Farage SLAMS Remoaner MP Mike Gapes: “Fake News!”
In a Twitter tirade this week, former UKIP Leader Nigel Farage has blasted the remoaner Labour MP Mike Gapes as being “#FakeNews” after Gapes accused Farage of attending conferences in Russia.
However, Farage himself claims that he has never been to Russia, and it is rather unlikely that he has been to a conference there that he was unaware of.
In a tweet, Nigel said:
Yesterday in the House of Commons, @MikeGapes said I attended conferences in Russia. I’ve never been to Russia in my life.
Will you please withdraw your comment, Mr Gapes? This is #FakeNews.

However, as one might expect, no such withdrawal followed of any kind. Just to keep the pressure on, Nigel tweeted the following day saying:
Has the cat got your tongue @MikeGapes? You haven’t retracted your false comments about me yet. https://t.co/rySsX56dmp

Gapes said: “Putin has, over recent years, tried to develop a relationship with various groups in Europe to further his own national interest
“He has used, in that process, a man — an ideologist — from the far-right who has connections with the American alt-right and with people including Nick Griffin, Nigel Farage, and Marine Le Pen, who all attended conferences in Russia.”
Evidently, this isn’t the case…
Sue him Nigel!
Mike Gapes is in Parliament. Why ? and How ?
He should be in Parliament to sell to the electorate Labour’s ideas, and to be a member of the Loyal Opposition to this Tory Government. Since Labour have no ideas, I suppose it is reasonable to expect him to go into flights of fancy, but could he leave the cheese alone, before he goes to bed, and then tell us his dreams, as facts ! ? !
The only way to become an MP is for constituents to vote for him. It might be a wise suggestion to recommend to those constituents that they either find a better representative, or at least a better numb-nut !
