They all remind me when you first do debating in class and you pick a candidate and they promise things like milkshake Monday but obviously because they are kids they have no idea how much it costs etc
Is there really any need for you to be so bloody rude and sanctimonious?Why is it ok for the media to hold the Labour government to account (fine when it’s justified), but not for them to look into Nigel’s dodgy past? No one should be exempt from scrutiny and if he wants to be PM him and his intellectually challenged supporters needs to accept this is going to happen from now on. If he has nothing to hide then he has nothing to worry about does he?

Imagine the reaction from The Telegraph, The Times, The Sun, The Daily Mail and The Express if Corbyn had been accused as a teenager of saying “hitler was right” and “gas them all” to Jewish classmates.Why is it ok for the media to hold the Labour government to account (fine when it’s justified), but not for them to look into Nigel’s dodgy past?

absolutely. the stories of Farage prancing around Dulwich with his hand in the hitler salute and being a supporter of the national front precede his Reform days. I'm not surprised they are circling around again.Imagine the reaction from The Telegraph, The Times, The Sun, The Daily Mail and The Express if Corbyn had been accused as a teenager of saying “hitler was right” and “gas them all” to Jewish classmates.

What's on Farage's Brexit Club Classics? B.B. King's Broke and Hungry?
Will Simon Harris or Supertanskiii be Reforms next candidates?Taxpayers in Essex to pay £35 K for a re-elction in Rochford, after winning Reform candidate was found unsuitable.
Shouldnt the Reform party be paying for this? Especially when they have so much money spare to pay for helicopters, Security, and sending individual election leaflets to everyone in Essex, personally named and sent out by post! Signed personally by Nigel himself!

Wow this looks almost like bribery!!!Posted on the UK politics thread but relevant here. This could be why Ziah Yusuf is being pushed front and centre (apart from the v awkward position in between the british public and his best friend Donald in regards to our involvement in the Iran war)
The Farage story could be huge.
There will be an investigation into the £5m and why it was given.
Its compounded by the fact that same donor has donated to 3 Farage backed projects, Brexit Party, Ukip and Reform.
And interestingly because Farage said he wasn't going to stand (on the record) this payment came in and then he said he would stand, this looks like a persuasive payment from an already politically active donor followed by policy advocacy aligned to the donors interest (Nigel's sudden interest in
cryptocurrency Lib Dems call for inquiry into Farage bitcoin deal - BBC News ).
This could even go further than breaking standards, it could break electoral law, and even bribery laws.
If it is found that he has breached the house of commons standards he will be suspended from the house. If the suspension goes over 10 days or more they will trigger the recall of MP's act. MP's will vote for forcing a by election in Clacton (only need 10% of MP's to do this so it is likely).
Oh yeah that's a great point. Didn't he lie about getting a recommendation from Lindsay Hoyle about not doing surgeries because of threats to him.... so if he now has $5m security, how come he's still not doing them?Wow this looks almost like bribery!!!
Added into this, is the gossip that one of the reasons given for Nigel's rare visits to Clacton, and lack of holding any local surgeries is that he doesnt have enough security... how much does security cost?
You’ve all got it wrong. When he said he needed £5million for protection, he meant protection from being poor.Oh yeah that's a great point. Didn't he lie about getting a recommendation from Lindsay Hoyle about not doing surgeries because of threats to him.... so if he now has $5m security, how come he's still not doing them?
Think the question is whether it’s going to stickAre the right wing press finally starting to turn on Farage?
I think this cash gift is probably the tip of the iceberg with regards to Farge’s dodgy behavior.Think the question is whether it’s going to stick
He or Reform seem to rock the boat every once in a while with something and it’s painted as really really bad but then gets forgotten about for the foreseeable
It’s a bit like watching the Tories run their reputation down the drain from the start - will probably take something that affects the average voter personally to tip it over the edge
