    It saddens me that Farage can do the same thing over and over. First UKIP funded him with a £8.4m donation from Arron Banks, a known associate of Russian government officials.

    That resulted in Brexit, Nigel nipped off abroad in the middle of the scrap then a few years later popped up with Reform with exactly the same shtick. Big smile, pint in his hand, telling it as it is and never off social media with his one-liners and simple solutions to everyone's problems.

    They have five MPs (out of 650), 3.5% of local council seats but over 30% of coverage on social media.

    It's like letting someone pick a lock as many times as they like until they get into your house.

    Sad isn't it, such an obvious conman but people don't see it because they want it all to be true ...

    ... like a 12 year old still believing in Santa.

    I’m not a Reform supporter but you’ve just played politics with your post the same they all do. 5 MP’s doesn’t sound too good but as a new party that’s actually very good.

    You failed to mention that they’re starting to pull away in the polls now, that will definitely be a big factor in them gaining more TV coverage. They’re clearly popular with the public.

    We seen the same thing happen with Labour when it was beyond doubt they’d be putting the Tories out. The TV coverage was mainly about them. It was to be expected.

    Well done to the Labour Party. We always knew that Brexit was the right thing for the UK but the Tories dealt with it horrendously.

    Looks like Starmer has recognised that and has gone in with the right attitude and getting good deals which we should have had years ago. Well played <applause>

    I wonder how Farage will spin his 'wonderful chairman' resigning ...

    ... much like when Musk called him out as useless and should be kicked out I expect.

    And Musk now attacking Trump, who's attacking Musk ffs ... who are all these weirdos who want to tell us how to live <doh>

    Their worldview is completely nonsensical and inevitably brings financial and social ruin. The grift for these bellends is to whip up enough froth and make away with enough coin (or power) before reality bites. Reform won’t do anything for the common man beyond send mortgage costs and foreclosures through the roof and the price of bread to triple.
