[Politics] Why wasn't Reform represented at the Cenotaph?

This isn't Lee Anderson (Nigel's probably still celebrating at Trump's Florida resort 🥺).
Bit of an insult to the millions who voted for them (I'm not one of them BTW). They were the THIRD highest in terms of votes cast FFS, so I quite resented Sir Ed Davey's appearance today (even though he's a Mansfield lad).

GB News has a headline about Farage attending (not just anyone but Farage), so presumably either he was there or they’re lying (not hedging bets either way there)

Bit of an insult to the fallen to have a guy there who thinks the wrong side won.
No idea why Reform didn't send an MP, or whether and why they weren't invited (and not really bothered) - but I can't imagine the circumstances in which they'd send someone who failed to get elected and isn't an MP to represent them anyway.

Nigel Farage and Carla Denyer were among the other politicians watching on but not taking part. Farage was on a balcony watching the events

Farage is an MP. He won the Clacton seat.

Edit: He’s also the leader of Reform.

nowhere near Burgess Hill

It was claimed Farage sang “gas ‘em all” and also had links to the NF.
But you seriously think that he would rather the Nazi's won the war?. He might be fascist, racist or whatever but saying that he supported the Nazi's is something very different.

Farage more likely to appear at the US equivalent, toadying up to Trump.
