Well well well

I think in the future when the web is unravelled and exposed we will be shocked to find out who was behind a lot of incidents. We know Russia is meddling in the West, and I won't be even slightly shocked to find out if they're in bed with Reform and the far right in the US and the Americas orchestrating tragedies.

I agree, but it’s so frustrating to me how many of us can see what is happening here and others will vote for it which will completely screw the country that we all have to live in, and not just us!

It’s freaking me out a bit to be honest how they keep doing this sinister shit unchecked and getting away with it. It’s like watching a car crashing in slow motion but being unable to stop it and nobody with any power seems willing to either.

Yes, I agree. It's clear that bad actors, mainly Russia, are interfering in our democracy and nothing is done other than security agencies popping up intermittently mentioning it. Where's the widespread denouncement of the propaganda? Where are the arrests of the traitors? Why is no one in power spelling out exactly what's going on to the public? The cold war never ended for Russia. We really need to get back on a war footing and start calling out interference and foreign agents wherever they appear.

Also, my initial post you replied to should have said Europe and the Americas.

The usual excuses. Always small amounts compared to large amounts, when the fundamental principle is dishonesty. Always trivial when it applies to Labour but substantial, otherwise.

Angela Raynor referred herself to get clarification re her very complex tax affairs as she was getting conflicting advice. She put her house in trust for her son as he is severely disabled and needs a forever home. He was born very prematurely and is blind. His parents share his care so Angela spends half of each week caring for him.

They’re not getting away with it any more. The mainstream media have turned against them. There are more revelations in this morning’s Times and it’s not giving up. There’s a limit to how many more times Jenrick will be able to go out to try and defend the indefensible.

The government of the day are being scrutinised, including a convicted fraudster and a tax shy housing minister being given cabinet roles. There's also a small thing like a new PM in town. Are you being disingenuous?

The convicted fraudster and tax shy housing minister are old stories. Farage's £5m bung was being investigated before Burnham took over. One Reform chap is already in jail for corruption. I suspect more may follow.

Don't you just love the stereotyping of people who complain about stereotyping. Labour and their hypocrites. Keep those own goals coming.

To be honest I think a second police investigation into the same corrupt family donating to reform is the own goal here.

Given these lot have spent years saying they’re not a part of the establishment, they’re different, they don’t do things like that, they’re starting to look very corrupt and just like the establishment they denounce. This isn’t even the first time Tice has done something like this. Remember his tax affairs? The net is closing in on reform.

Defending endless allegations of real corruption is the own goal. Will they still be defending them once they're locked up?

And then there is the fact that the Cottrell "donors" couldn't be more establishment if they tried!

Come on then, give us a real example. Angela Raynor has been exonerated by HMRC. And the Louise Haigh story really is a non story, she was mugged and declared her phone stolen, but then found said phone weeks later and switched it on. She should have immediately informed the police, she didn't, which isn't great. However, this happened over a decade ago. It's very VERY small fry in comparison to the crime and corruption Reform are tangled up in.

And neither of those examples are corruption. It’s becoming apparent that Reform supporters don’t even understand what the word means.

There’s always room for Restore to take up that empty space though. I mean, I know he’s more extreme but once the competition from Reform is gone and Musk becomes desperate for him to get elected, Lowe could easily water down his brand a bit to become slightly more palatable while still hating on minorities and banging on about grooming gangs and Islamists.

People will soon forget about his undesirable qualities while angry, fearful and desperate, just like they do with Farage now.

And then they’ll do the same thing, and the cycle will repeat itself.

There’s plenty of corruption in the Labour Party. You conveniently overlook that though, don’t you!

Two concrete evidenced examples please.

BIossomtoes · 26/07/2026 08:50

Lowe hasn’t got the charisma to replace Farage.

Marmalademorning · 26/07/2026 02:26

There’s plenty of corruption in other parties, but the focus is on Reform because you are terrified of them winning the next election.

A: what specifically?
B: is that your defence? Its ok to be corrupt because ive been told they all do it.

Lowe will never manage what Farage has. Like or loathe him Farage is able to win people over in big numbers.

Don’t be so lazy and go look it up yourself.

And yes, my parents did tell me that. But it still doesn’t change the fact that there are certain posters on this thread who are desperately trying to paint Reform in a certain light, whilst conveniently overlooking all the corruption and scandal that’s rocked the Labour Party for decades. And I say that as someone who votes Conservative by the way.

Anyway, it doesn’t change the fact that Reform are currently leading in the polls by miles and Labour’s popularity has plummeted.

BTW, how’s that promise of not increasing tax on working people doing?! The one they made over and over during their election campaign? “All our plans are fully costed”.
Yeah, sure they were! 🐂💩
