Farage was busy in a different country and is now praising the UAE for their approach to 'law and order' He says that we can learn from them Hmm

Tice praises Dubai - his awful girlfriend loves it there and lives there full time I think - so they’re back on one page - keep thinking Tice might have left Reform and U.K. but neither sadly seem to be true.
I mean actually, as they say to us, they could go live there if they like it so much.
I’m not sure bringing other countries’ ways to the U.K. is really what Reform say they stand for so will this please supporters?

To be fair, they need absolute bellends to vote for them, so that's SYLs tribe

Thought SYL was more of an Advance guy? I think Farage shows his roots most with SYL - he wouldn’t wipe his boots on him (nor most other people including his followers, but no one sees this)
Maybe, if they have potential voters who are more reasonable then this SYL support may put some off.

Shock

The National Rebirth Party had their inaugural meeting in Leicester last week.

Take a closer look.

Struggle to believe this can even be a thing - who thinks of such stuff - atrocious- think Mosley wannabe was on the Tenconi’s March here- unless there’s more of them around - so repulsive 🤢

I heard James O’Brien discussing Kemi has told her own MPs if they don’t want to out reform reform they should leave (paraphrasing) and obviously those who want to go to Reform as well. He was doing a phone in re homeless normal Tories.
I’m not totally sure what this is about - as in what Kemi has said as I only heard a few minutes - does anyone here know?

So she wants her centrists to piss off as well as her right w(h)ingers? 😵‍💫

That’ll be our MP looking for pastures new then. He’s an old school one nationer. Mind you, he’s probably in hot water for standing up with Al Carns when Trump insulted our armed forces last week.

Mandelson's partner took £10,000 from Epstein to pay for his osteopath course in 2009 according to new Epstein files released by DoJ

Apparently Tommy ten names has endorsed Matt Goodwin.

Toxic endorsement.

Every time he looks into the mirror he's going to bring onto the island as the luxury item he'll sing

"Only you can make this world seem right."

He's going to struggle rescuing anything from the waves.

Let's not even think about the book.

placemats · 30/01/2026 22:12

I reckon his book of choice will be The Canterbury Tales.

When will men realise that when your perfectly capable and non panicky wife has had an accident that probably means her car is a w/o mansplaining the claims process and logistics will not get a good reaction.

PickAChew · 31/01/2026 09:12

Oh dear. I take it there's a lot of 🙄 in the @countrygirl99 household at the moment?

LlttledrummergirI · 31/01/2026 09:23

Hope you're OK @countrygirl99 Flowers

BIossomtoes · 31/01/2026 09:29

Nothing like taking a shit situation and making it worse @countrygirl99. Are you OK? I hope you’re not hurt.

pointythings · 31/01/2026 09:34

I hope you're OK, @countrygirl99 , and I trust you were suitably firm in your reaction?

So the News Quiz gave me an answer - Kemi said her Tory party doesn’t want centrists - not sure how uncentrist she wants them though.

MsJinks · 31/01/2026 10:52

Hope you’re ok @countrygirl99- men are often the last thing needed unfortunately- IME and I know NAMALT - look after yourself.
