Reform Leader

I've just seen on news that the Reform leader can't do computers and put in hisxexpenses months late. Do people really want someone like that as PM. Oh god give me strength.

He’s also on Russia’s payroll and exists to benefit oligarchs, not ordinary people. Currently in Davos, not working for his constituents in Clacton.

BalladOfBarryAndFreda · 21/01/2026 13:29

His lack of techspertise would rank low on the list of reasons why I don't want him anywhere near the post of PM.

With the amount of money he makes from outside sources youd think he could afford to hire an admin assistant.

Ablondiebutagoody · 21/01/2026 13:38

Still preferable to Starmer. Saw him on PMQs today, tying himself in knots over the Chagos deal *. The guy is a fucking buffoon.

  • If Greenlanders should determine the future of Greenland, why is he shafting the Chagosians?

In April 2022, Farage appeared in a video titled “New Money, New Rules” from Southbank Research, offering “the truth about c-word currencies”, in which he said he had bought c-word currencies.

He said: “Five years ago, c-word currencies were pure speculation. Yet now, making c-word a part of your plans just makes sense, doesn’t it? I have. A short while ago, I took a small amount of my money, I opened an account, I invested in c-. It wasn’t difficult, but I’m glad I did it and I’m not alone.”

But he doesn't do computers?

I tell you what, why not have a Google and read about why the Chagos Islands were handed back to Mauritius - and why the Americans (including Trump) agreed with that.

Oh, and also, that it was the Conservative Party that set the whole thing in train,

Educate yourself for goodness sake.

Absolute bullshit. You're embarrassing yourself. Starmer would be in Davos if he wasn't worried about having to talk to Trump.

As far as I'm concerned, there's just too much dodginess going on behind the scenes with this one. Just feel we'd all be massively stitched up.

Could you please provide some links to this so we can ascertain for ourselves?

Well i suppose if he's in davos, that shouldnt be too difficult to ascertain.

Don't worry were already been stitched up. The country voted for change - they didn't realise that meant u turning on all major policies every few months - the only thing Starmer seems to be able to change his is mind.

PandoraSocks · 21/01/2026 14:06

Some people can't discuss Farage without But Starmering.

GlobalTravellerbutespeciallyBognor · 21/01/2026 14:09

‘Preferable to Starmer’ - God, that’s a low bar.

Why can’t politicians see that there are MILLIONS of voters sitting waiting, desperate to put their cross for a normal, decent, honest leader who has vision, pays whatever personal tax to HMRC is due, and who wants Britain to prosper so we can afford to invest in new jobs and look after people who deserve it.

Is it really so hard to find a few such people out of 62 million?

Why would we want a prime minister who despises the tax paying electorate?
Oh.....hang on

ExtraOnions · 21/01/2026 14:15

Imagine if it was Dianne Abbot who had done this, or any other Labour MP.. the right wing press would be calling for resignation. It’s Farage though self-proclaimed “man of the people”, it’s a funny joke that he can’t manage computers, not a gross breach of ministerial code

Because Starmer is soooooo bad. Most people can't talk about Farage without making shit up like him being on the Russian payroll.
