Re: Reform UK's chronicles

If I had that much cash, I think I'd still refer a nice photo of my nearest and dearest.

"unconditional "

It was 'unconditional' on the basis that the donor did not expect a commitment to do anything in return.

You're getting desperate now, Hugh!

Why can't the come up with 1 reason for the money changing hands and stick to it? Surely if the truth is so innocent then they've nothing to worry about, but they come across as desperate for the story to go away.

It seems to me Nigel has come up with a superb scheme to use (gullible) people like you so he can trouser as much cash as possible. Do you want to buy some snake oil?

I don't think it right to associate OB with snake oil. It is a term attributable to Mandelson in most circles. So not OB.

If you believe that, I can now understand why you vote Reform…

I find it better to let these things play out by themselves rather than justifying someone else's behaviour just based on their word.

It's a great shame that Farage is in this pickle. Kemi isn't, if you see what I mean.

Badenoch criticises Reform over councillor’s ‘disgusting’ posts

Kemi Badenoch has said that she was “really shocked” by Richard Tice refusing to directly condemn comments about Nigerians being melted down and used to “fill in the potholes”.

Glenn Gibbins, who last week was elected as a Reform councillor in Sunderland, made the comments on social media in 2024, and has been suspended by the party.

Gibbins has apologised, saying the posts “were intended as joke, but were made in extremely poor taste”.

Badenoch told Sky News’s Sunday Morning With Trevor Phillips: “I think that was a disgusting comment that that Reform candidate made, and the Reform [deputy] leader … Richard Tice, wouldn’t even condemn it. That’s what I’m worried about. People say all sorts of stupid things, they should get slapped down when they do that.”

I wonder how many think it's funny, just can't say so.
