Not only does Farage want more of the same, but it he's now recruiting the actual failed, discredited Tories who delivered austerity in the first place!

Applying the changes they claim in the chart to the actual data shows the following as the resultant vote shares - with Labour ahead of Reform.

A classic example of the Stalinist, Satanic left's inability to understand context. Of course I must not call a by-election. To do so would be a colossal distraction from my work for Mr Farage and his Reform Party. Against the express will of the people. A self-indulgent waste of time.
Nigel Farage described it as dishonourable for an MP to defect without triggering a by-election.

Where are the poppy patriots? Why are they completely silent on this grotesque insult to our armed forces and specifically the 2,000 UK service and civilian personnel who were injured and the 457 who died in Afghanistan?

The Hillsborough Law will force public bodies to tell the truth after disasters: a legal duty of candour, new offences for cover-ups, and equal legal funding for families vs the state. This law making its way through Parliament has far reaching impact and deserves attention. Summary below

Nadim Zahawi arrived in the UK from Iraq as a child refugee. His family claimed asylum once they were here. Today he has joined Reform who will stop all in country asylum applications. Under his new party, his own family fleeing persecution would be immediately deported.
