Not always keen on Guardian commentators but Rafael Behr is very eloquent and smart.

I genuinely think you can judge most of these Reform by their faces. Looks such a cold bastard

Someone has to make those hard decisions. We shouldn't underestimate the impact it has on the brave, patriotic reform politicians. 

I just hope that they don't find themselves in a position where they can't find work, because they've cut all of the benefits for the mental health issues they are suffering from. 

"Looking at your claim form Mr Jenrick, I see that you claim to be suffering from PTSD, as a result of machine gunning immigrants in the English Channel. Also, anxiety leaving the house to face all those you cut the benefits of, including those impacted by reimposing the two child benefit cap.

I'm sorry to say..."

Leftist waffle. 

 

What is good about what he said?

Basically he’s just said “could the right-wing parties please stop weaponising the constant unrelenting stream of events that completely vindicate their world view”

You would’ve been queuing up in 1930s Germany to join the Gestapo or the SS.

Standard Reform stuff, if Farage finds any more rotten apples, he’ll need a new industrial estate chock full of barrels to store them in.

Most of the featured are Reform elected councillors, one a Deputy Council Leader!

Literally the most unsurprising news of the day.

A party of racists, for racists.

There seem to be an awful lot of misunderstood people with 'personal issues'  or who are on strong medication that affects their perceptions and speech.

Well, I would say many of them are probably mentally retarded, and would require some sort of medication for it.

Or perhaps self "medicated" in some way. 

Fair play to ITV for going hard on this, these people needed exposing for what they are. That said, I'd imagine that some of their supporters would have been delighted rather than appalled to hear some of that.

It's wanking material for the far right tbh.

Hasn’t another Reform person just been done by the police for inappropriate behaviour?

Or is this fake news by the woke left? 😂

Scummy people of a scummy party doing scummy things. Who’d have thought it? 

Tonight’s undercover ITV documentary will create more headlines. Thing is Laila, it’s not just a few people is it? https://www.lbc.co.uk/article/farage-joked-racism-claims-reform-documentary-5Hjdk4x_2/

It’s your leadership, deputy mayors, hundreds of elected councillors since before the 2024 GE saying these fascist things which Nick Griffin wouldn’t have thought twice about, not to mention the everyday members and clear empathy whatever Farage says towards Tommy Robinson and Raise the Colours.

Expanded into the membership at scale and their sheer racism, with heaps of examples of far right great replacement theories abound, and more depth on the Chris Parry mess. Farage’s media team wanted him gone, Farage bottled it in a way he wouldn’t have done with Wayne from Millbrook say, because of the Naval rank, and Parry went on to praise Hitler’s Naval commanders during WW2 on X. Then eventually suspended for blatant anti-semitism with the investigation still unresolved. This was a high profile chance for Farage to make good on his promise at their last two party conferences to kick the racists out and sort the vetting out. When push came to shove, he didn’t want to do it because the core of his views are also Parry’s. Their media team were openly mocking the standard of the candidates.

Some of the rank and file are leaving because of Yusuf being a Muslim. Ian Cooper, Leader of their Staffs CC, exposed as a clear white supremacist and ‘top fan’ of a white-only dating website full of Neo Nazi tropes yet Farage agonised about sacking him or not. Cllr Gavin Beatles then caught on there. Sarah Pochin spells out at their Christmas party how bad the sexism is as well.

It won’t put off any of the 20% hardcore who are energised by the them in the same way Momentum’s anti-semites were by Corbyn, but it’ll put anyone genuinely right of centre, let alone anywhere left of that group miles off engaging with them, and will just intensify the tactical voting alliances already well underway which will grow further in resources eg ‘how do I stop Reform at all costs in my constituency?’.

Clear that their ex-Tories such as Alan Feeney, Deputy Leader of Solihull Council, had joined because of Sunak and then Badenoch becoming leader of the Conservatives. Nothing to do with their policies either. It’s a very racist party for very racist people, there’s far too many examples of pure unfiltered racism, and others willing to cover it up in any attempt to win power for it not to be. At a Hampshire level, very clear links with and support exchanged with the Portsmouth Patriots group who have done Nazi salutes on the seafront, organised the boats violence with the police/RNLI, and very extreme FB content. George Madgwick, Hants CC Reform stirring it up on SM. So Reform are also skate bastards.

Clearly they think they can fool enough people that they’re a centre right alternative to the Conservatives but they aren’t and never were. They’re MAGA UK, inherited the BNP’s core. Tommy Robinson and Rupert Lowe get a lot of praise when they don’t think they’re being filmed, so a lot of their prospective MP candidates aren’t even honest about their true views.
