Braverman to Reform UK potentially strengthens them

Truss to Reform Uk would seal it for me: Reform UK would then be bad news.

So, Truss isn't defecting to Reform any time soon! One thing in its favour, I concede.

Liz Truss: 'The Blob' is trying to infiltrate Reform

Liz Truss has claimed that “the Blob” is trying to infiltrate Reform UK, alleging that Robert Jenrick had an “ulterior motive” for defecting to Nigel Farage’s party.

In an interview with the Daily T podcast, the former Tory prime minister claimed that, far from being a Right-wing insurgent, Mr Jenrick was “part of the British establishment”.

Ms Truss also insisted that her short-lived premiership had been the “last chance” to avoid the Conservative split with Reform.

Her comments came two weeks after Mr Jenrick, the former shadow justice secretary, said he would have “chucked her out” of the Conservatives over her disastrous mini-Budget.

Asked about Mr Jenrick’s defection, Ms Truss said: “I’m sure ‘the Blob’ is trying to infiltrate Reform. I’ve no doubt about that.”

Asked who was giving Mr Jenrick orders, she added: “What I’m suggesting is that Nigel Farage is now the bookies’ favourite to be next prime minister.

“If you are a member of the British establishment, if you are somebody who has connived to keep Britain on this managed decline trajectory, what are you going to try and do? You’re going to try and get into Reform. That seems the logical thing.

“So what I’m suggesting, given Robert is not stupid and is a perfectly intelligent person, he knows what happened in 2022. He knows that the Bank of England was responsible. I’m sure he’s read the report that they put out in 2024.

“So all I can assume is he must have an ulterior motive.”

There has been speculation over whether Ms Truss will join Reform, but after his defection earlier this month, Mr Jenrick poured cold water on the idea...

In an interview after his defection, Mr Jenrick had said: “If I’d been leader of the Conservative Party, and that’s obviously ancient history now, I would have chucked Liz Truss out of the party because the mini-Budget was careless and cackhanded.

From a dying and out of touch political party. Reform is taking on people who were on the right of the Conservative Party and have been espousing popular policies that have been ignored, which let in a Labour government, which has only compounded the problem.

It seems that name calling is all the left inclined have to offer, because they know in their hearts that Reform UK is right.

It was careless and cack-handed because the means of paying for the increased spending was not to be announced until the Autumn Statement a few weeks later. She did it to reassure those who were extremely concerned about how they were going to get through the winter with fuel prices spiralling.

Her show of compassion for their plight was her undoing.

Your interpretation of Truss’s motivations is right up there with your forecast of her effect on U.K. Politics when she was standing in the Leadership contest, and after…

Truss might just see Labour out of office for another 15 years minimum.

The general public don’t see this yet, but in the end, she will carry the Conservatives through to the next election

I think people will be pleasantly surprised with Liz Truss's performance.

Well, I didn’t anticipate the massive stitch-up that followed - that is certainly true.

I now realise the uphill battle Reform will have in breaking down these barriers, but with a united party, Farage stands a much better chance.

If Truss's actions had been any good, there would have been no stitch-up. Simples.

If you put a conspirator's hat on, you could dream up a far-fetched case for stitching her up if she was any good, though doing so would be hard. However, she was incompetent so the creator of her own demise.

Churchwarden linked to foreign-born billionaire is behind £200k Reform gift

The man whose firm made the donations will not discuss where the money came from, nor his ties to wealthy Farage allies who may not hold citizenship.

John Richard Simpson is a 59-year-old conveyancer whose parish website describes him as an “experienced” and “dedicated” Anglican lay leader.

He is the owner of Interior Architecture Landscape Limited, which made seven payments to Nigel Farage’s party last summer. The firm, which was originally owned via a trust in the British Virgin Islands, is so small it does not have to file professionally audited accounts. It did not display any contact details until recently and was almost wound up by HMRC after a tax dispute last year.

Simpson, known locally as Bill, “does conveyancing, but is not a fully qualified solicitor”, according to a Facebook post by a neighbour in the Hertfordshire town. There is no evidence he has any background in interior design. He has no known political affiliation or background in activism.

He would not discuss the source of the funds donated to Reform last week.

Simpson has long worked for Sasan and Yasmin Ghandehari, a married couple who a spokesman for the interior design company acknowledged were “clients”.

Last month, the Ghandehari family office sponsored Farage’s pass to Davos and a hotel in the Swiss resort for the World Economic Forum’s annual gathering.

They claimed to have retained the Reform leader as “an honorary and unpaid adviser” in an arrangement first reported by the Financial Times.

… Although Bill has been sole shareholder and director of Interior Architecture Landscape Limited for two and a half years, it was originally incorporated in 2013 by a BVI trust of the same name. That entity shares the same address as the Ghandehari trust that owns the mansion.
One has to wonder where a person whose Company had Net Assets of under £100k in their last set of accounts, and had compulsory strike-off actions in 2024 and 2025, found £200k from…

No. I see through the hype. Others seem to be suffering from a bad case of gullibility.

I am so sorry to hear that this bothers you so much.
