Yeah, they even bow to the bishop. We didn’t have a Reformation just so they could swing incense about the place willy-nilly.

Amusing to see Farage throwing a hissy fit! I guess he thinks that the House of Commons should be like GB News or the BBC who hang upon his every word!

If Reform gets into power, will he allow the other parties a right to reply? I don't think so, given how he's now happy for MPs and councillors to keep their seats after changing parties to Reform, despite advocating for such politicians to seek re-election in the past.

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

His comments followed the Prime Minister branding Reform as "Kremlin cronies sewing division".

How it actually works…

https://www.parliament.uk/business/c...f-the-speaker/

Quote:
There are 15 questions on the Order Paper for Prime Minister’s Questions. Because more MPs want to ask a question than there are slots available, a ballot (known as the 'shuffle') is run on a computer programme. This decides by random which MPs will ask questions and the order they will be asked in. The MPs are listed in the Order Paper and the Speaker calls on MPs in that order.

In addition to the MPs drawn in the 'shuffle', the Leader of the official Opposition usually asks six questions, and the leader of the third largest party two questions.

Probably the wrong thread for this sentiment!

Labour are going after reform, they see the threat. Reeves is going to blame Farage for her budget.

He's just getting in there first, like any competent political operator would.

Reeves would be daft to hide the negative ongoing cost of Brexit from the public now. That was her approach last time round when Labour wanted to woo former Brexit voters. Labour knows they're a lost cause now so she has nothing to lose.

Brexit has been the elephant in UK room for a decade now. But no politician has dared admit it for fear of telling the electorate that they're stupid.

Electorate aren't anywhere near as stupid as the idiots that listened to all the experts and polling companies that said "hey don't worry, Remain will ace this"

Quite possibly if they hadn't ignored 'the man in the street' they wouldn't have been so smug and sorted it better . . oh and wow, look at that, they're doing it again, ignoring the people :D

The 'people' haven't got a good track record. Politicians can't always be blamed. They are making a massive mistake again if they're taken in by Farage, the man that sold them Brexit.

I really hate Farage. I don't think he gives a stuff about anything but what he can get out of the public purse for his own back pocket. He's on the make.

Re: Reform UK's chronicles
 
I still support Brexit but that is another topic.
More relevant here is Plaid beat Reform in Caerphilly.

Interestingly the Google search "Plaid Cymru beat reform" has two headlines from BBC

Plaid Cymru defeats Reform in Welsh Parliament Caerphilly by-election
Plaid Cymru wins Caerphilly by-election as Labour loses ...
