Farage is Putin Apologist, Ex-Chancellor Philip Hammond Says
Former UK Chancellor of the Exchequer, Philip Hammond called Reform Leader, Nigel Farage a 'Russian apologist' for saying that Moscow was provoked into war with Ukraine. He also discussed the deepening gambling revelations reported by the Sunday Times, alleging a senior Conservative official made dozens of bets with bookmakers that Sunak would call a July election. He joined Bloomberg's Lizzy Burden and Tom Mackenzie on "The Pulse with Francine Lacqua."

*Yes, Putin invaded Ukraine to create the internal domestic conditions of Russia so that he could remain indefinitely in power…*
Philip, a person of highly questionable repute.
Go Farage ❤️ 🇺🇲 🙏
This would be typical of Hammond, his party is on the sinking ship & it’s going down fast: the command from the captain Sunak-abandon ship🤣. The old man Hammond destroyed the UK economy when he was chancellor and now when your drowning, you get very desperate and say many things when you know the next PM will be Farage!!!🙏
Philip Hammond has had his day and so has his vision of what He see's as a credible opposition. Who needs the putrifying remnants of this sad and desperate old has-been party?
REFORM ONLY WAY TO GO
I miss proper politicians.
ADHD is a condition that affects many adults
They all say he is wrong but never give an answer to why he is wrong. Ostrich approach to Russia is not a solution.
SAVE OUR COUNTRY FOR PETES SAKE. VOTE REFORM AND SAVE OUR COUNTRY WILL YOU
Farage is NOT as corrupted as the others! For EVERY commission of arms or cash to Ukraine, there are BONUSES for the politicians who voted for it! CITIZENS are squeezed of their money that could be invested in the country infrastructure, education and health care.

Farage wants tax cuts, not investment. You can't do both. And he would let Russia invade other east european countries if he became PM. He's a dangerous Putin-apologist.
During his 20 yrs as an MEP Farage made speech's in the european parliment about how the EU and other countrie's causing tension's in the Ukraine and how it would end in war.
the rich get richer and the poor are made to feel grateful for what they have
Why interview a "yesterday man"?
Maybe NOT an apologist but more someone with just a little bit of RESPECT for a guy who has a button marked DESTROY ENGLAND
The challenge is that it is not easy to reform a centrally controlled democracy. There are no spontaneous experiments and there is no incentive to solve the long-term problems either on the part of politicians or voters.
A vote for the Consocialist is officially a vote for Liebour.
Farage may not be perfect but he sure is better then the rotten Tories. Hammond just convinced me to give another £10 to Nigel.
Plain dumb ignorance! anybody who puts the other side is accused of being a Putin apologist!
*N.A.T.O. a provocative alliance, Neville Garage? Yes, recently N.A.T.O. ruthlessly invaded Finland and then Sweden…* Seriously though, N.A.T.O. had not otherwise expanded east since 2004; and by the way, Putin was just fine with it back then. *Neville Garage has since lost my Reform vote.*
Russia was ready to end the war and withdraw its troops in exchange for Ukrainian neutrality just a few months after the invasion began and was refused partly because of ex-British PM Boris Johnson, who pressured Kyiv into continuing the fight, according to David Arahamiya, the leader of Ukraine’s ruling party. The lawmaker is not only leading the parliamentary faction of Zelensky’s Servant of the People party but was also appointed as the head of the Ukrainian delegation during the initial, tentative peace talks in March and April, hosted by Turkey. Russia’s ultimate goal was to press Ukraine into neutrality, Arahamiya explained, adding that all other requests (like the elusive ‘de-Nazification’) were essentially empty cosmetics, and neutrality would have been enough for Russia to agree to withdraw beyond the February 24th frontlines.
When did Hammond crawl out from under his stone
Was NATO acting defensively when its member states went to war with Iraq and Libya?
I have never really been a Conservative voter, but at the same time I do see that everyone is an individual in their own right. With that thought in mind, I think Lord Hammond makes some reasonable points and to be quite honest I don't think that he's too unhappy about the prospect of Keir Starmer as Prime Minister - obviously wouldn't really be his first choice, but he's realistic and obviously has enough intelligence to realise that there are much worse options So, let's just see what Keir and Labour can bring to the table.
So desperate they are to smear Nigel.... That shows how scared they are of him and the patriotic people that follow him and in fact of democracy itself.....
This are FACTS, UK WARMONGER
GO NIGEL GO!!!
I cant disagree with what Nigel has said. All the establishment can do is attack Farage but not his point.
Oh Mr Hammond God The Establishment Really Scraping The Barrel Trying To Pull Nigel Down In Everyway labour All My NEVER EVER AGAIN REFORM REFORM REFORM ALL MY FAMILY TO
Hammond is a fool, a teller of untruths or a warmonger.
What's your excuse Phil...?
Irrelevant.
Just the title is wrong if what people are saying that 2014 Maiden Square Armed10,000 people taking over government of Ukraine. With the Prime Minister was chosen by the United States of America.
Hammond was pathetic when in power so cannot see why his comments should be listened to now other than the Tories are now grasping at straws, particularly when one of his own Boris said exactly the same months before. VOTE REFORM and kick these apologists out if power.
Nonsense, Farage critised Putin. He just said NATO's actions gave Putin an excuse (not a justifocation). Hammond is just smearing

Farage is simply a front man for rich businessman, with the Brexit and Leave Means Leave campaigns, and now with Reform UK. For the benefit of the very few at the expense of the many.
