If I were a political analyst, I might interpret this as sign of strategic desperation from both Reform UK and the Conservative Party, revealing internal weakness and ideological convergence on the right. Albeit Reform so far managed to recruit the least able, cites Gullis et al.

When Boris Johnson was under investigation for misleading Parliament about lockdown parties, Dorries claimed the inquiry was a “witch hunt” and that Johnson was being “hounded out by a kangaroo court, insisting he had not knowingly misled Parliament, despite evidence to the contrary and fines.

It's all bad but hadn't seen the bit where Farage says:
"The European Union is the prototype for the New World Order."
That is a seriously, deeply problematic term that taps into Illuminati and antisemitic conspiracy theories.
How the fuck did this man direct the course of our politics?

Farage says Reform UK are ready to fix Broken Britain.
After sliding down the polls since Nathan Gill sold Britain to Putin for £40k, Farage says he’s grown out of his racism, while leading the party that incited Farage riots but still in bed with Swastika Musk.

Now he’s under scrutiny and suddenly panicking about losing jury trials.
Turns out when your freedom’s at risk, fair trials and checks on state power start to matter.
