“How did such an inept stupid individual get so high up in politics”.
He isn’t high up, really.
Farage has shown in the past that he doesn’t particularly like sharing the limelight, so it will be interesting to see how long the love-in with Jenrick and Braverman lasts.
Meanwhile in the by-election news, Labour are back into 5/2 after an opinion poll in the constituency showed Reform on 36%, Labour on 33% and the Greens way behind on 21%. However, only 140 people were asked, which doesn’t seem like a large sample size.
For what it is worth, when the same people were asked to state their preference if Burnham had been a candidate, Labour’s share rose to 49%.
If you asked the average Joe in the street he’d be a name mentioned it you talked about Reform , Nigel won’t be able to trust either new recruit , I believe it’ll bite him on the arse in the end

I don’t know why the rest of us bother sometimes, all Labour and the Tories are interested in is fruitlessly chasing the Reform vote. It is both pathetic and stupid. Absolutely clueless.
An example of why the true left dislike this government:
it always makes me laugh when the RWNJ element describe Starmer’s government as “socialists”: they are anything but.
I was going to mention the environment. As anyone who watches the news will know, it’s been unusually stormy here in the westcountry. There was little respite between the two most recent storms and there’s another rain warning tomorrow, with the ground already saturated of course.
For obvious reasons places on the coast have been particularly affected so of course everyone is demanding more investment in flood defences etc. Perfectly reasonable but who is going to pay for it? And try suggesting that everyone should try polluting the environment a bit less and you get accused of being a net zero zealot.
Labour has been accused of jeaporsiding the future of farming through taxes. Environmental breakdown will do more damage to farming than any government could ever dream of but they’re queuing up to vote for parties that will only make it worse.
28/08/2025 – We desperately need rain or this could be disastrous for the farmers.
28/01/2026 – More unwanted rain on the way.
The UK is weak because it has always been told to do by the USA. Farage exposes that weakness and if he is elected we will end up a police state (or should I say an ICE state) like the USA As Carney says, ‘we are the menu’. Hopefully with Starmer saying he is not taking sides beteen the USA and China we can achieve better relations with the latter country to our benefit.
Farage calling us weak just now , if he got in Trump would have the NHS in a year and we’d have the dollar as currency … We can’t have Farage as trumps lap dog

Re the West Country. I believe the Eden Project is losing funding, something that the EU used to provide ( and didn’t the EU pay towards it’s construction, too?).
We need to get the message out there how much trouble we would be in if we elected Farage as PM. We would have ICE agents harassing everyone who was not white. We can only hope Trump will be gone before our next general election.
Visa free travel to China for 30 days nice one Kier, thats the same as Europe. But there has been a 7 day visa free option for a few years, its just one has to stay in the same area and exit to a different location from ones initial departure airport. So something like London to Beijing stay x days then to Hong Kong and return to London.
But its great moving forward, fantastic place to visit, just mind the weather in the summer its hot and humid.Agreed Landafar. I’ve taken advantage of both the visa free transit to a third country and been through the not too arduous but definitely time consuming and costly visa proces (one trip to London to apply, another to pick up).
I’d encourage anyone with the means to take advantage of the visa free travel whilst you can and see something of the place for yourself, make your own mind up.
Hong Kong and Taiwan are also magnificent places, wasn’t so enamoured with Macau but it’s an easy trip from HK, that bridge is quite something.
Meanwhile Farage and Reform continue to put forward for election the dregs of Political society …

Definitely agree to go and make your own mind up, BBC have a hate relationship with China.
Macau is so different now since my first visit, when there were no mega casinos. But second time the new casinos changed it, takes more money than Vegas I believe.
My son went to Macau a few years back for boxing Pacquiao v rios,loved it except for the ferry journey from mainland,so got the helicopter back
