This. And the point is not so much to peel off his existing fans and voters, but to put off potential new ones. Sanitizing and mainstreaming his toxic shit makes it to easy for him to be a protest vote or a "ah well fukkit everyone else is shite so let's give him a go" vote
All the supposedly progressive people saying 'Nigel Farage's racism doesn't matter. His fans love it'.
It matters whether the leader of the party leading all the opinion polls is an outright racist. It matters if he called black people 'wogs' and said 'gas them' to Jews. Not everything is a game

DOGE was Elon Musk’s grand experiment in running our government like one of his companies: big promises, reckless cuts, and real people left hurting.
Now it’s been quietly shut down eight months early because it never came close to delivering the savings he bragged about.

I’m just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her, Charlie Brown.
