blame terrible vetting (again) or he didn't care about his close colleague, the potential Welsh Reform leader, being a Russian asset.

And what's worse, I don't think Westminster care. If Wales go Reform and fail terribly then it is good for every other politician in the UK ahead of the GE.

He'll say that they have great people to work for Reform Wales and that they have great plans.
But he can't name anything specific, they've put no planning in at all showing how little they care.
The only person they had was being bribed by Russia!
Farage either didn't know this - incompetent or

Reform in Wales would be a disaster.

They have no policies or knowledge, when asked Farage mentioned reopening coal mines and steel works and starting fracking. Stereotypical rich man asset stripping the poorer country.

He just wants to use Wales - he does not care about Wales or anyone in it.

He doesn't know about Wales, he doesn't care about Wales he wants to use Wales.
He only cares about winning and the money and fame he can personally gain.
He would destroy us through incompetence and apathy, just look at every Reform council to date. All failures, but idiots like him 'cos boats'

Nigel Farage says Reform UK will “differ from status quo” in Wales but it’s too early to tell you how.

It’s a re-run of their local elections.

Reform run councils have found little savings and are considering raising taxes the max they can…

Trump was never fit to be President, it's clear he's not well and declining.
I think that's the way out even for MAGA.
Suggest to them that Trump is being manipulated/used by people (Miller etc) and that's why everything's crap they'll turn against everyone but Trump but have to admit he's unfit.

Private Eye offers up an excellently scornful commentary on the relentless polling. It’s become ridiculous and has oversimplified our politics to dangerous levels of stupid and irresponsible.

SHOCK POLL:
NIGEL FARAGE WILL BE PM TOMORROW
IN an amazing poll conducted
by The Pointless Polling Company, it was revealed that voters' intentions
may well change over the next three and a half years and at present it's 100 percent impossible to guess what the next government might look like.
However, 99 percent of journalists
agree that it would be much more fun if we had an election tomorrow and everybody resigned and everything was chaos and Farage had a go at being PM, just for the hell of it, because it was so much fun when
Brexit happened and then the government kept falling every five minutes and we could write endless pieces about (cont. p94)

Isn't saying you have 12 seconds jobs an oxymoron?

Also he had 9 last time I checked so he's got 3 more since he became an MP.

I wonder (facetiously) how many work hours he dedicates to his constituents in Clacton.

Good to see the Conservative Party committed to keeping the deficit down by *checks notes* spending £2 billion giving tax breaks for private education, creating a massive new deportation force and pledging to maintain pensioner benefits.

They're just not getting it are they?
You can't ignore or gaslight your way out of your own record.
Until they accept that and stop trying to justify it and the pain they caused so people and hopefully apologise for it then how can they ever be trusted to have learnt from it?

It's 'I know you are but what am I?' childishness constantly with this lot.
Always deflection and accusations and exaggerated outrage.
Never any actual answers or sense.

Things Farage won’t answer:

1. Why did he lie about buying a house in Clacton?

2. What did he know about Welsh Reform Leader Nathan Gill’s Russian Bribes?

3. Why did he lie about meeting the Russian Ambassador?

4. Why is his flagship council Kent raising taxes and cutting services?

Also, she couldn't give a flying fig what anyone thinks of her. Not what she does, says, where she goes, what she wears...
She is not doing it for approval, she's doing it because she believes it's the right thing to do.

Reform ladies and gentlemen. Promise the world, full of popular one liners and 'common sense'. But, oh look, reality is complex, requires experts, knowledge, and experience. Reform have none of that.
They are useless and ultimately they will cost their constituencies more for their lack of ability
