Reform UK's chronicles

I actually think Badenoch has struck the right balance on this, as much as I normally disagree with her on everything.

She is appealing for calm, in constract to Farage's pot-stirring, and asking for answers without exploting the situation. Calling for rage isn't helping. Even if I think he can't be directly held responsible for the scenes we saw in Southamption, it does show why politicans have to be careful with their language.

As for Reform, do they do any vetting? This candidate for the by-election seems to have no end of troubling tweets brought up. They've hamstrung themselves right out the gate.

i don't think most reform voters give a toss about what old social media posts are causing woke lefties to have a melt down


what sickened me was starmer inviting the nowak family to downing street in full public view,playing politics to enhance his profile

I know Reform voters don't, but Reform need to appeal to a wider electorate. Especially women. There is a natural cap on the number of people who'll appeal to with a candidate who has expressed anti-abortion, anti-Ukraine sentiments. It plays very well on Twitter. Not to much in real life.

In my personal life I can't remember many of the women I've known having the faintest interest in politics, it doesn't have the same 'gossip appeal' as Gladys at number 27 taking that young male lodger in, or the farcebook posts about todays bargains at Primark.

Badenoch and Davey were respectful to the wishes of the deceased's parents. It is a shame Farage was not.

Never mind the Badenoch/Davey "tone". Farage is telling iot as it is and more of that is needed in Parliament.

I think after those latest local elections there were quite a few people telling stuff as it is . . whether those currently in power were listening is anyone's guess though

Doesn't need guessing. They know and shut it out for woke reasons.

Only Reform is calling the woke nonsense out properly. I want my party to do the same.
