Reform UK Makerfield candidate was 'friends' with neo-fascist leader

REFORM UK’s candidate in the Makerfield by-election was formerly “friends” on Facebook with a neo-fascist leader ...

@LillyHerself @baldur Same reason England needs #ReformUKLtd: to drive out the untermensch who are miscegenating with with the daughters of True Englishmen (or Icelanders) to produce tainted offspring.

The pure, sacred blood of the pure Aryan races must not be allowed to become contaminated!

“Farage, Reform caught in lie about his £1.4m house from undeclared cash”

“Oh dear, Nigel and his Reform UK limited company/ party have been caught in another lie. They are desperately trying to get Farage off the hook for his undeclared £5m donation but it’s not going well. Reform claimed that he had bought a posh £1.4m house with money from his appearance on ‘I’m a Celebrity’. But that’s been exposed as untrue”

Farage, Reform caught in lie about his £1.4m house from undeclared cash

The scandal of the undeclared £5m and Farage's self-enrichment is absolutely spiralling — and porkies only magnify it

Interesting side note on this question: the percentage difference between list and constituency votes, be party, was as follows:

SNP: 28.63%
Labour: 17.32%
#ReformUKLtd: 5.92%
#Tories: 0.007% <<<<< tribal or what?!?
#LibDems: 17.28%
#Green: -512.9%

I'd always had Labour down as the most tribal party in Scotland, but look at those Tories go!

Reform councillor quits because the press found his prior work as an OnlyFans performer and... glad he quit, glad any time a Reform political career ends, but that's a shit reason for it to happen

@drgeraint @Cyclist First Past the Post no longer works in favour of either of the two legacy parties, which are currently the two largest parties in #Westminster. Which is why you would think it would be a complete no brainer to legislate for full #ProportionalRepresentation, right now, before the summer recess.

I would bet you anything you like that it won't happen, and that #ReformUKLtd will win a 'landslide' in 2029 on the votes of 20% of the registered electorate.

The election, and after

The first thing to say about the 2024 General Election result is this: Labour lost, and lost badly. They lost, in fact, half a million votes compared to their 2019 result; they lost three million votes when compared to their 2017 result. They also failed to win anything remotely resembling a majority of the popular vote.

The Fool on the Hill

@drgeraint we could all imagine the #SNP WANTING that, but wanting isn't the same as winning, and a triumphant #ReformUKLtd government wouldn't pay a blind bit of notice anyway.

This is a 'kicking the can down the road towards the oncoming tanks' strategy.

#ScotPol

@drgeraint and how is that going to help? The #SNP won just NINE seats under #Swinney's leadership at the last #Westminster election; it will very likely lose two of those this summer in by-elections; and unless he plays an absolute blinder he'll lose a couple more at the 2029 election, to #ReformUKLtd.

How's he going to achieve anything with five MPs? They're lost in the noise.

#ScotPol

@patrickhadfield H'mmm... When you look at the full figures, only 38.2% of the electorate voted #SNP on the constituency vote (full disclosure, I'm one of those, and I am *not* an SNP supporter these days!) So when you say that 27% voted SNP on the list, that's 71.2% of SNP voters.

#BothVotesSNP has always been a party-before-country, anti-independence policy. Yes, it certainly boosted #ReformUKLtd's seats at the expense of @ScottishGreens.

“Stop making excuses: the UK is filled with racists who’ll happily vote Reform”

“Make no mistake: Great Britain has always been a far-right, racist circus; currently, that circus is gathering in the shape of Reform’s sweeping victories in the local elections. After all, let’s remember that Nigel Farage has not just waved a magic wand and tricked loads of people into voting for him. Instead, he’s piped his merry little tune to get racist white people happily skipping along behind him. If there is going to be any chance of resisting Reform’s fascism and racism, the left must accept it as such”

The left needs to deal the fact that too much of it thinks Reform voters are just 'manipulated' of 'disillusioned'. They're not.
