Farage has announced that he'll be making an announcement...

[Westfacing]

... an 'emergency' announcement, no less.

Presumably to announce he's finally plucked up courage to put his money were his big mouth is and stand for Parliament, after bottling it!

Exactly.

The torys and labour will get the blame for dragging their heels and wimping out of a 'true' brexit.

Farage will come charging in on a white horse.

Thsi could be pretty interesting/bad depending on your stance.

So they voted for something that made their lives worse but now want more of it?

You seem to be implying that Reform/NF is all about immigration and their supporters are anti migration.

There is a reason NF has gone for Clacton, it has a older population and has the least number of graduates anywhere in England.

Reform working class??? FFS hear yourself, people like Tice and Farage despise people who are so called WC, they are just a vehicle to gain power.

Can you tell me why he is racist? Acknowledging that we have a migrant issue is not racist.
Barbara from the shires doesn’t want more houses built in the countryside to accommodate an ever growing population.
Sally the single mother who has no benefit entitlement to feed her third child doesn’t really give a crap that an immigrant’s food is of poor quality.
But when people try and say it they are dismissed as NIMBY/Racist/Bigot.
Let them speak without fear of being labelled a moron.
Their worries are as valid as anyone’s. Farage is picking up the gauntlet for them.

Edit for major typos

How would Farage deal with foreign students HK and Ukraine refugees? the bulk of migrants coming to the UK, would he ban them and if so, how would he fund Uni's ?

Would he ban foreign nurses and care workers? if so, who would look after Barbara as she starts to need care at home and Sally's elderly father who has just had a stroke?

He is racist because he characterises all Muslim young men as anti British, uses Nazi style posters.... what would you call that?

‘FFS hear yourself’? I don’t feel there was any need for that remark.
Can you show any evidence of Farage/Tice despising working class voters more than Starmer or Sunak?

A bit of a tangent, but one of the “interesting” things about Reform.

Every other political party in the UK is structured as an unincorporated association. They’re not-for-profit and democratic - members have a say (to varying degrees) over who the leader this and the general direction of the party.

Reform, on the other hand, is a private company that is owned and controlled by its shareholders. Farage, of course, is the controlling shareholder so he essentially has full control and will continue to do so unless he sells his shares.

They aren’t so much a political party as an alter-ego and business venture of Nigel Farage.

This is an incredibly prescient post. Thank you @bombastix

Just seen that the woman who threw milkshake at him earlier has now been identified. She's the girlfriend of his press officer. Totally staged.

It seemed odd in the pic of it being thrown that Tice was in the background with a big smile.

I knew it was staged as soon as I saw it

As fun as that would have been, it doesn't appear to be true

Ukraine is not in their literature, as far as I’ve read.
Saying all Muslim men are anti British is not something I have heard him say.
Im sure Barbara’s house will pay for her care. Will probably be sold to a wealthy property developer who will knock it down and build 10 houses.
Sally will probably be helping to care for grandad as long as she can. I know many families that do rather than put them in care homes. Although if there were more support and flexible working she could get a job in the care home herself.
Also, university is still not option for everyone so I don’t think they will care about that either.

Well, you said Reform has its roots in the working class, what is WC about Farage or Tice?
What policies do they have that will help young people? education? the NHS?

This is the lowest of the low, à la Farage. All staged to make him look like a martyr for his admirers and followers.

I mean, how much lower can anyone get?

Well, perhaps they should?

Barbara can have all the money in the world but with no staff???

Thought Sally was a single parent? how will she look after her dad and balance care duties?

You ever looked after a stroke patient? i have, my mum, its fucking hard, no infact its almost impossible.

Uni might not be an option for all but FE is, pretty essential if you want to get on.

Have you not cared for an elderly relative at home? It’s quite doable even with kids in tow.
FE is not always available and although pretty essential to get on, some can’t or don’t do it.
There are many 16-18 year olds who haven’t completed FE

Have you seen the calibre of his entourage? Seems he's quite partial to felons.

Here’s a couple of pictures for the thread.

first is NF with obvs a close friend lol

And here is the milkshake thrower.

Is it just me or do they almost look like the same woman?

Where are you reading that? All I can find is that she's an angry Clacton resident.

I really can't see Farage being so stupid to set up a stunt where a friend of his throws milkshake in his face.

Agree. Would love it to be true but just seems like wild Twitter speculation.

So it must just be an uncanny coincidence, and those people behind the milkshake thrower with their phones ready on portrait mode to capture the precise moment with smiles on their faces, and Richard Lice smiling in the background just a coincidence. I see.

Maybe they already had their phones out to take photos of Farage before the drink was thrown 🤷‍♀️

Well maybe I’m wrong I know, but the resemblance is uncanny.

Can’t believe it’s the same person. She’s been arrested for assault and named as Victoria Thomas Bowen , an Only Fans model. Not sure of the name of the press officers girlfriend. Maybe she did it for publicity for her OF account?
