How low we have sunk. To still have that fag-breathed race-baiter bossing our politics. To have left the EU on his xenophobic lies. To have failed so completely to hold him to account and to now be flailing around in his fascist cesspit talking about ‘mass deportations’. A nation-trashing tragedy.
The media were complicit with Brexit and they are complicit now to ensure we stay far away from unity with Europe. These hacks who work for these papers just do as they are told to do by the owners and it's THEIR interests that they are defending. Shame on these so-called journalists.
It’s honestly wild to be reading this as an American. I mean, Trump’s reducing this country to nothing. Could British voters really look at our mess and think, “Yeah, that looks good. Let’s have that here” ?
The same people are funding it here as in the US. The same poisonous narrative being peddled by the likes of Murdoch.
Right. Vance and his meet-up with Farage. Vile stuff.
I wasn't too worried about Farage when he first became an MP because I thought people would see the state Trump made of America would put them off him. How wrong was I?!
Luckily he usually falls out with everyone. Even Banks sidelined him during Brexit. Plus people will hopefully see what a farce the Reform led Councils are.
Sadly. Stupid is as stupid does.
Sadly many will lap it up. Labour need to point out other aspects of Farage’s policies, such as privatising the NHS and praising Truss’s budget.
Incredible isn’t it? We’ve got our own track record of ruinous national isolationism with Brexit. An objective and profound failure based on lies Farage told. And now we have the nightmarish Trumpscape too. And *still*, people are lining up to mainline this toxic populist simplism into their veins.
To many people (and I’m talking Reform Ltd types) all that matters is the headline. Detail is of no interest (sound familiar?) so I’m afraid this is the landscape that we’re now inhabiting. Bugger fact and detail just hit a headline. But this is a level playing field for left, centre and right.
But that is how you get through to people. ‘Get Brexit Done’ etc. It may be drivel but it works. Labour desperately have to improve their comms.
Fundamentally nothing has changed, nobody held their hands up over Brexit, nobody has been held accountable, Labour won’t even mention it never mind push back with a counter narrative. & now it’s all morphed into ppl shouting at hotels. Someone will be killed soon…🔥🇬🇧
Can't help but wonder how different this country would be if that air crash had ended differently.
He has all the imagination of a caravan site, Trump do Monkey do, just because the MAGA right wing love what the Trump is doing and none of them believe it will impact them, same in this country, I see it play out in the town I come from
We must have Murdoch and his poison out of government.
The Times.....broadsheet version of The Mail & The Express. Ideal for those who want to take their racist 'porn' home in a posh wrapper!!
The fact that this is being presented to us as even a possibility - and some voters are actually up for it - shows how goddam stupid we’ve become.
Our media should be all over Farage on this. He is very clearly saying there will no longer be any guarantees: the government will decide what you can and can’t do, and that will change any time it feels like it. That’s total Trumpism. But the media will be silent. That’s the problem.
As are his detention centres, his brutal deportation plan, his insane Ascension Island idea. It’s all grotesque. The country will fail so fast, and all those morons cheering this on, and every media outlet who’s leeched off this populist monster will be complicit.
It could never happen here, they say, as it happens here. Then they realise and it’s far, far too late.
The Mail reading thugs and permanently pissed Tim will cheer this on
Montgomerie?
I know it might be considered childish on my part but I stopped listening to Steve Richards' podcast "Rock and Roll Politics" after Steve declared Montgomerie as "A good friend" Richards - thoroughly decent. Montgomerie - rabid twat.
No, I’m with you on that. I wouldn’t let the man hold my dogs lead for a moment.
That’s the Half Cut Twat. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him with having very obviously had a large and very stiff drink before entering the studio.
2 white men made racist comments to me in the workplace last week. I assume they expected me to join in. Media the Farage foghorn and government to frightened to call him out.
His promises are even emptier than that of the previous government. It beggars belief that any ordinary person thinks that a Reform government would improve their lives.
The media are useless in this country at defending our democracy but look at who owns them ! We have to fight back on social media and people . I can’t believe that the British look at USA and say oh that’s great . Corruption , good for wealthy useless for everyone else . If they do they are stupid
Thoroughly depressing lack of journalistic integrity.
We don’t have journalists, the closest is James OB & he is getting more & more disappointing. *his “both sides-ing” trans people should’ve been a red flag, then there’s the whole Sangita thing (which is basically lied about)
Just change the name and a few dates, and you have who you are dealing with: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oswald_...
It's time for a new beginning starting with the official burial of feudalism and the old rotten corpse of an Empire.

its all coordinated and the media are complicit.
Ofc, our media isn’t an independent public service, it’s a business owned by a handful of non-doms…
Let’s just copy the tRump playbook. And seeing as he’s such a pal of tRump maybe he’s on the list too!
At least, being a smoker, he does always have the back of a fag packet to hand when creating Reform policy.
What next? A promise to deploy the T.A. on London's streets, MEGA hats, renaming the Irish Sea as The English Sea?
Reform would be consistently polling at >40% if he did…
He's a one trick pony needing a migration "crises" to appeal to his base of voters. He used ending the "crises" as a reason to leave the EU and yet 9 years on the "crises" still exists. Parties jumping on this bandwagon are validating him. Call him out they on this he doesn't have much else.
Keir is right on it.
Oh aye any second now. He’s hoping that if he’s vile enough these folks will vote for him…
Didn't Fagash pledge to leave the country if brexit was a failure? He's admitted that it's a failure so why hasn't he deported himself? Permanently.
No such luck
If we all actually lived in a democracy and not in a world dominated by oligarchs, the likes of Farage would never be relevant
Party with 4 MPs makes a ludicrous statement, and it's front page news. The leader of the LibDems literally has to bungee jump from Tower Bridge to get a mention in the news for serious policies on social care.
