They'll rebrand before the next election and be back again as long as Tice etc keep funding them. Quote

I would be amazed if Farage would ever want to leader, he has built himself a real niche of power as the disruptor. Other than Rishi why would anyone with massive wealth or in Farages instance massive earnings potential want the job ? Farage will earn more a year winding people up than he would as PM. Quote
kent_white Posted June 17, 2024 Posted June 17, 2024 The thing is with Farage. Has he ever actually run something? He's good at shouting from the sidelines - but we can all do that. Has he got a track record of managing anything? Quote

That's why I think Starmer is a good bet at the moment. We just need someone boring, competent and with a decent track record of managing things. Quote

We just need someone boring, competent and with a decent track record of managing things. Exactly. Politics should be boring, its all about the boring details that get stuff actually done in the best interests of the country. Not soundbites, three word slogans or anything else based on bullshit They took the public for fools and have been found out. The gullible will do the same with reform. Quote
Not in Crawley Posted June 17, 2024 Posted June 17, 2024 Very impressed with the interview with Bridget Phillipson on Leading this week. Quote
BobyBrno Posted June 17, 2024 Posted June 17, 2024 This is the nearest we’ll get to the BBC saying it’s nonsense. Labour claim that Tories would cost homeowners £4,800 fact-checked https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cydd08l3y4mo Quote

Anyway, with regards to my comment about the mortgage nonsense, does it not concern you that the party who will form our next government come out with crap like that when they are so far ahead in the polls? It should. Quote

Maybe on here it is. Quote

I’d be more concerned about what they say about Labour than a party who may end up with a handful of MP’s. https://ifs.org.uk/articles/labour-party-manifesto-initial-response Quote
