The Reform UK Party (latest nigel farage vehicle) is it to be laughed at or not

I bet when you get there the breakfast actually consists of half a glass of Pomagne and an out of date individual pack of rice crispies (to be shared).

You might get to shake the great mans hand

 

[Serge Forward]

To be fair if the picture above of Farage being punched to the floor, and repeatedly helped back up again for another photo, is what you get.

I'm in.

Alternatively, just sling the cunt over the parapet.

Do you have to pay more not to?

 

[not a trot]

I am just wondering how much more you have to pay for photos with their other MPs.

At a guess, it's 30p for one with Lee Anderson.

60p and you get to kick him.

Just don't offer to buy him an English breakfast or he'll be worried that the "expert" voices in his head will get offended and kick off. No idea how he managed to get it for 30p though, that's even ridiculously cheap for an crap looking excuse for a full English like the ones he eats...

As long as the "shake" is just his hands and not over his head, he won't mind too much.

Quick word, don't entertain this eejit. He's an antisemite and incel adjacent.

I've just messaged Reform -

Hi, I am interested in booking for your conference, the price seems very reasonable, considering I can have a photo with our messiah, good old Nige.

As a non-drinker, I was wondering if there's a different option to champagne at breakfast with the leaders, a milkshake would seal the deal for me.

I don't expect a reply, as I used the same e-mail address I used on the Tommy Robinson petition.

Adolf Hitler has just signed the petition, I can't see if it's been added, probably needs e-mail approval, which is a bugger, as I don't have the login for a.hitler@hotmail.co.uk.

 

[Elpenor]

Yes they charge, but it varies by what type of pass you want. After all, the venue has to be paid for. For instance, the current Lib Dem week pass cost for members is £130. Price goes up the later you leave it.

One week at the Lib Dem conference costs £130

Two weeks at the Lib Dem conference costs £30

enquire within for a further discount if you can provide your own dog and shotgun

Keep eating your way towards that heart attack, Lee <3

People are playing games with tickets for the Reform conference.

Farage critics try unusual tactic to block fans buying tickets for Reform event

Nigel Farage’s opponents are attempting to reserve thousands of pounds worth of tickets to Reform UK’s annual conference to stop people from being able to buy them

Nigel Farage’s opponents are attempting to reserve thousands of pounds worth of tickets to Reform UK’s annual conference to stop people from being able to buy them.
Activists appear to be discussing the tactics on social media as they scheme how to prevent supporters of the right-wing party buying tickets to the event at Birmingham's NEC on September 20 and 21.

Online users are sometimes adding more than £10,000 worth of tickets into their online shopping basket at a time despite most admitting they have no intention of putting the payment through. It is an attempt to block real Reform UK supporters from attending the conference as they then appear to be none left.

Reform UK said: “This happens every single time we hold an event. They do think they are frightfully funny and clever. But of course we have systems in place to deal with them.”

I am sure they 'have systems in place to deal with them', but I am also sure it's bloody annoying, and probably time consuming.

Yes the 'systems in place' is probably a couple of minimum-wage keyboard donkeys unbooking the fake bookings manually and relisting the tickets. So the fake-bookers are job creators

Reforms chairman was still a tory member until the guardian told them

Reform UK chair was member of Conservatives until last week

Exclusive: Zia Yusuf’s membership remained active until last week, when it was revoked after being pointed out by the Guardian

Are the broadcast media, in particular the BBC, allowed to editorially label Reform "far right"? I can't remember them being referred to as such, and nor by C4 News. I ask because I've heard France 24 call them that a lot, to educate their largely French audience, and they do the same with Rassemblement National, the most obvious Gallic equivalent. I wondered if stating the fact was against Ofcom regulations.

Now Parliament is sitting, time to see how they can get on in there now. Let's start with the men against boys which is Ed Milliband demolishing Richard Tice with his rant about renewable energy.

Local by election, in my ward of the town, in a couple of weeks to replace our local councillor who became our New MP in the general election. Reform have announced their candidate, who is so "excellent" even the Tories couldn't cope with tolerating his Islamaphobia and gave him the boot.

I see Nigel is now refusing to see Clacton's voters face-to-face because they may be carrying knives. Or, more realistically, he can't be bothered to go there.

I'm giving up ownership of Reform UK, says Nigel Farage

Reform UK is overhauling the way the party is run to give members more say at its annual conference.

www.bbc.co.uk

For the first time, members will be able to vote on policy motions, including to adopt a new constitution, which sets out party rules and the responsibilities of the leadership.

the lunatics are taking over the asylum

 

[King Biscuit Time]

Yes. First thought is that reform only works because Farage owns the cranks. Won't this just be like trying to manage the Tory party only much worse?

 

[Puddy_Tat]

yes, there seems to be an effort to maintain a 'respectable face of racism' at the moment.

if this is in any indication, then the power for members to actually shape the policy platform or meaningfully control the party rulebook will exist as a thoreitcal but in practice impossible. just a fiction to allow Farage to deflect criticism that Reform's not a real democratic party.

Under the proposed new Reform UK constitution, members will be able to remove Farage - or any other party leader - in a no-confidence vote.

A vote can be triggered if 50% of all members write to the chairman requesting a motion of no confidence.

Reform MPs can also force a vote if 50 of them, or 50% of them, write to the chairman requesting one. But this only applies if there are more than 100 Reform MPs in Parliament - a high bar.

50% not to pass a motion but 50% required first to even get a motion put to a vote? why not require the labours of Hercules first while you're at it?

Farage claims he was advised not to do surgeries in case someone knifed him.

Nigel Farage has said he received official parliamentary advice against holding in-person surgeries for his constituents – though his claim was immediately called into question by insiders.

On Thursday the Reform UK leader, who became the MP for Clacton in Essex in July, said he had been advised not to hold the physical weekly meetings that are a staple for most MPs, citing fears the public would “flow through the door with knives in their pockets”.


He recalled the murder of the Conservative MP David Amess at a surgery in Essex three years ago.

Farage said he had been given guidance by “the [Commons] speaker’s office, and beneath the speaker’s office there is a security team who give advice and say you should do some things and not do others”.

However, a source told the Guardian this was not advice that the office of the speaker, Lindsay Hoyle, or the security team would give to any MP as it would interfere with their democratic duties. They would, however, offer advice on how measures could be taken to ensure safety, the source said.

Farage has come under fire for spending time in the US supporting Donald Trump’s presidential campaign instead of focusing on his role as an MP.

During an LBC radio phone-in with Nick Ferrari, he was asked how many surgeries he had held in his constituency since he was elected. He responded: “Do I have an office in Clacton? Yes. Am I allowing the public to flow through the door with their knives in their pockets? No, no I’m not.”

Asked why people would want to be violent, he said: “Well they did in Southend. They murdered David Amess, and he was a far less controversial figure than me.”

Farage said he is “not yet” holding physical meetings with constituents but would “when parliament allows me”.

He added: “So we’re not in a fit state to do the old-style surgeries, but do you know what, if you’ve got something to say to me as a Clacton resident, Zoom is not the end of the world.”

ONE person murdered David Amess, Nigel. ONE.
