Reform lost 6 by elections this week 🎉

You are not allowed to call them that on MN. I bet you will be deleted.

Well, if someone reports it that just goes to show that the shoe fits. I'm tired of having to tiptoe around the hurt feelings of the far right.

If that false claim about Harriet Harman with an embedded link to a dodgy anti Labour site is allowed to stand, then the Nazi shouts should not be an issue.

Good point. A thread just devoted to slagging off just one party is pretty boring.

Tell that to the Labour isn’t Working posters (of whom I believe you are one).

There's still the issue of Raynor's son's trust purchasing her share of her overvalued house that hasn't been explained. Far greater breach of trust than any tax fiddling.

Louise Haigh is a convicted criminal.

No you would be wrong on that. As I said, I find threads only slagging off one side very boring.

So why not include the Tories, Lib Dems, Greens, SNP, Plaid Cymru, DUP, Restore?

They all have bad apples after all.

My impression of the "far right" (so thats the National Front or BNP or ADF) is that "hurt feelings" don't really bother them.

Lou Haigh lost a phone. James McMurdock was imprisoned for kicking his girlfriend’s head in. 🤷‍♀️

Go for it. Include them. Im interested. Particularly in the Greens bad behaviour as that is very topical.

Sea lions are landing on the beaches!

A convicted criminal is in a senior position in the Cabinet of the government which makes the law for the rest of us.

I don't want to drag up other parties to excuse Reform's behaviour.

You do but you only focus on Labour with your defences. So much for not just slagging off one party.

Correct. Just so happens that the spotlight is pointed more on Reform at the moment.

Did Louise Haigh spend time in jail?

Why don't you do one then @Pineneedlesincarpet? I'm sure there are plenty of skeletons in the Tory party's cupboard.

I agree, it's boring just focusing on party's problems, because I'm sure they all have them.

That said this is a thread about Reform, their performance in recent elections and - more interestingly - what the ITV programme is going to reveal about them. So it's not hard to see that all the stuff about Labour is definitely trying to obfuscate things a bit.

Because they found a whole load of bad apples in just one year.

Scraping again.

Well you were the one who suggested bringing up the wrong doings of members in other parties. I was just agreeing with you. And now youve changed your mind.

I havent actually brought up bad things about other parties until another PP did which I agree with at is points out the hypocrisy on this thread. During your one sided highly moralistic slagging off of Reform I just tried to encourage us to consider why they were so popular. And to point out that many people speak the same was as Reform members and won't care about any disapproval.

If a barrel full of rotten apples occur, and I used to help out in my friend's parents orchard, then the barrel goes as well.

Restore is not racist. But it does wish to deport the tens of thousands of dangerous men and their families, many of whom have entered the UK illegally, many sent by the Iranian regime, who follow an extremist form of religion that is simply not compatible with the tolerant Western way of life.

Judging by what is currently happening in France, where school protests have been seized upon as an opportunity to create trouble (pretty much urban street warfare if you look at the live footage) by left-wing fringe groups, and groups of immigrant or 2nd generation men from this religion, and the pro-Palestine crowd, it makes perfect sense to do this if we are not to endure the same sort of mass-violence here in the UK over the next few years.

So far as I am aware, criticism of a religion is not racist, since race and religion are two very different things.

It would be nice to get back to a trusting society again here in the UK, where children don't get groomed and raped by gangs of such men. And where people can attend an Xmas market with their families without having fear of some extremist from this religion trying to drive a car or truck into them at high speed. I assume you would agree?

Not at all. I would really rather like high standards of honesty and integrity in our politicians. Something that has been sorely lacking on all sides. I have never committed a crime or embezzled anyone or committed fraud or breach of trust and I don't see why we allow and promote people who do to the highest office.

I think a conviction should rule you out for being an MP. Like it does for a lot of other professions.

Either you didn't read the post properly or you are deliberately trying to twist the facts.

I said I hadn't pointed my finger at any other political party, which is what you had accused me of.

This thread is about Reform losing by elections but you are insisting on trying to derail it to suit your own agenda. Start your own thread if you want to discuss other matters.

But the PP is making a good point. Why have a thread solely devoted to slagging off one party and stick your head in the sand about all the others. Surely you want balance? Theres no use just focusing on one party and not allowing comment about all the other. Isn't the hope that all politicians be held to the same high standard.
