... to think that Nigel Farage will be our next PM?

Of course he would. Keep telling yourself that.

What is it that concerns you?

Wishful thinking probably.

Untrue then?

So you’re a Farage fan? I probably wouldn’t vote for either of them unless I really like their manifesto. but I’m curious why people think Farage has better chance then corbyn?

But Starter could personally stand on the cliffs of Dover with a howitzer, laughing manically as he shoots and sinks approaching dinghies with terrifying precision and many of the posters on here would complain he was soft on immigration. I agree they need to get a grip, but that means sorting out the chaos of the home office so claims get processed faster (and rejected claimants get sent back!), working with the French to curb the illegal boats. And directing police resources into disrupting the gangs involved in people snuggling and the illegal employment of people working in the UK. All of which is boring when you want an Australia style.solution or Alligator Alcatraz. And in the short term it generates headlines which make people think things have gotten worse (more raids on shops illegally employing people or laundering money/ more arrests of people smugglers means more stories about those things and worse crime stats)
There HAVE been noticeably more arrests and police disruption of criminal gangs. It needs doing so good. But it would never be seen by people already angry at Labour as a reason not to vote reform. So it's.sensible.from a governing perspective. But not politically much help. The flashy stuff (that video they did) looks tasteless to people like me and won't convince anti-inmigration types even though it's exactly what they say they want

Talk in the Telegraph started by rabble rouser Clive Lewis.

No chance of that, already there is talk of a govt rebellion against Starmer’s proposed “one in, one out” policy

If they had reformed PIP that might have seen off Nigel Farage. They caved in to the lefties. Waste of time.

Farage definitely will be the next PM.

Suckers.

I dread to think what life will be like!

Do they come up to you and talk about how much they love reform? Or is it that when you start talking about it they either agree or don't say anything? I am sure the young people in your life that voice disagreement love being called militant lefties. But yup, it's the left exclusively that is full of hatred/bile and insults people who disagree with them.

To keep Farage out of number 10, Labour have to get a grip on immigration, I think a lot of Reform popularity is really a protest vote on this issue alone.

This gets said a lot.

There is a spectrum though, isn't there? Yes, politicians of all stripes have been known to say one thing and do another, to a greater or lesser degree. Does this mean that we might as well just throw the baby out with the bath water and vote for the guy with the least integrity because "oh well, they're all at it"? NF has been shown to outright lie, lie by omission, mislead the electorate and shirk his political responsibilities in favour of his own financial interests repeatedly.

Hahaha

Hahaha

Hahahahahahha

Wait…..lemme catch a breath……hahahahahhahah

Well most of the young people i know love Reform…apart from a few militant lefties!

Can’t speak for anyone else. But awww thanks, yes.

Why Farage & not Corbyn’s new party?

But at least you and Nigel love the UK!

What a bar to aim for.

Everything is broken and he country is a dumpster. But hey, like some other countries, at least the dumpster is not on fire….yet.

Like all politicians then?

The UK isn't fucked. I have lived in lots of places and I still think the UK is.overall one of the safest, friendliest places I have lived in. I walked down the street early in the morning and everyone I passed (mostly dog walkers) smiled and said good morning. No one tried to rob me. People still say (usually) thank you to bus drivers (and the area I live in isn't particularly rich, it's mixed income quite diverse).
Our economy has struggled since Brexit but there are still emerging businesses in important industries and intelligent university students working on things which will come to fruition in 10 years time. We are still a top 10 economy. When a relative broke their leg really badly in the garden they shouted for help.and a neighbour heard them, called an ambulance who arrived and took them to hospital where they received world class treatment. It wouldn't even occur to him or me to be grateful for that.

There are loads of issues -we have poor productivity, since Brexit private equity has been buying up businesses and land, the NHS is strand often provides substandard care, we have too many people out of work through I'll health, house prices are too high and being driven higher by banks and foreign investors etc etc. But we are not fucked. It needs to get better but could be a lot worse basically.

I also suggest Mary Beard for the next PM!

And completely shit as an MP, but as long as he was good on I’m a celebrity, that’s all that matters.

Both. Completely out of touch with reality because Eliot was right - humankind cannot bear too much reality. They’re selling gullible people an unattainable fantasy, much like Johnson’s sunlit uplands.
