Reform cannot be currently seen as a serious political party. Just look at its structure and who "owns" it. The current Leader spends most of his time in the US trying to be relevant to Trump and the Deputy Leader spends half of his time in Dubai where his partner has moved to. Of course both of these two are MP's whose constituents are all probably wondering WTF is going on.
As for Tice, there is a delicious irony over him, his partner and their stated views on immigrants
Dubai-based Oakeshott laments immigrants in London
Quote:
Irony was laid to rest on TalkTV this week after Dubai-based Isabel Oakeshott hit out at the number of illegal immigrants that are reportedly residing in London.
The journalist, who has been living in the United Arab Emirates for a few months to escape Labour’s VAT raid on private schools, claimed to be able to identify illegal immigrants living in the UK capital when she returns to the motherland.
Her partner Richard Tice – the deputy leader of Reform UK – has also been splitting his time between Dubai and his constituency of Boston and Skegness, much like the party’s leader Nigel Farage, who is in between Clacton and the United States.
Others also pointed to the irony of Oakeshott living in an Arabic country where she doesn’t speak the language.
