Mr Robert Bloom has resigned as a Councillor, having been elected for the Reform Party, after his sustained virulent racist tirades shouting the n-word at his black neighbours were revealed www.northantstelegraph.co.uk/news/people/...
Farage is a popinjay. Reform has 4 MPs and has won some councils (turnouts usually under 30%). It's funded by power industries and foreign capital and the media, promotes their 'alternative truths'. No-one in power is countering the rubbish they spout, even the government.
I don't want thousands of immigrants shipped out. I want them to have due process and if accepted, I want them to stay to help this country to thrive as immigrants have done throughout centuries. The proposals by Farage are impractical and ill thought through anyway.

Labour seem to be blind to the fact that those who vote Reform will never vote Labour. They woo the indifferent while their former voters are gathering as Lib Dem or Green supporters and are not going to return to an anti socialist party which canât cope with diversity.
Why? I donât want to join a an increasingly right wing party that rejects diversity within its ranks and reneges on social commitments. Nor one that tries to mirror right wing demands. Lib Demâs and Greens are the growing threat to Labour, not Reform.
