Or are we looking at flying pigs squared?

Didn't Badenoch fairly recently say that she "doesn't make mistakes"? What a silly thing to say, we all make mistakes, it's part of the human condition and a way for us to learn & improve ourselves (I believe that this is the actual point of our time spent here).

Farage going out of his way to get him back is probably an indicator that he is more willing to get things slide to keep what he considers to be effective political operators around. It looks messy now but he isn't falling into the trap he did before of letting ego get in the way of politics.

Exactly, he was happy to let Lowe go.

You have to keep your best people.

Farage was in Port Talbot yesterday fooling people in to thinking Reform would reopen the closed parts of the steelworks and get the coal mines open again. And yep some valleys people are thick enough to believe him.

I wish I’d known he was coming, I’d have saved up several bags of shit to throw.

Oooooo, harsh!

Not harsh at all. Your abhorrence of Reform & the Tories matches perfectly your remarks.

The UK needs prime steel and Port Talbot can produce this. Wales has coal that can fuel the furnace. Importing Australian and Japanese coal is ridiculous.

If we are to improve economic growth and self sufficiency in steel, then we have to do what Reform have said they would do.

:rofl:

Your lot have earned my “abhorrence” and Reform are just spouting anything they think people will agree with.

As is his duty, Farage has totally ignored the cost of all this.

The most efficient way of producing our own coking coal lies in Cumbria, at Woodhouse, which has already been considered and rejected (albeit on a technicality). But wherever one might dig a new mine, it would not be the mass employer that the mines of old once were.

Farage is not making a serious proposal. He is trying to tug the heart strings of communities with deep memories of life revolving around the mines. If you’re simping for him on this, you’re a fool.

The worrying thing is many people up in the valleys are falling for it. The “boyo” mentality lives strong for a lot of them.

Reform cleverly endorsing swift bricks which Labour blocked in fear of Reform using it against them.
Quote:

“The hypocrisy is just staggering,” said Bourne-Taylor [campaigner]. “I’ve heard that No 10 and Angela Rayner are worried of doing anything that’s deemed woke, and nature is in that bracket. They’re terrified about Reform and Trump. And so they don’t want to do swift bricks because it sounds a bit lefty. But nature has absolutely no business being woke or anti-woke. That’s a big problem.”

Trouble is, you don’t have any suggestions for improving Wales’ lot.
