Conservatives caused all of this by fucking up so spectacularly over so many years. The idea that they will save anything is laughable.

Show quote history

Well Labour won’t be saving anything either. Also laughable.

The conservatives. Again, not perfect but compared to the current clown show ….

Conservatives caused all this - because of the shambles they turned into towards the end people voted Labour thinking they would be different. Now we’re stuck with the most useless government in history and as a result, Reform will follow. If they fuck it up, the conservatives will come back.

If Labour get in for a second term, Rupert Lowe will follow them.

Maybe you could spend less time ranting and more time reading? That way, you won't have to keep going off on one for no good reason. Just a thought.

Is that so? Well your interpretation of ranting really doesn't carry much weight. I take the opposite of your logic and proceed forthwith. That's a democracy for you.

I didn't get any further than this thread is about Farage. Even when it isn't, his name is shoe horned in. I think I can be forgiven for being confused about the sudden rule change.

I think they’re going to get in and yes they will fuck it up. I think to get rid of him once and for all we’ve got to let him sink alongside the ship and then hopefully we can try and rebuild the wreckage down the line.

There is infighting in the CURRENT government. How about focusing on that.

Show quote history

well this thread is about Farage not Labour as is my response, sorry if that is confusing for you

There is always infighting in parties but when you have a small party and a number of large egos as Reform now have (and had already splintered) you have a problem and that is great news in my opinion

Infighting has played its part in ruining Labour’s chances on a few occasions less so for the Tories but the difference is that Labour is a well established party, as are the Tories and the LibDems with a wide range of policies that attract a wide range of voters, having a party that is solely focused on one issue does not attract voters in the same way look to Greens as an example

They were white, nobody cares. That’s left wing Britain for you.

Yes, white is a dirty word in the 21st century, that's before we even get to being working class. I'm glad people are pushing back against the modern day form of fascism.

You think the left support vulnerable people? When is that going to kick into action with the white working class girls who were raped?

I'm not even left wing, certainly not by modern measures.

I find it inexplicable that the modern right is so tolerant of the intellectually sub par within their own ranks yet so opposed to support in general for vulnerable people

I hope to god this is true, but I am reading a thread about charity funding on this site and it is full of people who sound like reform voters or people leaning that way. And I live somewhere with a Reform council, who are fucking useless, because the local hard of thinking felt that they needed a bunch of people with no track record for a fresh start. Its been an unmitigated balls up.

I'm wondering if one can't handle the outcome of a GE, whether they are capable of voting in the first place. Meritocracy is a marvellous barometer but the left don't seem to care much for it.

I did, it was a thrilling minute or so. And hey - you seem to have stopped with your faux #BeKind indignation, so it's worked out nicely!

Ok I don’t think I’ve ever used be kind but as long as you found it thrilling.

It won’t happen

Farage is an agitator he isn’t interested in being PM

I see that have made Robert Jenerick as their shadow chancellor 😆😆 having these ambitious Tory failures is obviously causing concern

won’t be long until there is party infighting for leadership and it’s not strong or members experienced enough as a party for this not to ruin their chances

not that Farage will care he will just form another party and start again

There is infighting in the CURRENT government. How about focusing on that.

PandoraSocks · 17/02/2026 21:22

I wonder how much money Farage is making out of it all?
