June 2, 20241 yr Right! And the tories saying there’s clearly an imprint. CLEARLY?? it’s in a size 8 font. :lol: Tories love their rules until they have to follow them too it seems!
June 2, 20241 yr Author It might turn out that is technically legal because of the text in size 8 font though. Shows how desperate they are that they're going for these tactics five weeks from the election though.
June 3, 20241 yr Nigel Farage is making an announcement now! Oh Christ he's becoming leader of Reform.
June 3, 20241 yr Nigel Farage accepts offer to become leader of Reform UK Richard Tice says he has invited Nige Farage to be leader of Reform UK, to which he says Farage has accepted. I mean its a non-announcement really as he already was really the only reform person to be wheeled out 30p Lee aside Edited June 3, 20241 yr by ElectroBoy
June 3, 20241 yr I mean its a non-announcement really as he already was really the only reform person to be wheeled out 30p Lee aside This. He was and is everywhere so might as well be open about it. He's standing in Clacton. Hope him and Conservatives fight for same votes and let Labour through. Prob has loads of dodgy money behind him too but again that's nothing new.
June 3, 20241 yr So Farage has appointed homself as leader of the party, having said he didn’t want the job, and has also selected himself as candidate for Clacton, having said he wouldn’t stand. Don’t you just love honesty and democracy Freedom UK style?
June 3, 20241 yr Tories won the Clacton seat by a landslide in 2019. It would be interesting to know the current predictions in the area.
June 3, 20241 yr What's actually the point of Reform UK? What's their whole thing? Far right shenanigans
June 3, 20241 yr Tories won the Clacton seat by a landslide in 2019. It would be interesting to know the current predictions in the area. Prior to this announcement, the Tories were predicted to win with c32%, with Labour and Reform neck and neck on c24%, so any Farage boost likely wouldn’t hit Labour, unless it rallies the local Labourites. Interestingly Clacton is the only constituency UKIP ever won in a General Election, which is likely why Farage is trying his luck there.

Didn’t someone just defect from the Tories?
June 3, 20241 yr I didn’t think UKIP ever won any seats? Didn’t someone just defect from the Tories? Two members defected from the Conservatives in 2014 and held their seats for UKIP in by-elections. In the 2015 General Election one of them (Douglas Carswell) held his seat. He later resigned from UKIP following the Brexit vote and stood down as an MP ahead of the 2017 election.
June 3, 20241 yr The most interesting poll today showed the majority of GBNews viewers intend to vote Labour. There is no space anywhere that has any hope for the Tories. They literally have nothing they can do to turn this around at all. Nigel Farage probably was told his TV appearances would be cut short and decided to find a way to get more airtime he isn't gonna win that seat or effect much. Might lose the Tories a few more seats that's the only impact he can have this time around.
June 3, 20241 yr @1797659509910823220 I'm so happy I booked July 5th off work! This could be a historic moment. :cheeseblock: Prior to this announcement, the Tories were predicted to win with c32%, with Labour and Reform neck and neck on c24%, so any Farage boost likely wouldn’t hit Labour, unless it rallies the local Labourites.
