I wonder if his Boris announcement will raise or lower his oddsI put about £6 on Jenrick to be the next Tory leader, at 14/1.

Yet some people will still say "Labour can't be trusted with the economy."
why does no one ever ask them where the money went?!!?
I happened to be on Twitter and saw this - I have screenshot it:
Good come back!
Good come back!
I dunno… I pop onto tattle for some lighthearted relief and I get bundled into the “Thick twit” bin….

Whilst you might not care for Farage as a person, I’d love to know why people have a problem with Reform’s manifesto? Like, what about voting for that makes anyone a thick twit?
It's not that I "don't like" Farage as a person, it is that he is a dangerous populist fascist who shouldn't be anywhere near the government of a civilised, democratic country. I think lots of politicians are tits but I don't consider many of them as an active danger to democracy. See also: Trump.
Well, because it's scribbled on the back of a fag packet, it's pie in the sky, and it's revoltingly divisive. IMO.
If you want to look at Reform's crayola manifesto as a serious proposition (hint: it isn't because, like the Greens, they know full well they aren't getting in so they can afford to put in ridiculous policies that they know would never actually make the cut in reality), you might want to look at what the institute for fiscal studies has said about the costings involved:

Reform UK manifesto: a reaction | Institute for Fiscal Studies
An assessment of the tax and spending changes proposed in the 2024 Reform UK general election manifesto.
The manifesto was basically a fantasy document, there wouldn't be any money for it and it actually helps people who are already wealthy more than it helps the average person.
It's just something thrown together because they wouldn't get away with only saying the xenophobic and racist stuff otherwise.
Like I said in the last thread, Reform voters are no different to Count Binface voters voting for his free croissants or whatever it is. But at least people who vote Count Binface acknowledge its not serious.
It’s also a lie. A big lie
Feels like Brexit all over again. People being told they were twats for planning to vote Leave voted that way anyway.
Same goes for the tactic of calling folk ‘racist’ when they disagree with your opinion. I think we’re all a bit tired of it. Kind of ironic too when Labour have proved to be anti-Semitic on numerous occasions.
I’ll vote Reform because neither Labour or Tories deserve my vote. And if it winds up a bunch of rabid lefties then all the better.

Hilarious that Reform voters would definitely call me a rabid lefty when actually my politics are only just very slightly left of centre. The actual rabid lefties would call me Tory lite. Just goes to show the thinking power of those at either extreme of the political spectrum, or lack thereof.
Also it’s interesting how close the far left and far right can be. See the views on how big bad nato/US have caused trouble with dear old Russia
