Election Year or Fear!

Another day Another tory defection to Reform, Another example of Farage and the defectee looking stupid.

Lol…Zahawi? As part of Johnson’s Cabinet he said he’d be ‘frightened to live in a country led by Farage’…now he sees Reform as a ‘glorious revolution’. What a disingenuous tw@t.

Its bizarre, especially given farage's previous comments about Zahawi only looking to climb the greasy pole!! So Reform increasingly looking like a repository for the most useless, idiotic Tories!!

One laughs when fagae say he wants people with expereinc eof government, I mean yes these clowns do have that, but expereince of ****ing things up is not exactly good experience is it?

But will the ****wits who support reform stop and wonder why its got a load of (often rich) ex Tories on board, when Farage is promising a change from the old ways of government?

Still it will be fun, when as will inevitably happen, Zahawi falls out with Farage.

I suspect, Swale, that the only thing the halfwits you speak of will object to is that Zahawi is a tad ‘swarthy’ for their taste.

Given that recently a Reform councillor said that someone not born in the UK shouldn't be an MP, there is going to be a fair few members who will presumably be questioning Zahawi's recruitment?

There is already a split forming with ex Reform Habib setting up the Advance party, it is uncanny howthe more extreme people are to either the left or right of the political specturm, the less able they seem to be able to act cohesively. I guess thats inevitable the narrower ones views are.

I've seen it with many on the left who believe either Cobyn's shower or The Greens are the answer to Labour's shift rightwards, they don't seem to be able to comprehend that the majority of voters in the UK aren't going to be attracted by a hard left party, even if some policies are to their advantage and that splitting the left vote is just going to make it more likely that a far right party or more likely a coalition of far right parties is likely to gain power as a result.

Nutshell!
I’m sure Corbyn is a decent enough chap and, like Diane Abbott, a good local MP, but in the grown up world of national/global politics he’s a liability and as soon as I heard his and Sultana’s proposals I reached the same conclusion.
