The Reform Thread

One again you have missed my point entirely. No. In fact I suspect you know full well what my point is and you know I am 100% correct but because of your silly bias views and ways, you will never bring yourself to accept I of all people am indeed correct. A very sad way to live. I am genuinely sad for you. 

Boohoo politicians don’t care for me boohoo. Don’t be sad for me, my life is just fine. Unlike you I don’t project my discontent on the govt not delivering personally for me. 
You don’t seem to understand these deep societal issues such as immigration, wealth inequality, aging populations etc are a challenge in all western countries and not simple to fix as Reform would have you believe.

And it is borne out in this forum that you seem unable to process information - brandishing many as looney lefties whereas if you were more alert you’d have a better grasp of what Gloucester, Egg, Badger and others posters views were. Not as convenient for you though and as I said you and SOG are different sides of the same coin. He screams far-right at every one, you scream lefties.

How predictable the king of the air miles thick as fuck would use a laughing emoji that troubles him so much.

How’s the diet pal?

Reform’s King of DOGE is not keen on picking up dog 💩 it seems. And I suspect more personnel blow-ups in the future.

Scary, and not that far from here. He might be the most mature 18 year old ever, and it’s true that he can legally drive, vote, smoke, drink alcohol. But that’s light years from controlling a multi-million pound budget with thousands of staff delivering key public services that we rely on which in some cases are the difference between life and death, and the sheer complexity coming with that. Very difficult to scrutinise effectively for us let alone a lad that age who hasn’t lived yet really.

Absolutely no way at 18 he can have the wisdom to run an organisation that size.

Still this is what you get when you get the moronic ‘well the others haven’t sorted it’ view.

BBC really should invite him on Question Time for people to see how he performs 

[rallyboy]

The talking stops, now we get to see Reform actually running things, showing us how competent they really are.

Should be interesting.

Vote reform, get resignations all over the place. This is why they won't get near government.

Is there a news blackout on negative stories about Reform?

The BBC, who have done more to promote Reform than anyone, was wall-to-wall Farage when they won local seats, but today, nothing - glossing over that Reform have failed at the first hurdle and already lost two out of two.

If it were Labour or Conservative losing seats immediately, it would be headlines.

Tim Davie at it again https://bylinetimes.com/2025/06/09/bbc-news-tim-davie-robbie-gibb-reform-voters-nigel-farage-trust/

Question is when the tabloids realise the Tories are a busted flush with Badenoch and 85% of their voters have gone or are going to Reform unless those papers turn on Farage. Penny hasn’t dropped yet and get the sense the Telegraph might go Reform. Maybe the Sun. Mail is the bigger one though readership-wise, albeit a fraction of what it used to be.

'In statement, McMurdock said his business dealings had been assessed by "appropriately qualified professionals" and "absolute compliance was confirmed".'

It was a free for all as banks and governments dodged together rules to apply, keeping companies going without the requirement of lots of paperwork as proof.

Cue tons of fraudsters dusting off old companies, networks of companies and recently set up ones with delusions on future earnings. 

So, just because he got the money doesn't mean for a second he's not completely at it. Nearly all knew exactly what they were doing. His background in banking makes it certain he did.

Exactly. Just a "teenage indiscretion."

Pay no mind that his recollection bears no resemblance to what he was convicted for.
