I think Farage has seen that his fawning to Trump has not paid off as Trump has favoured building up diplomatic ties with the UK through official routes. Having to side-step the President at his club in Florida always looked a bit tenuous, no matter how nicely Farage dressed it up.

So, Farage may have taken note of the opinion polls and seen that the UK's not particularly keen on another war giving us higher fuel prices, holiday travel uncertainty, more refugees and perhaps another Iraq situation. And u-turned accordingly.

Those politicians on the right wing of the Conservative Party are the ones that Reform are interested in. That gives them an experience base on which to build.

Nothing wrong with that. If ‘Your Party’ ever gets off the ground, they would be looking at disaffected Labour politicians on the left of the Labour Party in exactly the same way.

The problem is that if your USP is built upon the establishment parties failing Britain, packing your party out with MPs from one of those parties is problematic. At the very least, it dilutes your message and confuses the electorate. At its worst, it looks hypocritical.

Re: Reform UK's chronicles
 

You misunderstand. The politicians Farage is importing are those who have been frustrated by their own party failing to deliver. They haven’t failed, their party has. So they have changed their allegiance for a new party that better recognises their own values.

Is that why Rupert Lowe left, or was it because Reform is mainly being funded (£22 million so far) by a Thai-based cryptocurrency dealer?

Most of those 'movers & shakers' are still the same smarmy self interested people they were before, they now just wear a different tie and socks.

Think of them as footballers, if the team they play for gets relegated, they try to 'engineer' a move elsewhere, and it's not for the benefit of the fans.

Reform had a rally in Leeds the other day - their slogan choice was "interesting", considering the location…

Not that I feel any particular need to defend Nige, but seeing as Bob the Builder was innocently going round asking people ‘Can we fix it?’ Right up to the last ever episode in 2018, this probably isn’t the self-pwn you think it is…
