gangs. But of course the truth is Tommy Robinson’s in prison not for that, but for contempt of court.”
Mr. Farage continued: “But equally, there are people in Britain who think that Robinson is a political prisoner. That’s the narrative that he’s pushed out. That’s how he earns his living but it isn’t quite true…
“We’re a political party aiming to win the next general election. He’s not what we need.”

What’s one more death jab sneaking onto the market? We’ll be expecting an official investigation into the excess deaths/injuries from the deployment of these gene therapies any day now, obviously…
”Bimervax, the COVID-19 vaccine developed by HIPRA Human Health, has today been authorised by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA).
It becomes the 9th COVID-19 vaccine to be authorised by the UK’s independent medicines regulator.
Bimervax combines a part of the SARS-CoV-2 virus spike protein with an ‘adjuvant’ – an additional ingredient designed to trigger a stronger immune response. It can be given as a booster injection in the upper arm, to those aged 16 years and over.
The clinical evidence for this authorisation is based on data from a study of 765 adults who had received primary vaccination with 2 doses of the Comirnaty COVID-19 vaccine and who were given a booster dose of either Bimervax or Comirnaty. The vaccine demonstrated a strong immune response, and the most common side effects were mild, and self-resolved within a few days of vaccination.”
So we are still on emergency approval, although there is no emergency? That is doublkethink of the worst kind. 1984 here we come, and it is almost complete! This is a me too response to a manufacturer from an alleged regulator that is so far as to be fit for purpose as to be criminally liable. So much for Quangos, ban the lot!
If SAGE estimated that 75% of COVID admissions where because of COVID and not because of a positive test upon entering hospital for an unrelated reason, it’s a safe assumption that the real number was close enough to 25% (probably from below) that they had to admit something to muddy the waters. And then, there’s of course the estimated.
If records had been kept proberly, nobody would need to have estimated the number as it would have been known. This is a tacit admission that – at no point during this ‘pandemic’ – the pandemistas really knew the number of COVID hospital admission because they really didn’t even want to know them. Which – in turn – implies that the pandemic of headlines and restrictions never coincided with a mass-outbreak of a highly infective and very dangerous disease. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been possible to turn a blind eye to reality.
The shocking bit here is how cheaply done all of these fabrications where. Eg, people listening to Ferguson despite his record of gross mispredictions on anything. If you really want know what’s going to happen in future, ask Professor Pantsdown and bank on the polar opposite happening.
Remember too that a PCR test did not show active infection, just that there might have been some contact. Remember 40 cycles is useless for diagnosis of active, 20 is more reasonable as an active infection indicator. Everything was lies from top to bottom. The figure was more likely to be 1%.

It will be interesting, if that’s the right word, to see what happens in future.
Shouldn’t we have seen a reductiion due to seasonality, dry tinder already gone and herd immunity?
It sems as though “covid” is still very prevelant and circulating widely, entirely as GVB predicted, due to the criminal folly of jabbing erstwhile fit populations with a none sterilising jab.
GVB also says it’s a myth that virus always mutate to a more benign/more transmissible state. Their apparent seasonality effect is mainly (obviously lack of warmth/sun/vitaminD3 are factors) due to herd immunity being achieved in the general population during winter exposure – which we can’t achieve due to the jab.
If he’s correct on the latter point, the jabbed world is in big trouble.

‘I confess that as time passes, I forget just how bonkers it all was. For example, in addition to our own Sages, we had Albert Bourla, Chairman and CEO of Pfizer, along with Gates, Biden, Fauci, et al., telling us throughout 2021 that vaccines stopped transmission. I’m sure, like me, you’ll still hear people say, “But they never said that vaccines would stop transmission.”’
Would you believe that a trusted expert speaking on the trusted BBC, as long ago as three days ago, is still claiming that the Covid vaccine prevents transmission?
If you find that hard to believe, listen for yourself, if you can bear it:
Dr Sarah Pitt – a “leading virologist” and “a microbiologist at the University of Brighton and fellow of the Institute of Biomedical Science” – clearly suggested on BBC Radio 5 Live on Sunday night that the vaccine prevents transmission. Talking to Stephen Nolan, 2:47:00 to 2.47:37 into the programme, here:
Dr Pitt said that if anyone is offered a booster vaccine:
“then they should definitely take it, because it’s much better not to get Covid, because it’s a really really nasty infection, and can have some very serious consequences for you, and you also don’t want to be passing it on to the people around you for the same reason, so definitely have the vaccine, if it’s offered to you.”
A couple of minutes earlier – at 2:45:40 – she stated that the vaccine is “very safe and very effective” and that if you “unfortunately experience quite severe side effects”, if you get to the hospital in time, you not only might be okay but you also have protection against Covid!
Anybody still proclaiming this codswallop after this long and after all the evidence that has been compiled which refutes these claims just sounds like they’re in the tight grasp of religious fervour, because it really has become more of a belief system for these cult figures now, in my opinion. They make baseless claims with nothing in the way of scientific evidence to back up their statements. They’re just saying words, basically. Pitiful really and should amount to career suicide if it weren’t for the fact we’re living in
Absolutely brilliant thankyou, I needed a laugh. Good to know there is an alternative universe. I might apply to Brighton University to see if I can also pick up a clown Phd, will they accept my village idiot Bsc and my fuckwitt Msc as entrance?
Undoubtedly. You simply need to write a meaningless thesis praising every one of these “Covid experts”. You can copy their data, I’m sure they have so much supporting this!

Rep. Jim Jordan, who inquired to the former Trump administration official: “When the government told us that the vaccinated couldn’t transmit it, was that a lie or is it a guess?”
“I think it was hope that the vaccine would work in that way,” Birx replied.

Nick, thank you for putting pandemic in inverted commas. So important.
If SAGE estimated that 75% of COVID admissions where because of COVID and not because of a positive test upon entering hospital for an unrelated reason, it’s a safe assumption that the real number was close enough to 25% (probably from below) that they had to admit something to muddy the waters.

Bourla, Fauci etc said it stopped transmission. The Pfizer study itself was never designed to test for transmission.
They cannot remeber saying this, now known as the Biden excuse!
