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

[Rompipalle]

I saw RH on a snowy n8ght in Edinburgh a few years back...was surprised by the number who did dress up given the weather.
Barber of Seville recently not so much

Mr Rompipalle and I are going to see it in a couple of weeks from now at the Playhouse. We have no plans to dress up.

I see Nigel Farage has taken Musk's support for Yaxley-Lennon well....

Please be true

Please be true

I'm sure it wouldn't take much to get Musk to believe it was Farage.

Twelve Reform UK councillors to resign over Nigel Farage’s leadership

Exclusive: Departures will add to pressure on party leader after Elon Musk said he was ‘not up to the job’

www.theguardian.com

The councillors alleged the party was being run in an “autocratic manner” and accused Farage of “disloyalty” to long-term members.

Presumably they've never met him before.

There are splits within the party over the jailed far-right activist Tommy Robinson, who is supported by Musk.

I really didn't have "Reform single-handedly destroyed by a single Musk Xhitting session." on my January bingo card.

You beat me too it!

Nevertheless, the potential departure of the 12 councillors – who between them hold two district council seats, nine town council seats and five parish council seats – would mark the loss of a significant chunk of the party’s existing local authority representatives. All are from Derbyshire, a target area for Reform, and include Alex Stephenson, who came second in Amber Valley during the general election with 28% of the vote.

In a statement seen by the Guardian, they said they could not continue “in good conscience” under the leadership of Farage, adding: “We believe that the current party management is either incompetent or malevolent, and we have lost all confidence in the leadership and its structures.”

They cited a lack of internal democracy, claiming that a new constitution adopted by the party at its annual conference was flawed and that there had been no progress towards a promise by Farage to democratise Reform, which was set up as a company in which he holds a controlling stake.

The councillors backed the Farage critic and former joint deputy leader Ben Habib, whom they said had been “unceremoniously dumped” and was the man who “truly represents the vision and values that drew us to Reform UK”.

Happy days!

UK should consider letting IS members return, terror watchdog says​

The government should consider repatriating British members of the Islamic State group (IS) who are being held in Syrian detention camps, the government's independent terrorism legislation reviewer Jonathan Hall KC has said. Mr Hall's comments come after Donald Trump's incoming counter-terrorism chief, Sebastian Gorka, said that if the UK wanted to be seen as a "serious ally" of the US it should take back its citizens who joined IS.

I think i read a trump supporter said the same the other day (don't think it was trump himself).

Edit-

UK should take back Isis members in Syria, Trump’s terror chief says

That includes Shamima Begum, who left for Syria from Bethnal Green, east London, as a schoolgirl in 2015

So farage is following the new trump party line. Still as said will piss off uk tommie supporters.

how things will likely play out

farrage and kemi spending the next few years trying to out do each other on the racism front whilst claiming to be able to lower taxes at every turn

the left and liberals will piss around blaming each out for inaction till an election is called

then kemi forms a government with the frog face twat acting into as king maker to trumps delight

It’s quite likely that Trump will be out of power by the time the next election happens in this country, given the timescales of the respective electoral cycles, although quite possible he will have been succeeded by someone in a similar position on the loon axis.

 

[Dogsauce]

I think that what will happen is Labour will just scrape through the next election, with Reform taking a huge chunk of seats. What’s left of the Tories will merge with them, and Farage will walk into number 10 at the following election.

That would be nine years ahead of now, can Farage keep momentum until then without a clash of egos destroying his political project? It’s already coming apart.

He'd also be around 75. Doubt he can be arsed.
