Restore is Rupert Lowe and yes a more extreme version of Reform, they have very little chance of winning an election and their basic stance is too many immigrants we need mass deportations. 
 

Reform in trying to become a more realistic party to be elected have watered down some of their rhetoric which actually alienates some  of the more right wing Reform voters. Reform distance themselves from Tommy, Tommy supports Rupert Lowe. The problem for Reform is that the segment of people who would vote them is being eroded by there being a more extreme option. (Just another public school city boy -although went to Uni in Reading !) 

Reminds me of when Labour had Militant albeit within the party, They end up disrupting  your supporters rather adding any extra voters.

Tice and Yusuf have been made to look daft by not being able to explain cancelling the Equality Act and scrapping  minimum wage for young workers. Yusuf was asked which segments would no longer be protected, he had no answer. Tice was asked would young people on minimum wage get a wage cut, he just talked crap. 
 

You can see why the bookies are reconsidering the odds, but god knows how Labour are favourites. 

Hopefully the tories can get their act together in the next 3 years

indeed, it'd be great if they could sort themselves out, they've so much work to do though, I do fear we're in for a hung Parliament next time, and some sort of weird alliances will be called. When push comes to shove, I'd still expect Tory and Labour to be the two largest parties, but Reform will no doubt make some significant in roads and run them close

Reform have a number of issues that they are trying to tackle but in doing so it highlights the issues;

1. One man band - so they are recruiting lots of failed Tories. Still waiting for this big Labour defector they promised. The Tories they recruit piss off the people who want something different and they have been called to shit by Yusuf at some point. They launched the new team at a press conference this week. The press asked 24 questions - Nigel answered them all. 

2. Policies other than immigration - Scrap the Equality Act - But can not say which bits they will keep, if you think that means women, disabled, gays, ethnics etc etc could all be affected. All to protect young white males. But next policy is to scrap minimum wage for young people. Already not standing up to scrutiny.

3. Restore - Will chip away at their support, again they are all slagging Rupert Lowe off so little chance of them working together. Tommy supports Restore , again chips away at their support.

4. Farage love in with Trump - We sack an Ambassador, Andrew loses his title, Trump has gangs taking folk off the street that might be immigrants, slag’s off our troops - For the first time the Reform lot go silent. Add in the live in for Putin, it is a dodgy area for NF 

 

Their biggest asset is the other parties look equally clueless, more Labour infighting seems inevitable, who are the Tories ? The Greens flimsy as anything, Liberals - same old same old. If there was a GE tomorrow no idea who I would for. 

Should add their idea of setting up a shadow cabinet seems like a daft idea according to some. There is always a Tweet.

We'll be coming down the the road. Or something.

Lee Anderson really is a horrible, thick as fuck mongoloid. I bet even Reform "supporters" think he's a dick, and that's saying something

It was regularly spoken about when I was in, obviously it never happened. I understand the reasoning behind it but come on I’m sure some money could be saved elsewhere. Anyway there’s still plenty of para trained marines available is there’s ever a need to go jumping into battle again.

But Reform did take the government to court, the government decided to settle before the hearing

I am fully aware of that my friend. Someone wants to engage in pedantry (not you). The net result was a win for all parties except Labour (and, it seems, the Conservatives here and there).

Another service provided by the big man.

He handled it brilliantly. 'Humiliates'? She's a nasty piece of work, one of ours or not.

They can all go back and find millions of similar issues where stuff has been said in the political maelstrom which is later brushed off as part of the hurly burly of everyday politics.

He stayed calm, cool and collected (as he always seems to) and came out on top for my money. She's just another nasty BBC News leftist.

Be afraid. All this chaff being thrown about by the 'anti's' will be put to bed on 7th May.

You mean she’s a great journalist doing her job holding a politician to account. That’s normal in a democracy. She’s the same for lefties or righties. But you know that.

No doubt you’d prefer something like Fox News or North Korean TV, where sycophantic broadcasters are instructed by the channel owners to lob soft questions to loopy politicians (who they themselves are bankrolling for personal financial gain).

Will we have a new government? Or just a few more councils being run like Kent where Reform have broken their pledges within the first few months?

And please do let us know how you personally will be affected.

Lancashire county council has a Reform majority and is a mess but not as bad as others in the country as there are still a good number of councillors who know what they are doing from the Tories and Labour.

Don't know what you mean, milk and honey all the way since Reform got in down here.

Why bother with all the rigmarole?

Just get like minded politicians asking each other the questions like Geebeebies do.
