Reform UK party

Adjunct to my earlier post...

"Reform UK will shatter the Tories – without winning a seat. Insurgent party set up by Nigel Farage and led by Richard Tice will cost the Conservatives 96 seats, YouGov poll predicts.

Reform UK, the Right-wing party set up by Nigel Farage, will hand Labour a huge majority by drawing millions of voters away from the Conservatives, polling suggests. The former Brexit Party, now led by the businessman Richard Tice, will cost the Conservatives 96 seats, a YouGov poll predicts.

Without the influence of Reform, Labour would not win an overall majority, it is forecast. If Reform goes ahead with its plan to contest 630 seats, Labour will win a 120-seat majority.

In several recent opinion polls, around 10 per cent of voters have said they would back Reform, a similar percentage to the Lib Dems. Because Reform’s vote is likely to be spread evenly throughout England, Wales and Scotland, the party is not expected to come first in any seat."

In the past, I have erroneously claimed that Reform has no policy or manifesto. I was wrong.

My disdain for Reform, which I consider to be vestiges of Farage's previous political meddling, was justified when they chose to "bottle" on contesting marginal Tory seats in the 2019 election. According to Richard Tice, their current leader, this apparently will not happen this year.

“You cannot reward failure with more incumbency – you have to hold people to account,” he said. “They’ve failed, they’ve let the country down, they’ve broken the nation. And they have to be punished, and they have to be punished severely for what they’ve done to us all. It’s as simple as that.”

Some very radical and interesting policies. But it would require massive borrowing to fund them all, as the Government tax take would decline considerably. Cannot see it being practical. And scrapping net zero and boosting the use of fossil fuels - madness.

I could see many voting for this manifesto because it would make them a lot better off - IF they actually carried it through. Not sure what effect it would have on the GBP, but suspect it would go down.

The Plastic Chancer has thrown his hat back in the ring ......... for the moment, anyway.

Brexiter Nigel Farage returns to politics as Reform UK leader, challenges Prime Minister Rishi Sunak


Pro-Brexit campaigner and politician Nigel Farage has stepped back into front-line politics, announcing he will lead the right-wing Reform Party as a candidate in the upcoming British general election.

Mr Farage, 60, had previously said that he would not stand in the July 4 vote in order to help his friend Donald Trump fight the US election later this year....

..... Mr Farage said he would run in the seaside town of Clacton-on-Sea in his eighth attempt to win a seat in the House of Commons.

His seven previous tries all failed.......

"Plastic Chancer"... Gold!

I always thought "Mr. Flippy Floppy" was a bit hard for the linguistically challenged.

It appears that after Trump's convictions, Nige's US talk show bookings went through the floor so he needs a new revenue stream.

Here's something to cheer you up DM. The latest you gov poll places Reform in second place, just ahead of the Tories.

They have also nipped a point from Starmers lot.

Have a nice day.

Pie pillories EVERYONE. Hardly clickbait.

Here's his other two (so far) UK election specials.

Mr Pie is a youtuber and stand up comedian so how seriously can you take his political views , seems to get rave reviews from many who go to to his live shows and he has a big celebrity following .. making "comedy" vids that are politically current is in itself a form of click baiting surely.

Another fav comedian of mine is Stewart Lee .. as in with Pie he is an acquired taste comedy wise.

Look's like they'll garner Putin's vote now.

Thanks Nige if only for stating the bleeding obvious. For his efforts, a tract of otherwise blissfully ignorant British proles have been taught something new about the ins-and-outs of geopolitics.

Nevertheless, here's hoping they vote wisely.

[tamada]

The (unpopular) right honourable MP for Clacton is still hedging his bets on a Trump win and getting a White House advisory role. Then he can drop the pretense (again) of actually doing something useful with his political life and leave the potholes, pavements and anti-social behaviour of Clacton to the deluded proles that voted for him.

Farage says there’s some truth in Trump’s claim Haitian migrants are eating pets

Good grief!

Well done Nigel.
Thank you for providing an alternative to the absolutely useless 2 party situation in the UK (The pink with yellow spots Lib/Dems dont count as viable alternative).
The comfy little world where politico's exist in total isolation from the actual views of the electorate is being eroded quicker than the Republican vote in the US.
Nothing wrong in being popular with your supporters, cannot abide the sneering, look down your nose at populist policies some politicians who seem to have some kind of superiority complex about.
Imagine a political party in the UK who stand for UK values rather than minority or Woke agenda's. Who would have thought.

A change is indeed needed but Reform haven't been elected yet, so their being a "political party in the UK who stand for UK values" is just wishful thinking. At the moment, their salesman is doing a better job than the other parties salesmen.

I wonder what "UK values" actually means to the atypical Reform voter? Right now, they still appear to be a bit too England-centric to be seen as the UK's political saviour. They should make a push north of Hadrian's since the deplorable SNP are on the ropes and both the Scottish Labour and Conservative did a grand flounce decades ago.

As long as it doesn't go as far as AfD who have just been officially labeled as extremist by the untested German government in waiting, much to the POTUS's and his cabin boy's bum boy's rather loud and rude chagrin.

Given that the joke who call themselves Lib/Dems are officially a political party then Reform are a political party in spades..
I posted on a Scottish Forum after 2 weeks of Starlin being in place that if Liebour didn't get its act together then the dreadful SNP would have all its sins forgiven and would be voted in by the loony's who would rather see Scotland sink to 3rd World status than vote Tory.
I know popular sound bytes are easily done aka Trump, but even if this avalanche of lost votes sparks a little bit of reality into Starlin, Fat Angela and Rachel from accounts it might be worth it.
Starlin will have noticed that many of the people who voted for Reform also voted for leave in the big referendum, so ignore them at your peril Sir Backflip.

I never mentioned the Lib Dems but whatever floats your boat beyond using the silly names, carry on.

As opposed to your constant insults for anyone who doesn't vote the way you like, Pillockry as an example.

But you have absolutely no clue about how I like to vote, do you? You seem to think that you do and herein lies your problem, not mine.

If you think my opinion that the great British unwashed are exercising voting pillockry is terribly insulting, I'm sure they'll appreciate your concern, albeit superfluous and irrelevant.
