The one thing that Farage and the Tories need to be worried about is when Starmer is PM. He’s already said he’s going after Covid/PPE corruption and has indirectly mentioned questions about funding for Brexit and other groups. Can’t remember who it was but that wonderful expression ‘follow the money’ was mentioned.
Starmer doesn’t strike me as the sort of person who you want to cross. It’s going to be very interesting as they’ll be a lot of very nervous politicians and ex politicians post GE.

And it begins (on R5 now)....
Farage is going to LEAD a centre right coalition! Brace yourselves....

Cost of living crisis due to a 15% surcharge on energy bills to subsidise green energy.
Right, Nige, mate
Population explosion due to immigration is why rents have gone up.
Nothing to do with Brexit.

Ben Habib, Remain candidate who said 'let them drown' . . . . "Can't be racist because he's from Pakistan. Let's get that straight".
f***'s sake.

Apparently Starmer took off his poppy half way through a day "because he was addressing a Muslim audience".
Any fact checkers available today?

I'd want to ask him to list all the negative things he can about Putin.
Surely that has to be BS
Hopefully this will be fact checked.
It seems that Farage has decided to present himself in the most left wing and liberal way possible today. If he can manage to sound reasonable for an hour, job done.
I do wish this true
I have now checked online. It is in GBnews, the Mail and the Express and some other web sites. However it is also described as Bullshit:
Thunder Bolt
Silly old bat
It was reported in the Mail, Express, Telegraph & on GBnews
No other news outlet saw fit to mention it, only photographs of a black jacket, with and without a poppy.
I suspect it was the same people who said a work meeting in Durham was a party.

Never cross a successful barrister, certainly not one who headed the CPS and who has had a lot of shit thrown his way. The bbc is also going to have a very interesting time, as quite frankly as it’s been in the governments pocked for years.

Right wing populism in a nut shell. When you have a government that instead of governing for the good of the country, cos that would mean you know actually writing and delivering meaningful policies, instead stoking phony culture wars and fear of all things not Ingerlish, thus emboldening those who hold the same views but perhaps were in the past reluctant to air them so publically..the rise of Reform and similar was almost inevitable

Reform are at the bottom of the values chain. Their only redeeming feature is the splitting of the right vote in a FPTP electoral system.
And nowt to do with deregulation of the housing market, virtual abolition of social housing, and refusal to reintroduce rent controls!
I bet Farage blames the cold wet Spring and June on immigrants too.
His answer to any problem - blame the forrinners. Yet so many people fall for it, time and time again.

It's worth potential Reform voters reminding themselves that they cannot vote of Farage unless they live in Clacton and looking to see who they would be voting for in their consituencies. They may find that, like in my consituency, they'd be trying to get the Tories out by voting for a candidate who, for some years and until quite recently, was a conservative councillor.
In other words:

Id quite like Farage to do a one on one with SKS/Rishi
