In the latest poll of GBNews viewers, the majority (42%) would vote Labour…

https://www.cableforum.uk/board/atta...1&d=1717422531

16% would vote Reform, 23% Conservative…

If you scroll down the tables in the link, there are questions on how people are viewed by the GBNews viewers polled - some interesting figures…

Viewed favourably/unfavourably

Keir Starmer 49/46
Rishi Sunak 40/56
Nigel Farage 46/46
Boris Johnson 41/55

So Nige has decided he’s the leader of Reform UK and he’s standing in Clacton. Makes things a bit more interesting I guess. He has to have a better chance this time than at any other. I wonder whether the Donald’s woes in America have helped persuade him to stay here. :rofl:

The trouble is if you don't want KS to be PM then any vote other than Tory puts KS into No 10 and back into the EU in some form

Is that a bad thing? Brexit hasn't really made anything better. It was either based on lies or el gov just never had the balls to change things for the better. Should there be another referendum? How do you think that'll go?

The other thing is that after Farage said he wouldn't stand the Tories based their campaign on winning back the core vote from them. Not only has that not worked but now Farage is going after them, and some of those currently voting Tory, too.

The Tories intentionality alienated voters under 65. What do they do now? They're running the worst possible campaign for where they may get some votes not already going to Reform.

I’ve been playing darts down my local on and off for about 18 years. I’m crap at it. We’ve had tournaments where I’ve had to stand in for people who couldn’t make it on the day. This has happened 8 times.

Each time I played I was crap and we went out at the first round at each tournament.

I wonder if Farage could learn something from this.

I dunno Russ, what can one of the most influential politicians of our time learn from the fact that despite years of practice you are still crap at darts and you bottle it on the big occasions? :D

Oh no, I bottle it on every occasion. Just like Farage…

Just the thought of having something in common with him makes me want to scrub my skin with bleach

Brexit has made things better for small boat people as we can't return them back to France.

Most people know we were sold a dud but no one's in the mood for another divisive referendum at the moment.

I don't see Starmer taking us back into Europe but there's obvious things we can do to reduce Brexit red tape and increase exports which I believe he will look at.

He does love himself a lot, how many political parties has he been in? Cons, UKIP, Brexit Reform i might have missed one.....
Why not change the name of the Party to 'Nigel' too. Hopefully the more decent people of Clacton will tactically vote against him. Always worked before.
