I wrote on allegations about Nigel Farage from his school contemporaries. The key test for Reform on racism may be less about Nigel Farage’s schooldays than their 2025 reputation & why 7/10 ethnic minority Britons currently feel that Reform fail on racism

How Farage fails the racism test
Would a person from an ethnic minority trust Nigel Farage in power? So long as the answer remains “no”, Farage and the Reform party are unfit for office

Today the Government had the opportunity to end the cost of living crisis, get Britain growing again and repair the £90bn Brexit black hole - by fixing our trade with Europe.

It didn't.

I actually really don't think it much matters that Farage was a racist idiot at school, really. What matters is how he a) reflects on that behaviour now, and b) what he's learned and c) done in the 40 years since.

And, well... a) Badly, b) Nothing and c) Been a fascist-enabling spiv.

Headline on The World at One just now:

"Sir Keir Starmer has denied putting the Labour Party before the country by ending the two-child benefit cap".

Can we please go back to reporting the actual news, not someone's partisan take on it?

Of course the civil service ballooned after Brexit to manage the red tape created by Brexit #BBCQT

He's complaining about an effect caused by his own Conservative government 🤷‍♂️

Yes, govt bent to pressure from MPs over the benefit cap.

That's how parliamentary democracy works - and why it's a good thing.

It means a leader has to carry a wider movement with them. There's a counter-pressure to the strategists in No. 10.

It matters that we elect a Parliament, not just a PM.

Alarms are going off in Reform UK HQ.

First their leader is embroiled in a racism row.

Secondly their member growth has stalled.

Thirdly they’ve polled lowest since April.

Now migration has fallen to its lowest levels since the pandemic.

Look, this French publication correctly labels Farage as the leader of a far right party (even if it’s technically a limited company).

Why does the British mainstream media seem to have a different definition?
He is simply called ‘the leader of Reform UK’, which makes him sound innocuous.

Hmmm yes now you mention it.. feels like MSM have an agenda with the vigour they pursue any politician who isn’t reform, for a perceived transgression & bury actual transgressions by reform..
