Presume he has another article written saying the opposite

If only Boris Johnson's long history of casual antisemitism hadn't been studiously ignored from 2016 to 2019, eh.

She is actually right about Farage's current motives. With secret agent Sunak utterly destroying them in the campaign there will be relatively few Conservative MPs come July 5th. Farage is clearly banking on winning Clacton and then merging Reform and however many MPs it gains with the rump of Blue left in the Commons with himself as the new leader. It's so obvious.

Hopefully the cunt loses to Labour in Clacton as that will spike his guns just nicely thank you very much.

As for the blond scarecrow further above, his rantings show him up for exactly what he is. A boor, and an appalling writer, grifting a living from the most foul of daily newspapers as they are only ones who would have him. His cunning plan to fuck off to the States and hang around with Trump (something he shares with Frog Features) seems to have gone to pot with that host of convictions for the orange baby, so he will hang around like a bad smell while he gaslights and snipes from the pages of that rag i wouldn't wipe my arse with.

Reform will get 3 seats maximum though. They'll be noisy, but powerless

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

But he gains the remaining Tory seats (hopefully 50 at most if Rishi keeps up the momentum) in a merger with him as new leader. So it gets a bit noisier then.

Rather important he loses an election for the eighth time really.

A party of 50 has no reason to merge with a party of 3, one of whom was sacked for being a cunt. Bringing in Farage would lose them as many voters as it gained imo. They'd leak 'one nation' types to the Lib Dems. The Tories have a significant chunk reluctantly voting for them despite the move right, as have Labour. Moving further right will just disenfranchise the the small c Conservative peeps

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

They have all already gone in the Johnson purge. You have to be a complete headbanger it seems, to be either a candidate or a voter for them now.

Which is all good news for next month. It shows promise of being a night of utter carnage. I will be hoping to find a BBC feed so I can see Laura K's face as it unfolds.

If the two parties together win 40-45% of the vote (totally possibly under the current polling) then that is absolutely a tantalising prospect for a merged party under FPTP.

Johnson won massively in 2019 by sucking up the vast majority of the Brexit Party vote, and there are also plenty of Tories who already think that such a partnership should be pursued, and who view Farage as the most appealing future leader, more so than anyone already in the party. If they're reduced to a rump of <100 cranks and nobodies, that also probably leaves the percentage of MPs who like Farage as an even higher proportion of the party.

They might be idiots but I think even they're capable of identifying that there's undeniable logic to an alliance or merger which would give them Farage's household name status - depressingly, he has the highest net approval rating of any politician in the country - and give their horde of rudderless sycophants in the media a new focus for boosting the party back to power.

EDIT: And just after writing this, this popped up in my news feed: https://www.standard.co.uk/news/pol...ime-minister-rishi-sunak-labour-b1163027.html

Just Farage I think, even 30p Lee is second favourite to Labour

 

[Kenny]

Rishi's just one step away from hiding in a fridge. No questions allowed from the national media today.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Today's Express reveals Farage's six-year plan to take over the Conservative party if he wins a seat.

Somewhat predictable.

Sorry if posted before, but this is GOOD and I hope it went viral

About Mike Newton

A big welcome to my website. I am not a professional politician. I had no intentions of getting into this. I saw my future as running my small businesses, dog walking, going to football, and overdoing it on curries and fish and chips. How wrong that was!

Yeah, you're a fucking idiot Mike. Do one.

 

[Kenny]

Christ, still trying to get responses from this line and has even managed to twist that into a lie as well

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Just no quality control on candidates at all.

"And also remember the 'Peace In Our Time' note Mr Chamberlain was given by Herr Hitler". There you go, no-one should ever vote Tory ever ever again.
