I see you're following the Trump/Farage playbook of calling anything that reflects adversely on the Party/candidate "fake news" and "mainstream media bias", which is hysterical considering Farage is a presenter and shareholder in GB News, which in itself is basically a Reform propaganda channel.

If they were only factually correct, Hugh, I wouldn’t mind, but I know that a lot of what is said about Farage and his policies is patently untrue. They are just comments parroted from his detractors.
How do I know this? I listen to what he’s actually
saying. It does help!

If you want a right-wing party which has the most experience of governing and is safe to mention at dinner parties in the home counties then the Conservative Party has you covered here.
The three-way divisions on the right look sufficient to squeeze Reform and keep them out of power in the next general election. Farage's decision not to keep Rupert Lowe within the Reform UK tent could be his biggest strategic mistake.

You wish! Restore has a very poor level of support, and FPTP does not favour political parties with a low percentage of the national vote. Look at how many seats Reform got last time, even with the popularity percentage they achieved. It’s all turned around now, you might as well admit it, even if you don’t like it.
