So Farage has 'cancelled' himself?Running away again
Nigel Farage to boycott BBC over ‘biased’ Question Time audience
Reform also complains to Electoral Commission and Essex police about Channel 4 undercover investigation of partywww.theguardian.com
As always, those who accuse their critics of being 'snowflakes' are the most 'entitled', thin-skinned, and easily offended of all. They really need to develop some resilience!

Big rally in Nuremb. Sorry Birmingham today
Make Britain Great Again.
The Slimy lying scumbag has really learned a lot from a certain orange slimy lying scumbag
And the masses lap it up!
Reform UK said it had sold four and a half thousand tickets for today’s event and hundreds more paid on the door. Although they all had to walk past a small protest, most ignored the chanting.
This was a slickly staged event in a venue more used to hosting pop and rock stars than politicians, but nonetheless the Reform faithful were treated to a selection of the party’s greatest hits on subjects like immigration, net zero, the NHS and the culture wars.
There were loud boos for the other party leaders and the mainstream media, especially Channel 4 and the BBC. Cheers every time anyone used the phrase “common sense”.
The most rapturous applause was for the headline act. The thousands who’d paid to come wanted to hear from the party leader Nigel Farage. As the lights dimmed, thousands of camera phones were switched to record, and fireworks lit up the stage. He shrugged off the last week’s difficulties, once again blaming them on establishment forces.
With less than a week to go until polling, the purpose of today’s event was to keep the campaign’s momentum going. At the rally, the party faithful were certainly exhilarated, and it will hope the cheers at the NEC translate into votes on Thursday.
Farage goes on to criticise media coverage of his campaign, including BBC News.
Last night, he said he would “boycott” appearing on the BBC after claiming the audience for his Question Time appearance was "rigged", which the BBC refuted.
Farage tells the hall he will campaign for the abolition of the BBC licence fee with "added vigour" after the election.
He then describes a recent Channel 4 documentary – which uncovered people on Farage's campaign making racist and other offensive remarks – as a "put up job" and "gross".
Farage has repeatedly claimed one of those filmed, Andrew Parker, was an actor. Channel 4 has categorically denied anyone was paid as part of the documentary.
Turning to Reform UK candidates who have been caught making inappropriate comments, Farage says: “Have we had a few bad apples?
"We have - but to my knowledge, no one involved in an organised betting ring is standing for us.”
He says those candidates are “gone” and “we’ll never have them back”.

I should coco
He’s just a male version of ‘Karen’.
if he gets elected he’s going to have a terrible time as every journalist is going to start digging, looking for any shit they can find. Putin anyone?. Ironically as a private individual and with media backing and government scared to piss him off he was safe but the gloves will come off on the 5th.
he’s on a lose-lose situation as if he wins the dogs will circle and if he loses he’ll be ultimate loser.

Chatting politics earlier today and potential for PR to replace FPTP. What was an interesting argument was that Refrom having 15% of MPs would have less of an influence on UK policy than they currently do with zero MPs. Reason being that the Tory party have continually shifted to the right to try and placate a relatively small faction. Give them their 100 or so MPs, but that’ll easily be offset by the additional LibDems and Green MPs.

Very true, just look at the influence UKIP has an Tories. Unless in coalition the LD have little influence with 20, 30, 40 or MP's
I don't want his (Farage's) 15% of MPs (70 MPs
) to be 'offset' by more useless wanky liberals and greens.I want the Tories out, a majority labour government, and a tory reset (hopefully to 'sensible').
PR can f*** off.

So you’re happy with the current parliament having had a party with a large majority with only 44% of the vote, and the next governing party having a huge majority with low 40s? That’s shit democracy.I don't want his 15% of MPs (70 MPs
I wan the Tories out, a majority labour government, and a tory reset (hopefully to 'sensible').
PR can f*** off.

that works until the far right becomes large enough and softens enough that a center-right party goes into coalition with them. see Italy.

Harry doesn't want to see any nuance or long term responsibility in politics or Governments, he wants big majorities, whether red or blue, and certainly no reflection of what the nation actually votes being represented in parliament. Each victorious side blaming and reversing everything the last lot did everytime the votes change by a couple of percent is far better.
So I'm guessing the last decade and the next will see him ecstatic. Isn't that right H

I would respectfully suggest that one thing the last 50 years of British politics has shown us, is that if the far right party in Britain returns enough seats to make them attractive to a centre-right party, the centre-right party will have bugger all seats left to go into any sort of coalition.
It's because the centre-right party have been chasing the far-right party's voters since Cameron had his 'good idea' thats why we're where we are at this election

I get your dislike of PR, but it isn't the only alternative to FPTP. I find you to be quite logical and reasoned in most things, but I just don't get your love for FPTP.I don't want his 15% of MPs (70 MPs

Sounds like a fair representation, no? Just because we don’t like a particular party - and believe you me that I hate Farage and think all Reform voters are bunglecunts - it doesn’t mean that a system that gives them fair representation is wrong. Who are we to individually decide that certain parties are wrong?

A Reform UK election candidate has disowned the party and is instead backing the local Conservative candidate.
Liam Booth-Isherwood, who is standing in Erewash, said there was a “significant moral issue” in parts of the party following what he called “reports of widespread racism and sexism”.

A human being failed Quality Control. Not, we don't want a 'disruptive influence', but a failed human being. When people show you what they are, believe them.
For those who don't know, Isabel Oakeshott is the partner of Richard Tice, part owner of Reform.
