    He's saying that people with top 5% incomes should pay more income tax. Why do you think he wouldn't do that himself?

    Net worth =/= money in the bank.

    Leeching money from the state is quite socialistic, he is doing great on that front.

    I didn’t “get all whataboutery”.
    I didn’t say I supported him.

    Those were all projections/claims made by others, not me.

    But back to Farage - do you believe the rumours about him and National Socialism?
    I haven't heard the rumours so I couldn't possibly comment.

    Just saying like.

    Spear’s magazine - a bimonthly British magazine for high-net-worth individuals - reported that Jeremy Corbyn, MP for Islington North has a net worth of £3 million.

    The Wealth Management Survey has also said he has claimed over £3 million from the state since the late 1980s.
    So he's campaigning against his own self-interest and for the common good. Most laudable.

    Nope. I wouldn’t vote for him. He’s not PM material in my opinion.

    Correct. The Spears article doesn’t mention how they arrived at their figure, but they quote his current earnings.

    Did I state that he had been party leader for 30 years, or did you make that up?
