I'm not suggesting it (I'll leave that to right-wing commentators like former GB News host Dan Wootton) but wondered how you stood on the issue. I don't think Reform will either.

Specifically, which issue, Andrew?

Let’s go back to basics here, what is an ‘Islamist’? Is it about as useful as asking what is a ‘Christian’?

And before anyone answers, please do think about it first!

An "Islamists" believes that Islam is the true religion and that non-believers are despised. Fitting into that category are the bombers, the terrorists, the Jew-hating Muslim preachers.

An Islamist in this country wants Sharia law to dominate and regard it as only a matter of time before their numbers will result in political control in the UK and elsewhere.

Btw, no sooner have they gained political power, the hard core will be handed their weapons from the basement of the Iranian embassy and the lkikes og Hamas will run the country.

Defining a Christian includes the opposite of an Islamist.

It’ll start getting tricky for Reform UK now. The 13th Labour U-turn is likely to do more good for the Tories than for Reform UK. Zahawi’s defection won’t impress the floating voters particularly due to the unsavoury headline of him not getting a peerage and thus chucking his toys out of the pram.

A shame, but I think peak Farage has happened - without prejudice to the possibility of further peaks!

See Nigel made a moving tribute to Lost Prophets singer Ian Watkins, thought it interesting he paid particular attention to Watkins love of children, there is nothing farage wont say for money, I'm thinking of getting him to do a cameo on Fred West and how he was an exceptional builder.

I don’t see any danger for Reform just because polls go up,and down marginally from time to time.

Watch the press conference in which the latest defector, Robert Jenrick, laid out his stall. He made a very impressive speech - the next poll will be interesting.

Farage is going nowhere, he’s still way ahead in the polls, and the two main parties are no longer providing mass appeal.

Not true - he’s off to the WEF in Davos on Wednesday…

I wouldn’t trust Honest Bob, the MP for anagram, to put the bins out. He does have some principles, but if the price is right, he can have others.

How long will it be before he starts his first leadership challenge, I wonder.

Spot on. This former Remainer would have joined the Greens if they were ahead in the polls ;)

Andrew - you can do better than that. Dingbat has made grsatuitous remarks just based on dislike.

You, on the othert hand, have a deeper appreciation of politics.

True, Jenrick is an ambitious politician. He has judged his chances of achieving an office of state to be near zero with the Tories (as in wipeout). So he has taken a chance with Reform (he might not get elected again). So, he has taken hios ambition across to Reform UK and we’ll see what happens.

I wonder why Nigel Farage has pulled out of The Laura Kuenssberg TV programme this morning?

https://www.cableforum.uk/board/atta...9&d=1768739397

Probably holding a Constituency Surgery…

What else can one expect from a cowardly shallow grifter who like Trump tries to avoid awkward questioning.

More Spring cleaning: Romford MP Andrew Roisindell had moved into the Tory retirement village aka Reform UK. Strange time to announce it; maybe he feared being found out.

First met Rosindell in the 80s, when he was in the FCS and I was in the YCs.

It’s fair to say he’s found his spiritual home…
