Whooping cough is serious - get yersen to the Royal sharpishThat's all.
Not so sure it is unavoidable. Definitely true that without Farage & Co. there is no way that Labour would have gotten anywhere near a large majority and I am sure that Reform took significant chunks of Tory support but the questions would be how much Labour support also switched to Reform and without Reform what would Turnout have been? I don't think it is a given that all Reform votes were from disgruntled Tory voters or that without them all of those voting for Reform would have reverted to their previous choices.There's something rather hilarious about the unavoidable truth that the lefties had to rely on Farage to get them elected – as well as having to masquerade as tories in many respects.
Reform is very much dependent on the cult of Farage - I could be wrong, but they were polling much, much lower in the campaign with Tice in charge.Not so sure it is unavoidable.

Whilst not arguing against what you say, those sentiments could be applied to a lot more politicos than just Mr FarageAs mentioned earlier, Farage is very also reliant upon lots of verbal rhetoric & actually done very little political work even as an MEP - which is fine if you always want to be an agitator or disruptor, but surely even his most loyal supporters would have to concede there's a point where continuously shouting, blaming others & at times spreading out & out lies, no longer hold water?
With parliamentary privileged it could be an interesting time.He doesn’t take well to being questioned and he’ll face a lot more of that as an MP.
Agreed. And many of those lost their seats last night.Whilst not arguing against what you say, those sentiments could be applied to a lot more politicos than just Mr Farage
Can it be reversed ? I think there's a ground swell to be honest and if they start getting involved locally we might see it becoming the genuine alternative to the Globalist two cheeks of the same arsehole.It makes the only really interesting aspect of the next five years the question of whether Reform blow up, or grow up – the landslide could very easily get reversed.
Sure they were this time, he was the fuel, but, to TopFox's point it's really about what happens next and it would be a mistake to assume as a given that if Farage goes away or shows himself to be unfit as an MP (which he would hardly be alone in being) Reform will revert to being an irrelevance. If they can build on this Farage driven momentum to be something less focussed on him their bigger challenge I feel is likely to be the same as has faced by the tories in particular; speaking with one voice. But that is much easier to do in opposition and with representation than without.Reform is very much dependent on the cult of Farage - I could be wrong, but they were polling much, much lower in the campaign with Tice in charge.
He doesn't fall for the DS press manipulation, don't start thinking I'm a fan but l watched some horrible Sky bitch trying to get him to say certain words so they could paraphrase and misquote him as they do.He doesn’t take well to being questioned and he’ll face a lot more of that as an MP.
Nonsense, actually l think they would be better of with someone else.Reform is very much dependent on the cult of Farage - I could be wrong, but they were polling much, much lower in the campaign with Tice in charge.

Or maybe like Trump, the supporters like their situation (ironically, largely caused by politicians of a different rosette colour but from the same background as Farage) continuously fuelled? Who knows?!
It was just a baton change, as it always is. But, Reform have started something that can go places.Not so sure it is unavoidable. Definitely true that without Farage & Co. there is no way that Labour would have gotten anywhere near a large majority and I am sure that Reform took significant chunks of Tory support but the questions would be how much Labour support also switched to Reform and without Reform what would Turnout have been?

stop the boats is one, and a very very important one.For those who did vote Reform, what were the policies that appealed the most?

l'd strap a bomb to you and throw you at them.How would you stop the boats?

I looked at the Reform policy on "small boats"...
"Illegal migrants who come to the UK will be detained and deported.
And if needed, migrants in small boats will be picked up and taken back to France."
Stop the Boats with our 4 Point Plan
1 - Leave the European Convention on Human Rights.
2 - Zero illegal immigrants to be resettled in the UK.
3 - New Department of Immigration.
4 - Pick up illegal migrants out of boats and take them back to France.
Just wondering...
1 - Do you support the UK leaving the European Convention on Human Rights?
Do you disagree with every part of that convention?
2 - Where are the illegal immigrants/asylum seekers to be housed, while they are being processed?
Where exactly would the failed applications be sent to?
3 - What do we need yet another Department for?
4 - How do you propose we persuade France to accept the return of these people?
l'd strap a bomb to you and throw you at them.
stop being a twat, its easy to stop the boats moron.
