When Farage finally surfaced to face questions about the £5 million, he was visibly brittle: repeating 'nobody cares' and insisting it was his money to spend as he liked [1] — Cat Neilan "It's nobody's business. It's nobody's business what I spend it on. I can spend it on cars if I want to. I don't even have to spend it on se…" 07:15 . Cat reports that people working inside Reform are privately worried about his thin-skinned reactions, particularly his combative responses to female journalists — a pattern that prompted at least one Reform MP to privately apologise to a journalist on Farage's behalf. Alastair connects this directly to the Trump playbook: deny, deflect, repeat 'nobody cares' until the story dies. Trump, Alastair notes, has literally said on the record that he could be more corrupt in a second term because nobody punished him in the first. The question both hosts are circling: will that strategy work here, or does the British public have a different threshold?
