Foxy, time for a bit of lateral, if we assume all politicians are of the same ilk, we can forget the personalities (and shortcomings) of the folks and just vote on the policy’s

There will be few to choose from at the next election Spitty. Either vote for Conservative, who will undo all the work that labour put in over the last five years with wild promises, or vote Labour for more of the same. Or waste yer vote on the Greens or Lib Dems, who might just be allowed to have a couple of MP’s seated in parliament just to show that it’s all above board.
You can fool some of the people all of the time………

And what a success Whitehall and Count Binface had at Clacton!
I still think Binface is quite fanciable. Without his bin and stuff obviously.
I’m not a fan of Cummins, but in this instance, he is spot on. IMO almost everyone in Whitehall and beyond is shit scared of what Reform will do to their comfortable lax way of working and collaborating with old school MP’s etc.

Gullible in believing what Farage has confirmed to be correct? The only thing Farage is disputing is that he should have declared the £5m prior to standing as an MP. He accepts all the rest - so what am I or anyone else being gullible about?

Seems to me that whenever “they” try to muddy Farage’s name, irrespective of whether it’s deserved or not, they’re shooting themselves in the foot.
“They” can’t seem to get their heads around that it’s the messages that reform are emitting that are popular, seemingly increasingly so. Until the issues are addressed properly, then Farage/reform etc won’t go away.

So the 335 MPs new to the role, new to Westminster (more than half the 650) are old school MPs now?
So the 11 long sitting tory MPs who defected to Reform are not old school anymore?
So Reform UK that is now primarily ex-tories is going to shake up a lax way of working?
So nearly everyone in Whitehall is the establishment? Yet you can only name one and he is no longer is in Whitehall?
And I get called gullible? Whereas some who listen to the ‘establishment’ guff from Reform and accept it hook line and sinker are not?

And alongside the muddying, Farage’s popularity grows :yes:

No.
I wish it could grow back on me … I’m really disappointed with the insincerity of the guy. He’s no better than the rest.
Haven’t two of his senior Reform sidekicks resigned today in some new funding scandal?

If so, then Reform is showing that it can emulate the big parties with consummate ease. As such, they are fit for government.

Does that mean they are also a strong contender for being the establishment as well?

So people lose faith in Farage but not the two shysters who secretly infiltrated private conversations. Who did they think they were? Woodward and Bernstein?
I call it an invasion of privacy, and people who think this is acceptable journalism want their heads examined.
Don’t you realise that it could happen to you, and probably does. That conversation with friends and family around the fire on a cosy winters night is probably being hacked and will be used against you in the future.
Ever wondered why some adverts on the internet seem coincidental when you only mentioned it to family in your front room.
That Alexa sitting on your mantlepiece, the smart telly in the corner, even the robotic hoover going about it’s business from room to room.
Strange how none of the main two parties get put under a spotlight like Farage and Reform has.

There’s a whiff of entrapment about it.

That could be construed as entrapment
Entrapment in the UK, particularly by private individuals, is not recognized as a legal defence. While private citizens may engage in activities that could be seen as entrapment, such as inciting someone to commit a crime, the law generally holds that a criminal act remains an offense regardless of how it was instigated, and such actions can lead to legal consequences for the individual who incited the crime.
If Reform had gone ahead and accepted money at the behest of the cash facilitators, then IMO that would have been blatant entrapment. Money was not accepted, but IMO that whole sting operation should be the subject of a police investigation
