Welcome to 2026 for political discussion, general chat and taxes in kind.

Farage has said: "I’ll have a Labour defection next week and that’ll change the script".😮

Never underestimate the amount of information that can be harvested from a remote printer.

(Of course it is possible to set up print systems so that a person needs to enter a PIN at the printer before it prints. However let's not let 25 year old tech spoil the story).

I take it everyone on this thread knows about the "leave a document near the printer" way of shitstirring in a company ?

Some of the blue labour lot fit in well.

This is good news.

Ha ha my day just keeps getting better!

Jenrick is a bloody fraudster...

Some idiot praising Badenoch for sacking him... wft? she had no choice!

I can imagine furious deleted social media posts and WhatsApp messages. Good riddance.

Farage in mini 🍊 mode. It's all about him, odious man.

Ooh...

Yeah, much more to this than has been released.

But this version of the story is very amusing.

Absolutely. And not necessarily an awful result for Labour. The endless Blue Lab op eds in the Times are really tedious. If you want to copy Reform move there.
There are plenty of voters that wont touch them with a bargepole.

I hope everyone stays safe.

So whip withdrawn, be hilarious if Farage refuses him....

Whoever coined ‘Reformatories’ is a genius. Reform are Tories or re- Former Tories. I’ll be using that.

will be interesting in a year or 2 to see these ex ambitious Tories start infighting in Reform for top position and look to oust Nige.

Jenrick was on the Tory leadership away day last week taking copious notes. All very Traitor-y.
I'm sure Farage will find a way to bring him in. Huge battle of the egos though.
Or I suppose he could join Lowe.

Why thank you!

Lead poster on the Btexit thread didn't like it much though.

What ‘script’ is that then? And how would it change? He sounds like a YouTube conspiracy theorist.

They can’t, what with it being a company he owns. Yes, I know in theory there’s been a bit of distance put between the two things, but we all know it’s a bit of a fiction.

I've got a funny feeling that Tyce may well leave Reform. It's Panto season after all.

That won't stop them trying. I think we underestimate the egos involved (in all parties).

Good point

Keir Starmer says it shows Kemi Badenoch's weakness that she only sacks Robert Jenrick when he's about to defect to Reform

"Jenrick has been making toxic comments to try to divide our country for months and months and months"

Jenric behaviour shouldn’t have come as a surprise to Badenoch.

He moved against May, Johnson & Sunak.
Don’t suppose he had time to stick the boot in to Truss.

Honest Bob should have been sacked a long time ago.

Can you imagine the chaos when the likes of Jenrick, Gullis, Zahawi et al all start fighting for jobs & positions! Like rats in a sack!
Not a political principle amongst them!

Damm - I was in a meeting so I missed all the Jenrick news. Catching up now. I would agree that Badenoch has done a good job sacking him but why didn't she sack him earlier when he was spouting his racist nonsense.

Lib Dems have just posted this. "Tonight's turret meeting will be pretty awkward"
😂

Five months Farage called Jenrick a fraud.
what’s changed?
