To reckon that Reform will win the next election, and to be utterly terrified about it? 😪

Really?

Did you think I'm a Labour supporter?

"He enjoys being a cunt, that's all."

Like Starmer then?

I doubt anyone in Clacton will be voting for him.

Fuck all.

I don't think he really wants leadership. He enjoys being a cunt, that's all.

He would find an excuse to sell his company to the highest bidder quit at the first opportunity.

Or very Trump-like.... 🤔

This is very concerning ⬆️

The reason why Reform is incorporated as a company is to prevent anyone trying to initiate a coup

Yes. Exactly. It amazes me that some people can't see the problem with this.

There is no way to get rid of a bad leader, and Farage is a mini Trump 😬

For all its faults, I still prefer democracy, thanks.

In 99 days, Scotland has an election for our parliament. We have a form of proportional representation - you vote for a first and second choice. We have had 19 years of one party - whose avowed aim is to separate from the UK. Had not happened yet and is not very likely.
Many will vote against labour citing the months since the last UK general election, many will not vote conservative due to their last 14 years in charge at Westminster.

Some will vote SNP because they hate the English and cite events of hundreds of years ago. Some will vote because they sincerely believe Scotland can succeed independently.
A large number of voters are in positions which would not be adversely affected by independence. Some feel things will not be any worse under independence.

Some will vote Reform because they want "illegal migrants removed"
Watch and see how things happens here.
It is likely that Reform will get a lot of seats. Immigration is not devolved - so a Scottish government can do absolutely zero about illegal.or legal migration.

So in power have the SNP achieved their aim - no. Have they run Scotland well?
Would Reform achieve their aims in Scotland - no, not possible. Would they run Scotland well?

Farage was a campaigner he wasn't in power so couldn't implement Brexit - that was up to the government to plan and make the best of the freedoms that Brexit gave us. The government was stuffed full of remainers who tried constantly to stop any progress.

Hope they do, can’t wait that long

Yep the numbers are publicly available anyway. They were minuscule and we took more than returned. It’s not just us it’s how the DA is structured, it’s not a way to send many anywhere. If it could do that Germany, ROI and EU would be using it to resolve their issues.

That is could be used for high numbers is misinformation that gets repeated a lot.

The Dublin agreement was a waste of time many more migrants came here than were returned. The Times did a FOI on it. Brexit didn't cause more migrants it was a choice made by Boris.

Not a chance, they are a tiny party!

This

i said i would never do it again but I might be forced to

Reform UK led councils are under performing and putting their council taxes up despite saying they would cut them. They've closed residential homes and also there has been resignations and sleaze. To be honest with the recent defections to Reform from the Conservatives it is becoming Tory party 2.0 plus all the defections are from those who held high up posts in the Tory cabinet and caused the mess and chaos that Labour are trying to address. Farage has no experience of government. The only experience he has is stirring up hate and dividing our communities and nation. Reform UK is not change it is Tory policies on speed!

A lot of what people put out is misinformation anyway. Of course we had people getting asylum before Brexit it was highest in 2002 until recently.

You're spot on, @Alexandra2001 .

My MIL, SIL and BIL all voted for Brexit and they're all now moaning about "boat people" coming over here "illegally". When I pointed out that the Brexit they'd voted for made entering the country to claim asylum much easier now we'd lost the Dublin Agreement right to return, they just looked at me blankly. They literally did not know what they were voting for.

And to add to my schadenfreude, SIL & BIL moved to a town that now has asylum seeker accommodation a few months before the asylum seekers were moved in. I'm afraid I can't resist pointing out that they voted for this every time they moan about it.

No pile on from me. Just pity.

I really hope Reform win power - along with millions of others. (I await the pile-on!)

True though.

How will they be a security risk?

I would do the same and feel the same about it.

Perhaps all of the real shites will have left them for Reform by then. It's still hard to imagine the Tories will have gained any competency, decency or integrity by the next election. At least they are a political party though and not a volatile business run by a racist bully and populated by the worst dregs of a failed Tory party.

Harsh but true.

That seems a bit harsh

He didn't deliver anything when he was an MEP for 20 years.
He's delivered nothing as an MP.
He will deliver nothing if he's ever in government.

I'm not sure Sir Keir is changing his mind. The left are forcing changes on him.
