Misogynists - such relaxed and happy people. So comfortable in their gossamer thin skins. So happy with their life's work and all they never achieved.

If this greedy and ridiculous man were to become Prime Minister, he'd be responsible for our security, safety, our NHS, our economy, and the welfare of our children.

Meanwhile he can't be bothered to do even basic checks on the Cameos that rake in £141,000 for him

What kind of person endures 14 yrs of Tory incompetence & corruption, votes to oust them, & is then hoodwinked by a master grifter to vote the very worst of them back in again for more of the same.
It’d be lunacy on a grand scale.
Turquoise Tories.
Careful what you wish for.

All the 3rd rate twats completely lacking in ability join Reform because it's the only party that'll take them or where they think they can progess. Proves it's all about their egos & absolutely nothing to do w serving the country. Their views will fluctuate according to the highest bidder

The decent Tories were culled in 2019.
The indecent ones are defecting to Farage.
I wonder who or what will be left by 2029.

The only questio about 'defectors' to Farage is: "Were they lying before or are they lying now?"
The answer, invariably, is "Both".

Best outcome is Farage says no + Bobby J is forced to set up yet another "would you like some racism with that?" party causing further fragmentation on the right.

Farage couldn’t get into the Tory party so started his own knowing the shit from the Tory sewer would eventually seep into his party(LTD COMPANY)
He is a magnet for the worst in the world.
That includes his voters🤮

“It seems unlikely not to have occurred to [Farage] that the reason he is so popular… is that so many people have had enough not just of people like Zahawi, but in this case, people who literally are Zahawi”

Here’s to hoping their piss-taking opportunism does for them both.

(Times sketch)
Extract: Farage's one-man band adds a disgraced banjo Tom Peck Political Sketch the sketch writers keep saying we're a one-man band," " said Nigel Farage, 48 hours after some idiot sketch writer in The Times had called Reform UK a one-man band. The sketch writers clearly needed to be taught a lesson but what happened next was surely overkill, when out on to the stage and back into the political big time strode Nadhim Zahawi. How would we describe Reform UK now? What part of the one-man band is the party's newest defector? Is there even such a thing as a discredited mouth organ? A disgraced banjo? There was no time to think about that. First there was a pre-roll video of Zahawi, a stirring montage biography of the kind you used to see on the X Factor judges' houses episode, immediately before a painter and decorator from Croydon murders a Michael Buble cover next to Simon Cowell's swimming pool. "l've gone from councillor to chancellor of the exchequer," Zahawi said, looking beyond the camera and into the middle distance, where a brighter future may theoretically lie. Zahawi is extremely proud of his time as chancellor of the exchequer, which lasted exactly two months and was mainly spent paying his own tax bills to HMRC. "Westminster watchers", , as Zahawi called us, may recall the very first thing he did as chancellor, which was to get hold of a piece of HM Treasury notepaper and use it to write a letter to Boris Johnson, who had appointed him fully 48 hours before, to tell him to resign. "Britain is drinking in the last chance saloon," said Zahawi, over soft string music, "and it really does need Nigel Farage as prime minister." In the questions at the end, someone had the temerity to bring up a social media post, written by Zahawi in 2015, in which he had said of his new best mate: "I would be frightened to live in a country run by you." Zahawi let out a little smile. "If I thought this man next to me had an issue, in any way, with people from my background, I wouldn't be sitting next to him," he said, and then he reached over and placed a loving hand on Nigel's elbow. Smiles can say a lot. This one specifically seemed to be saying, "Come on, guys, if you actually believe a word I say, we're not going to get very far, are we?" Which was just as well, because no one does. As the press conference wore on, Farage did not seem his usual ebullient self. Smiles were forced. Brows were creased. Farage is as canny as they come. It seems unlikely not to have occurred to him that the reason he is so popular, the one reason that towers above all others, is that so many people have had enough not just of people like Zahawi, but in this case, people who literally are Zahawi. Zahawi seemed to think people would be "shocked" to see him defecting to Reform. People were shocked, but not quite for the reasons he thinks. That Zahawi decided to ask Farage out is no surprise at all. What is more surprising is that Farage said yes. The Tory stampede to Reform is now very much in full swing. At some point, Farage will surely have to say no to someone. He must have a limit. It's a remarkable thing to say, but at the moment Farage can't seem to find the bar.

"Fudge (Farage’s nickname) [was] nothing but a racist, antisemitic, obnoxious bully who would get the early train so he could polish his CCF boots before first bell; that’s about it. His response to the recent accounts of him at Dulwich doesn’t really make me feel he’s changed that much."

Nigel Farage thinks Nadhim Zahawi has no principles and Nadhim Zahawi thinks Nigel Farage makes racist comments. Why are they suddenly pals?

We all talk about how evil and soulless Kristi Noem is. I talk about that fact pretty frequently myself.

I don't think we talk enough about how stupid Kristi Noem is.

Kristi Noem is a window-licking imbecile.

I believe she goes to the airport just to clap when planes land.
