The Reform Thread

[Gloucester Saint]

Rob Moore’s X account is full of him whining about paying tax, then whining about how high crime rates are and why it took hours for his 81 year old father to be seen in A&E. Not ‘progressive’ enough to join the dots as to why, nor work out (Brexit) as to why his beloved London isn’t a ‘tax haven’ any longer. Then praises Farage…

Please do move to Dubai Rob as keep saying you’ll do. I’ll drop you at the airport as you’re the sort who is minted but won’t pay for a taxi. Met plenty of those. Bet he claimed furlough as well…then wonders why there’s debt the country has to service.

Parasite.

Hypo would be better off following Gary Stevenson for a more incisive take

Agreed, has had more wealth and success but millions better not just financially but as a human being https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Stevenson_(economist)

The likes of Rob Moore are just poundshop Candy brothers, bet they’re his heroes.

Nearly half a million followers on TikTok. Surprised the Mail et al are doing their hardest to discredit him but he was the star at Citibank and the brightest of his LSE year so not really the charlatan they would want us believe 

Starmer shoudl give him a role assisting Reeves. They need to think bigger

I've got no idea who he is and I don't really have any interest in what he posts. I just found it interesting that Farage has so many tiktok fans and I posed a question if that had had any part in his recent success. I don't have a tiktok account myself but I know it's a young person thing.

Reform have certainly targeted that age group on TikTok, I remember reading about it. 

There we go https://news.sky.com/story/something-remarkable-is-happening-with-gen-z-is-reform-uk-winning-the-bro-vote-13265490

Seems to be what would have been the Young Conservatives when we were growing up in the 1980s plus the Conservative Student Societies which were pretty active, effectively replaced them. Like the YCs, this ‘bro’ crowd are almost all men as well 18-25. The YCs were always in the papers for various views that would make CCO shudder plus their drinking, and this cohort sound quite similar.

With the average Tory age of voter let alone member nudging up towards 75, this really is existential for them. Happy to welcome any One Nation Tories into the Lib Dem fold.

I agree with your analysis. Like you I fail to see what the Conservatives can offer young people who have grown up knowing nothing but Tory Governance.

You'll be interested to know that this evening I'm attending a mayor making in Kingston for a lib Dem mayor. Though I don't support them I am much more minded to vote for individuals at a local level and they are good people for definite.
