Are you ok? You appear to be personally affronted by all the replies.

Not at all.
I just wondered where the info came from as there was nothing in the press, that's why I was disinclined to believe it.

And those vicious thugs at the reform conference bullying and assaulting a young woman shows them in there true light

It merely confirms what most of us have known all along.

Which is ?

At first i thought she was talking about a mailshot that went to all members asking them to stand in local elections.

But no, Reeves met her, in person, and asked if she was interested in becoming a Reform councilor.Blush

Here you go demanding evidence again.
Can't you read?
I said quite clearly see my post at 15.23, it's all there.

Yes, I do apologise. These pesky demands for evidence must be very annoying. I fully appreciate that Reform supporters aren't at all bothered about facts but I'm afraid they're quite important to the rest of us.

Anyway, I looked at your link. I saw a comment from a Reform party person confirming that he had asked her if she was interested in being a councillor and clarifying that he had not actually offered her the opportunity to stand. We don't yet know whether that's what she is referring to or not.

I didn't see the evidence about her not having a job. Can you clarify where this was referenced in your earlier post?

Poor Chris Reeve. The lift certainly doesn't go all the way to the top.

What "vicious thugs" ? You mean the two elderly people?

And it's "their" not "there".

It says "it was a casual conversation" not an offer.

I assume that the pp is referring to the violent men who assaulted the woman, as the extensive footage has shown.

One was pulling her hair and the other grabbed her by the face.

They didn't look 'elderly' to me. (Unless you think being in your sixties is elderly).

More about that statement by West Midlands Police:

It’s happened again: Another police force rejects Nigel Farage’s ‘security threat’ claims
https://www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/nigel-farage-security-threat-west-midlands-police-409487/

Things, somehow, took an even stranger turn on Friday evening. Farage was late taking to the stage, and it was eventually claimed by him and his team that the delay was due to a ‘security threat’ at the venue – purportedly issued by Counter Terrorism officials.

However, this version of events has been emphatically denied by West Midlands Police.

"The decision to delay the commencement of the leader of Reform UK’s keynote speech was made by Reform UK. We can confirm that Counter Terrorism Policing have had no involvement in the delivery of the Reform UK Party Conference 2026.” – West Midlands Police

It's happened again: Another police force rejects Nigel Farage's 'security threat' claims

Following in the footsteps of Essex Police last month, West Midlands Police have also scoffed at Nigel Farage and his security claims.

She was never asked to be a councillor - she lied about that. See my previous post at 15.23.
She doesn't have a job, she's a professional agitator for some nutty lefty group.

Edited

She lied or maybe Reeve did

How do you know she doesn't have a job?

Does she get paid by foreign donors as well?

You insult me "I fully appreciate that Reform supporters aren't at all bothered about facts" but then expect me to get info for you.
If you're that bothered get it yourself and don't post such rude, sarcastic stuff. If you're deaf that's a shame but not my problem.
I'm done here

Presumably you're aware that people don't ever get "offered" the role of a councillor, as these are elected positions. I presume that Reeve must also be aware that it would not have been within his gift to "offer" such a position, so it's an odd turn of phrase.

What she could have been "offered" would be the opportunity to stand as a councillor. Typically, I imagine that such a process would only be initiated after an informal conversation about whether the individual would be interested in this. Reeve asked and she declined. We have no way of knowing what would have happened if she had said that she was interested.

Or is that a normal day out for you?

His lips move.

I'm not asking you to "get info" for me as some sort of public service. I'm asking you to substantiate your own claims, because without evidence, they are worthless.

You really don't seem to understand why facts are important.

If you make a claim, then you should expect that you might be asked to back it up. No point in having a hissy fit when someone asks you to defend your argument. That's how debate and discussion works.

Is she/he paid for with the £5m donation?

It was for security after all, not a reward for Brexit.

OMG, Farage digging himself in so much deeper in an interview with Laura Kuenssberg! Shock

Nigel Farage tells BBC he 'wasn't listening' during foreign donor talks filmed undercover
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c0qxgn7q1vdo

Nigel Farage wears a bright blue suit and red tie.

The Reform leader also told the BBC's Laura Kuenssberg that his family are "begging" him to leave his job.
