Perhaps garage would like to start by surrendering his MEP pension. It's not like he did anything to earn it.

Disabled people, people on low incomes and/ or benefits, public sector workers and pensioners/early retirees with public sector pensions, young people on minimum wage.

Farage is going to shrink his pool of potential voters. Soon there will be only our friends on a certain thread who will be left 😉😼🙈

So that is the Depress and the Telemail casting aspertions on Farage-onomics. Is the right wing media turning against him?

Wow quite a put down!

Perhaps the next GE will be a more traditional affair, Lab vs Tory with the LibDem's in a supporting role.

If Labour can a handle on x channel migration & migration in general, then Reform have nothing to offer.

One word: Brexit.

What thread is that @PandoraSocks ? I’m interested to read a thread where your friends all support Reform! I’d like to know why, for a start. Tell me?

Wow. I never expected to see that. 😮

Blessed are the meek.

Hello Rex, welcome! TAATs get deleted, so best not to go down that road.

Happy to have a general discussion about why people continue to support Reform, though.

Also, it seems Farages boss is facing a constellation of issues arising from his special military operation with more and more people that were shipped int Crimea choosing (presumably while they can) to leave.

oh id like to see the thread where everyone supports reform, I can’t find it! Key words from the thread title would be ok. Ta

According to Sky News, there have been no boat arrivals for the last 11 days and the agreement with France has returned 75 asylum seekers in exchange for 51.

Overall immigration is coming down fast as well but that might not be a good thing.

Maybe Farage is running a sort of political version of "The Producers" ? He has sourced a lot of money (we aren't quite sure where from, but we can all have a very good guess where it's gone) with the promise of not being a naughty boy, but the Messiah.

Only he would lose it all if he won, so now he has to do his best to try to lose without it being too obvious ? (Especially if any Russian speaking gentlemen decide they have been had).

That’s because it’s been biblical rain on the south coast and the channel for the last 2 weeks. Hampers progress somewhat.

Nice try, no cigar.

Saves lives as well.

Now that is interesting. I had to double-check the name of the newspaper there for a minute.

Yes, I had to double check the newspaper!

The monitoring of these threads is hilarious.

I think you may be on to something.

Yes. Half-way through I scrolled back to check!

Article in The Guardian today about Tory Associations at universities having to merge with or include Reform. The Guardian did unearth 5 or 6 Reform 'leaders' from a handful of ( posh Northern) unis. All male, to no one's great surprise. I can see that ambitious young, right leaning males might think being a young Reformite more expedient for their future ambitions.

Young Tories, eh ? Not just fed up. They are revolting.

Maybe a bit less avocado toast and frappuccinos and a bit more hard work, Kemi.

I would have suggested getting a second higher paying job, but we know you've all tried that.

(On a serious note if they can't run their own party, why should they be allowed to run my country ?)

They always were, though.
