Explained in plain English

Why post on X, not TV?

Nigel Farage frequently uses X (formerly Twitter) to deliver strong, immediate messages that bypass traditional media filters. This allows him to control the narrative, reach his audience directly, and often generate significant media attention as news outlets then report on his posts. It's a strategic move to maximise impact and frame political debates quickly.
