Farage to make statement this afternoon …

[AgitaAndroid]

Fingers crossed.

What do you mean. When have they changed elections to suit themselves?

I’d love him to add a few really great common sense vote winning policies too (obviously to the already great ones).

I'd like to know this too.

You know how editing a wiki page works?

His wike page states he was dubbed 'king of the north' by the media

This could be referring to Labour holding elections in 2001 (4 years rather than 5) and 2005 (ditto). But that was perfectly legitimate and in line with Parliamentary rules.

The Fixed Term Parliament Act came in after that, but was repealed in 2022. Remind me, who was in power then?

@Nowisthetimeforicecream what Olympic level contortions have you gone through that you can say Keir Starmer's declared loot (which he should not have taken) is not legitimate, but Nigel Farage accepting £5m within the timeframe before being elected and not declaring it (despite the rules clearly stating he needed to) is perfectly fine?

It really is one rule for me and another for thee with you Reformites.

If Boris Johnson did come back as an MP - would he not face again investigation over the party gate scandal during covid ? Or am I missing something and misremembering which of his several scandals ?
I think it is unlikely he would stand in any event , as he obviously now makes more money elsewhere . Would he only come back if could be leader ? He would not want to just be a humble MP and whether you agree with her politics or not , Kemi Badenoch seems to be popular with her supporters / MPs .

He has declared that he will build one affordable house - possibly a better and more attainable policy than other parties

Followers of the Cult of Nigel tend to be a bit unfashionable. Knowing how to edit a Wiki page is not in the toolkit.

Err the council elections they were happily going to delay because they were polling badly.

Weren’t they going to delay them as some councils are changing their make up in the near future

Do you mean the ones that were being held in areas that were likely to be devolved within the next year or so, which means having an election in them could have just been a huge waste of money, when they weren’t expected to exist in the same form very shortly after.

Those ones?

But that's not true. The councils themselves asked for
permission to defer as they were undergoing reorganisation. It was
to save money

It was well publicised, so I'm surprised you've got the wrong end of the stick

That's not what I asked. You seem to be making an effort to insert it into all your posts. I wondered why.

I’m not sure trying to use king as an insult is all that effective. But crack on building his brand for him. Makes a change from Liebour. So funny! So original!

I'm not.

It's hardly offensive? Why can't I refer to someone is widely known, and refers to themselves. as "the king of the north", as the king of the north.

Exactly. But why bother with facts eh?

Because you do it repeatedly in a way that makes you look a little desperate. Saying something repeatedly doesn't make it funnier or cleverer.

It isn't offensive. It's just another cheap smear. We expect that sort of thing from Farage fans, it's all they've got.

Yes council undertaking unpopular reorganizations. No wonder the councilors didn't want an election they would have lost their seats!!!! These mergers to create super councils are the exact opposite of the devolution that is now the buzz word. To go to the electrate after merging follows the mantra "its better to seek forgiveness than to ask permission"

I get it Labour voters will justify anything to themselves - it was only a month ago we were being told by posters that Starmer was doing a great job but now we seem to have universal agree that be needed to go.

It's his brand!!! You can't smear some with their own brand.

You couldn't even get his wiki info right.

Splendid idea. Keep reminding people that Burnham is so highly regarded, popular and effective that he was dubbed King of the North.

This isn't the win you think it is.

This isn't the win you think it is.

Hopefully, this could prove to be prophetic. Especially in Clacton.

No I know but their views would reflect the electorate to some extent. But anyway it's all moot as none of the established parties are going to stand against him.
