    Reform will implode before the next election. If the general election had been in 2025 i think they would have won the popular vote. As it is i think their vote share will significantly decrease. Far too many warring factions.

    Doesn't matter. All they have to do is appeal to the racists,selfish lovely people and the absolute idiots of the UK and sadly they've got a majority.

    See, up until Covid i always identified myself as staunchly left wing.

    The trouble is, what that revealed was that those at that end of the spectrum who i previously identified with, actually hate the British people and in particular the working class - see this post for at least the former part of that, if not the latter.

    I feel like i don't currently have an ideological home. I think the Lib Dems are probably the closest but Ed Davey is a right old gimp.

    I agree. They are not from the UK, they are from England.

    is that what you meant?

    Chairman of Reform UK 2025 PLC, he was the only one other than Fartage with any say about the "party's" policies which of course in practice meant he had no say in policy at all, same as all the "members"....

    Weren't they a bunch of w*ker's and splitters. :D
    If I'd have been around in those days, I still wouldn't have bothered voting.
    But I would have gone to the stonings, alongside the women with false beards lol.

    Well I think it's more to do with the burka row he obviously disagrees with.

    I can never understand how anyone who isn't white could align with a such an ilk. You must know you're being used for wealth and to allege racism isn't a thing.

    The penny dropped eventually, but goodness, why didn't it happen sooner?

    The worrying thing is how the press are trying to play it down. "This really won't be an issue for reform voters." Was how Sky's journo put it forward. Then somehow pivoted to making a negative out of Labours Scottish gain.

    Of course he is. He will have been promised decisions and policies they help him to increase his obscene wealth. Selfish greedy lovely people like him don't stop being selfish greedy lovely people overnight

    Genuine question, do you seriously think that if a 30 year old successful entrepreneur and trader wanted to increase his wealth he would be working in politics 7 days a week, completely voluntarily and with zero salary?

    Serious question, do you genuinely believe that’s what happening and that, if it is, it’s out of the goodness of his heart and not for any financial or power gain?

    Yes. I refuse to believe that he would work non-stop, subjecting himself to the abhorent racist abuse he gets if he didn't truly belive in the message. Like I said, if he wanted financial gain he could go back to the city and make millions every year, or start up another business and sell it for millions. He'd make more money than he'd ever gain in politics.

    Like all political parties, Reform are a flawed party but I do believe Yusuf is a rare exception of someone who is in politics with the only intention of improving the country.

    But Reform are not like all political parties, they’re owned, Reform are more than flawed, they depend on racists to prop them up. They don’t fight on a multiple policy programme, ‘ immigration’ is by far at the forefront of their policies. If that is your take on someone wanting to improve this country, then enough said.
