Do you not think he was "preaching to the converted" ?

I am sure he was, but trying to convert others too.

It turns out that Ratcliffe had met with Farage just before his speech about colonisation. Funny that.

That's a truly remarkable depth of research about two men that you despise!

You really are a weirdo.

17,000,000,000 seems to be an incredibly exact figure. What are the chances of that?

Are you suggesting he did not buy one single item in 2025 in the UK, not even a sandwich at a service station?

Psssst.... Service station sandwiches are VAT exempt (assuming they aren't heated up nor eaten at a table onsite) ...Quick... Change your example before anyone notices...

I doubt he's eating them in the car like a peasant

Nothing wrong with the example!

Plus, to get to the service station he'd need to buy fuel

Not that nic will be bothered…

FACT CHECK: Nigel Farage’s victory lap 🤔

Farage is celebrating after Labour backed down from plans to postpone local elections, framing it as a Reform victory and proof that only they “fight for democracy.” 

Let’s check the tape. 👀

“Keir Starmer tried to stop 4.6 million people voting.” ❌
Dramatic, but misleading. More than a dozen councils had requested the postponement themselves, including Conservative and Lib Dem ones, citing capacity concerns during local government reorganisation. Not quite the sinister voter suppression plot Farage is selling. 🎭

“We took this Labour government to court and won.” ❌
Not quite. Reform launched a judicial review that never reached a final judgment. The government withdrew “in the light of recent legal advice” and no court ever ruled in Reform’s favour. Big difference.

“Only Reform UK fights for democracy.” 👀
When Tory MP Christian Wakeford defected to Labour in 2022 without a by-election, Farage called him “the Dishonourable Member for Bury South.” 

Suella Braverman is now the fourth Conservative MP to defect to Reform without calling a by-election. Not one constituency got a vote. 

Four dishonourable members, quietly welcomed through the door. 🚪

As for democracy within Reform itself? The party is structured as a private company, with Farage and Tice as its only directors. Members have no vote on leadership or policy. 

🇷🇺 More broadly: Farage named Putin as his most admired world leader in 2014. When Russia invaded Ukraine, he told the BBC the West had “provoked” it. 

🇺🇸 When a mob stormed the Capitol to stop certification of a democratic election, his entire response was: “Storming Capitol Hill is wrong. The protesters must leave.” No mention of his friend Trump. No condemnation of the attempted overturn. Just enough words to claim he technically said something. 🫥

Labour’s handling of this was a shambles. An absolute own goal. And they will suffer because of it. 

But let’s get real here… Nigel’s big fight for democracy lasts exactly as long as it’s convenient. For Nigel. ⚖️

I’m guessing they rounded it up from £16,999,999,999.

It’s the education part of her remit which is most concerning. Anyone who uses the phrase ‘Wokerati’ on a regular basis in their speeches should not be anywhere the learning provision for our young people.

The trouble is that the British public are - I believe - stupid enough to give these guys a chance.

Watch out what you vote for - if you think the Tories were selling off the country wait until Reform get in - goodbye NHS - a we know it and hello to making us pay for our health either directly or indirectly (which we do now to a degree through NI/taxes).

Farage is a clown bully. All of their promises will come crashing down.

🤣🤣Have you found the magical third way, where somebody else pays for everyone’s medical care. Dear god, I thought Reform voters were supposed to be the dopey ones.

Well they were stupid enough to vote in this current shambles.

Hopefully you're right about the NHS. It's a complete money drain.

[sadoldgit]

This current “shambles” were served a poisoned chalice. They are far from perfect but are still better than what went before and led us to this mess.

Brexit, austerity and Covid have shafted this country economically. Starmer said last year that it would take two terms (10 years) to turn things around. Anyone thinking that there is a quick fix is seriously deluded.

Of course, it's all everyone else's fault. Everything will be fine in 10 years.

Whose fault was austerity? Whose fault was Brexit? God knows what things will be like in 10 years time, but we have lived through what has brought us to this and those who didn’t have their heads in the sand know what that was.
