Farage doesn't ever go up against anyone, he picks his battles, if any. He stands up at a Reform gig, he refuses to debate James O'Brien, he doesn't attend the HoC.
Showing him and his party up as much as possible in the flesh is what damages them.
Lee Anderson just speaking, Jenkins up against Purkis last week, Cunningham getting embarrassed a couple of weeks ago, this is what damages them, being shown up by people who actually know the realities.
Ignoring them thinking the general public would just do criticial thinking without being guided is why we are where we are now.
