Page 10 | To think Lowe is going to wipe the floor with Farage?

Just that. AIBU to think this is the end of Farage?

The thing is and I say this as someone married to a highly clever working class man who doesn'tvote Reform. The reason people think the Reform voters are stupid is because they can't see that they're being played.
Its not to do with immigration, it's about making billionaires richer and more powerful.
I'll tell you who has the most contempt for working class people, its Farage.

Exactly! They can't see how they're being manipulated.

Lowe is another scourge on society. At least he'll help split the vote amongst similarly hateful people in certain areas.

Yep, that's the hope.

Do you think that premiership footballers came to Britain illegally in small boats and were housed in hotels prior to getting their contracts with their clubs?

You make no distinction between anyone who lives and works here who wasn't born here and you think people who support Reform are stupid and racist?

Don't get me wrong I'm not a fan of either Farage or this other guy but the snobbery and viciousness of the Mumsnet class about ordinary working-class people's concerns is so vile that I don't blame anyone for voting for them.

He’s an even bigger headcase so possibly.

I don't think it's racist or stupid to have concerns about irregular migration.

I do think it's racist and stupid to vote for political parties which have obviously racist agendas.

You can try to reduce it to a class issue if you like, but that's actually deeply offensive. There are tons of decent working class people who reject racism in all its forms, and who find the far right parties utterly repugnant. And there are plenty of middle class and upper class racists as well.

Well, let's be honest, none of these far right types are exactly known for their intelligence. It really isn't reasonable to expect them to have coherent or consistent arguments.

I know quite a few ex reformers that now support Lowe, as they think reform taking conservative MPs will dilute the party and as conservatives didn't ' solve' the problems when they had the chance as reform they won't either..
Bluntly they don't think reform are extreme enough.
They want mass deportations whilst supporting premiership football teams 95% foreign players 🙈🤣

After seeing how Rupert Lowe ran the football club I support, the thought of him having any kind of power is just horrifying.

I wouldn't be surprised. I think a lot of Reform voters are increasingly disillusioned with Farage.

MrsBennetsPoorNervesAreBack · 15/02/2026 11:12

With any luck, they will destroy each other.
