To think this is the beginning of the end for Reform

[PandoraSox]

Eight months in and the Reform UK Parliamentary party is disintegrating. Lowe has now had the whip removed.

Unlikely when Reform’s policies all collapse under the slightest critical analysis.

Party of free speech?

Keeping in theme with the slogan Reform will fix it

Oh dear.

I wonder if they will quietly drop the "fix it" slogan?

Local elections next month will be interesting.

"Mr Hartley will still appear on the ballot paper as a Reform UK candidate, as his suspension was announced after candidate lists were published"

Oops.

Name one politician who is a model citizen.

No one is perfect, but defending Savile and implying his victims are lying is very offensive. Reform has a convicted abuser as one of its MPs but this specimen was too toxic even for them.

I’ve worked with dozens. Many of whom are not well known. But plenty of people in politics have morals and ethics and are really decent people, across the parties. I think the fact that we see politicians as a class as disreputable is damaging us. I can totally see why it’s happened. But it distresses me.

There definitely are alternatives to these deeply unpleasant people though.

And Labour too! There's infighting in all the parties.

Lots of back benchers seem decent. Such as Lib Dem Tim Farron who's an exceptional constituency MP for Kendal. I think it's the ones who want cabinet jobs who aren't in it for the right reasons - far too many scandals among the more ambitious politicians.

Tim Farron was the LD leader at one point. 🤷‍♀️

Yes, he was hounded out by the media for his Christian values!!

You say Christian values, most of us say homophobia.
