Re: Reform UK's chronicles

I just don't know which implosion to look at? Musk and Elon or Reform UK? I'm being spoilt!

Will also be interesting to see if Reform continues with the Doge brand for its audit of its newly-won councils as this may now be out of favour.

Will you now add Reform UK to that list in light of recent events? An MP going off piste on Wednesday and the Chair, largest funder and individual responsible for professionalising the Party quitting yesterday.

Re: Reform UK's chronicles

In other news, ‘third place in the Hamilton by election’ as a headline scarcely does Reform justice. It was a 3-way close race, which Labour won, with the SNP (who had held the seat) in second, but Reform coming up close behind.

I loved the BBC report

Not a word often heard on the BBC…

Re: Reform UK's chronicles

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cwy60vjy1y8o

Quote:
The tech entrepreneur who quit heading up Reform UK's Department of Government Efficiency (Doge) says he did so because the resignation of the party's chairman left him with "a bit of doubt" about the future of the project.

After 11 months in the role, Reform UK chairman Zia Yusuf resigned on Thursday alongside Nathaniel Fried, who was said to be leading the unit.

Asked by Politics South East whether the Doge audit of Kent County Council (KCC) was going the same way as Elon Musk's project in America, he said: "I don't know to be honest, I'm no longer in charge of Reform's Doge."

Re: Reform UK's chronicles

If true, I'm pleased. Reform UK currently fills the void left by the Tories. If Reform can stay in the game, it should inspire the Tories to start getting things right (starting with a cull of their front bench) so that should Reform cave later in the Parliament, the Tories might come through. Or are we looking at flying pigs squared?

As Mark Twain nearly said: the demise of the Conservative Party is greatly exaggerated. If you don’t read the newspaper, you’re uninformed. If you read the newspaper, you’re mis-informed .

The Conservative Party is done, for a minimum of two election cycles at least.

The country needs radical change and the Tory’s and Labour are two cheeks of the same arse.

Re: Reform UK's chronicles

Reform UK is not the successor to the Conservative Party. By policy and spending, it's more like the love child of Jeremy Corbyn and Liz Truss.

The right one would be more reddish, I would have thought, depending on the curing/smoking process…

That might be what the people want.

Also U.K. gilts are way higher now than they were under Truss
