To think Farage surely has to go

[OneKookyShark]

So Farage has some dodgy private company set up to avoid paying tax. Is he being pressured to resign as head of Reform? Of course not. Because he’s an entitled privileged man.

The double standards are incredible really. Here’s the story https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/sep/05/nigel-farage-uses-private-company-to-pay-less-tax-on-gb-news-earnings

While I think Rayner had to resign, why are the same standards not being applied?

Yes they are on here

And you only know who you vote for

I didn't realise the onus was on me to illustrate the wonders of Reform. I'm pointing out that a radical change is needed and a massive voter base knows Reform will at least bring the feel good factor to the country.

They are on here but are just too scared to share their voting intention. The question us, why is that?

By the way, I think what's changed since last year is the massive recent influx of support from certain parts of the US political landscape. Yes I know Musk says he's moved on to Lowe and TR but he did pledge $100million to Reform. He doesn't even have to give the money directly to the party, support can take many forms. It's not a coincidence that Vance came on 'holiday' to the UK. Trump has been here to golf and soon on a state visit. We are in their line of sight and they clearly want to make us fall into the cult.

I don’t think your poll counts as much as voting intention showing they’d get in atm. It’s interesting you feel it might.

Another vague response.

The thing is, Brexit was a 'simple' choice and with no thought for complexities, we are all doomed to even shittier economic circumstances except of course, for those raking it in!

It won’t feel good to the 70% of people who currently tell the polls they won’t vote for them.

Gee…who does this remind me of? 🧐 Someone who only wants to enrich their own personal wealth, likes campaign rallies, and CBA to deal with actual governing. Good thing we don’t have Executive Orders in the UK.

'Feel good'?
You know most of the MAGA base moved on from 'feel good' pretty damn quick. There's not much 'feel good' going on Stateside. Won't be different here.

MNers still banging on about Reform's workable policies. When are they going to get it that the populism Reform brings IS the policy that matters.

I am afraid the 'feel good factor' is not the vibe I get from Reform so I'm out!

In other words, lots of hot air and no substance?

Does a government not need any economic policies then, we just vote for Reform as they are Populists and hope and pray for the best?

You might want to check your inbox more frequently. Just three days ago your dear deputy leader stated that the contract with you is only a point in time document and no longer relevant, when asked to confirm what reforms policies were (he wouldn't or couldn't btw).

I guess they don't want to justify why they may vote Reform.

Some on here have been open about supporting Reform

It really does no good demonising voters and telling them they are wrong even if you feel strongly about Reform.

If was told I was wrong I would switch off before being told why as most people would

Bye 👋

Plus it’s just to castigate and deride, I don’t blame anyone for not being hounded into answering.

Why not be proud of voting for Reform, why is it so embarrassing - rhetorical by the way.

It's not a vague response, it's just not the answer you want to hear. It's odd that you make such assumptions about Reform voters, without actually knowing any.

Every time Labour make another fuck up, Reform grow stronger. They don't need policies 4 years out from an election, none of the opposition parties have yet written their manifestos.

@Dangermoos - you are probably not wrong; but don’t you agree that that is a bit of dangerous position. The responsibility of government is very wide, and dealing with immigration is only a part of it. Do you actually think that an inexperienced lot like the Reform group would be able to look after the UK. Would you be happy for a group of those people who are making a real mess in the councils to be looking after you in your old age? or for your children in schools? Saying we need something different but not specifying what the policies are is crazy! Would you just move house to “somewhere different” without researching further if you didn’t know the area?

I thought Farage said to be ready two years early on Friday, what are we supposed to be voting for?

you’re right they do grow stronger- but not because anyone really understands what govt under farage and lee anderson and nadine dorries would be like!! Can you imagine?!?

You sound more interested as the thread goes on, I’m sure there’ll be more announcements.

and also- what are they standing for themselves if they don’t know their policies? Where is their ideology, their vision and their morals? what is there for us to trust there? The best indicator of someone’s future behaviour is their past behaviour- it’s not great for Farage- he runs away when the going gets tough. I know I’m not going to persuade you, but honestly I couldn’t give that man houseroom.

I appreciate your civil tone of post. Unfortunately, many MNers aren't also interested in Reform's policies; they only seek derision. You only need look at the many new roundabouts and flagpoles, to show you how the tide is turning. The starting point, for us, is a government that puts its people first.
