You'd think with that £5m gift he could afford a map

How long till a "security emergency" cancels the rest of his tour.

"There is a big fishing fleet here in Portsmouth," Nigel Farage tells a Reform rally in Plymouth, which actually boos in response.

The second they stood up at that podium and said "we will follow the science" I knew it was going to bad. Up to that point it was already a bad job, that one statement nailed it as going to be worse because of No10. They didn't have a clue.

Something that needs to be written into the job description, with consequences.

At this point in time his MP wage is covering his bar tab. Must be great to have a well paying job you don't have to bother to clock in for.

The undercover reporter suggested people did not mind if Farage “makes a few bob [from politics]” Jukes replied: “Well it’s a bit priced in with our Nige, isn’t it, no one’s voting for him to be the pope” But a racist, corrupt, security-risk PM is fine, is it? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Still waiting for them to catch up with ITV last night.

When did the BBC description of Tommy Robinson change from ‘far right activist’ to ‘political activist’? Because that’s how he’s described on Radio 4 now

Usually a weather vane for the direction the usual suspects will go on a day. Nibbled around France and riots coming here because Burnham or something.

Tumbleweed. Watched it in chunks today. TBH what I expected of reform. It is a feature, you join them because you are racist. BBC on Sunday will be all across it, just you watch....

Alex Andreou @sturdyalex.bsky.social · 1d

Tumble weed across legacy media about ITV's exposé of Reform. Can you imagine the hysteria if an SNP councillor advocated for concentration camps or a Muslim Labour candidate said he wants to shoot MPs he considers traitors? The Mail front pages, Telegraph thinkpieces, and somber Today interviews?

Sort of how I would do it. Not hard to think that way and pretty certain that is Farage's end game. If I was that way of course, but I am not. Get power then turn on the eviler taps.

"Many elected officials within Reform believe the party is putting on an acceptable face to get elected, and then would install a British ICE, engage in mass deportations, or enact violent reprisals against civil servants, police officers, and others who it felt had betrayed Britain."
