Farage Ltd and Similar Watch

Courtesy of Leeds for Europe;

Nigel Farage's PMQs 'strike' has been ridiculed after it emerged he'd not asked for a question at the weekly session in three months. The Reform UK leader theatrically flounced up to the public gallery at this week's PMQs, moaning that he's attacked every week by the PM and opposition without having a chance to fire anything back.

"Every week at PMQs I am attacked by the PM and Labour MPs, but have no right of reply," he wrote on X. "I am just a mere spectator. So I have decided to spectate from the public gallery today instead."

But the main reason he hasn't been called for a question is because he hasn't asked for one.
 
"Five Reform UK county councillors have been expelled from the party for bringing it into "disrepute" and displaying a "lack of integrity".
Kent councillors Bill Barrett and Robert Ford, who criticised the party's "toxic" and "incompetent" leadership, were kicked out by email from Reform HQ, which said they had undermined the interests of the party.
Councillors Oliver Bradshaw, Brian Black, and Paul Thomas were also expelled for showing "a pattern of dishonest and deceptive behaviour which the party will not tolerate", Reform UK said".
 
That's the thing with racists, they are incredibly thick and unpleasant. I just hope they fuck themselves by 2029.
 
Difficulty is events like the bin man Wayne Broadhurst being stabbed to death in broad daylight while walking his dog by an Afghan man who arrived in the U.K. in the back of a lorry who’s since been granted leave to remain, being graphically shown to the world all over the internet, drives voters in droves into the hands of Reform.

Any incompetence is more than offset than the fuel those sort events provide and attempts to downplay concerns or hide information only make things even worse, to the point the shambles they are beginning to be shown as, or even worse what they might be in government, is not going to be anywhere near enough.
 
Oh dear what a conundrum, do the flag shaggers get angry about the flags coming down, or get angry about no Christmas lights going up? IMG_3420.jpeg

Labour need to sort themselves out and sharpish, if these lot get elected we are well and truly fucked.

I think that’s the only hope tbh but not a very realistic one. They were always on a hiding to nothing and never really appealed to anyone other than being the only realistic option for getting the tories who even most of their traditional supporters considered unelectable out.

Hardly surprising the punters are giving up and being catapulted towards reform or the greens, but that’s only going to end up one way. I’m holding on to the fact the election is a long way off, and people are increasingly seeing the likely chaos of what a Reform government would really mean. That said, am less confident Labour can find a solution in being true to their roots and appeasing their left, without haemorrhaging the huge wave of Con votes that were loaned to them on the basis Starmer was ‘safe’.

Still think though that ultimately this will come down to immigration. Open border policies from the left will never wash, or even platitudes around ‘bringing numbers down’, ‘smashing gangs’ or whatever, have long since fallen on deaf ears and Labour caught in a halfway house are stuffed on that one.

Looks like a straight Green v Reform fight to me.

The borders are no more open now than they were under the Tories, I don't understand why Labour don't mention this every single day.

Because it bags them both up the same and plays them right into Reform’s hands - Tories failed and Labour are similarly hot air and pissing in the wind.

It’s the brexit thing all over again.
 
…and migration figures overall are hugely down since Labour came into power, albeit that part was due to the last administration’s policies and part due to a natural fall that had to happen as the figures were so high.
 
Not disagreeing with any of that, but we’re way beyond debates about numbers between the washed up tories and current labour.

Similarly strategies around closing hotels, using army camps etc are not going to be adequate.

Stemming the tide to Reform is going to be very difficult when you’re asking those tempted to not go there, because you’re finding a faster (or slowed) way than the last lot of getting to somewhere you don’t want to go.
 
I do agree with you largely EW, but it just feels as though they (labour) are doing nothing to correct the narrative. They don't seem to have a strategy at all.
