Occasionally the mask drops. But few will be listening.

No - not really. For the first time since 1997 we have three generations all voting Lab
People will listen. Many have thought Farage a safe NOTA vote. Until they realise he is a fucking tool, nestled in Putin's lower colon.
And he just dissed the King too.
I wish my bookmakers to understand that I'm some penniless punter with an eye on politics. I'd prefer them not to know that this is in fact the truth.
Unless Rishi goes boots on for hanging and flogging, they are not coming back. That said no more than half a handful of Reform seats.
On topic, Farage is a worm. I doubt the Putin remarks will make much difference. Snake oil salesmen gonna snake oil. Sadly it seems he's quite good at it.
As for the pro-Putin policies of Corbyn, I'll settle for being neutral, making a huge amount of money off any war, then only actually joining when our fleet gets Pearl Harboured - that strategy doesn't seem to have done America's long term reputation or its bank balance any harm.
If you’re selling at £100 a seat, that’s ten or twenty bags, a sizeable chunk of your liquidity gone unless you’re a millionaire.
Starmer will reverse Brexit, warns Badenoch
Business Secretary tipped as next Tory leader urges voters not to risk the danger of a Labour government

For example, neglecting to mention that Farages answer to that question also contained the words "obviousy the war is Putins fault"
If the aim is to prevent Reform from getting votes and seats then it needs to be Labour making the attacks as well, as they are considered more honest. Trouble is they won't because electorally it is in their interests for Reform to do well and take votes from the Tories.

The tories have got to find some heavyweights
😉
There are no shortage of examples in Europe where popular discontent has led pissed off and/or thick voters to turn out in great numbers for parties that are more extreme than Reform. We ignore them at our peril.
So perhaps in a not-Cockney-rhyming-slang-but-feels-like-it way we could simply say something like ‘That Farage, he’s a right tuna!’ Or in a year’s time when the jubilation’s worn off and we think Labour are crap we can fulminate ‘Fuck off Starmer, you massive tuna.’
Perhaps we could get it to be one of those meems on that tick tock.

That was then and this is now. It would leave a vacuum on the right where the extremists like Farage could take over. They already began to pull the Conservative Party to the right.
This is a time of great danger.
I responded earlier on this thread
As for the Cons being replaced by extremists. That happened in 2019. They are all now already Farage fans or preparing to be appeasers.
It's interesting to consider what would have happened if the USA had joined in back in 1939. Would France have fallen? would Japan have decided to attack Pearl Harbour given how an America at war would have increased their military output?
(The last question seems particularly interesting, given the somewhat insane decision to attack Pearl Harbour in the first place.)
I think poor Nigel was provoked into making a total arse of himself by Nick Robinson asking him questions about it. So I blame Robinson really.
Next step.
If Richard Tice is watching, what do you make of this? There you were, trying to build a respectable populist right party, and then this clown comes along. He was always going to, but no use crying over spilt milk. You can't do anything, but you can say something. Or what about Lee Anderson. Thirty pee for your thoughts?
Or all the Farage-curious types in the Conservative politico-media ecosystem. Suella. Jacob. Are you OK with this? Between you and me, I'm rather looking forward to your impending irrelevance, but here's a chance to redeem yourselves before you shuffle off.
He has neither the depth nor the warmth to be the C word.
I'll be quite disappointed in the voters of Clacton if he doesn't.
What’s their campaign director up to? Oh…
The current Conservative Party with or without Farage is not that party, Johnson got rid of all the good guys. Johnson killed the Conservative Party as we knew it.
What's the common denominator between the rancid right and the rancid left, and what first attracted them to Putin?

Just Farage echoing Putin’s vile justification for the brutal invasion of Ukraine.

- Direct Russian funding of far-right organisations in many cases
- Binary opposition to "the libs" - centre left and general establishment are pro-Ukraine, so they are pro-Russia out of pure contrariness
- Russia being seen as defenders of 'traditional values' (aka persecuting gay people)
- Flat out white supremacy (despite Russia having the largest Muslim population by miles in Europe, Turkey aside)
And then the result is that British support for Ukraine is weakened.
I hope it doesn't go that way, but there is precedent.
He would quickly become irrelevant
The decent tories have been silenced or driven out. This country will need them back. They must not let 'the lunatics take over the asylum.'
He says South Holland & the Deepings is in the East of England.
It's in LINCOLNSHIRE, FFS !
