“I see that our plucky anti-Establishment man of the people firebrand is, to the surprise of nobody whatsoever, at the world’s biggest Establishment corporate toss off event today”.
Farage is part of the Establishment and always has been.
Now that Reform is becoming a repository for failed Conservative politicians such as Zahawi and Jenrick, I expect to see it decline in the polls. Farage’s closeness to Trump isn’t exactly an electoral asset at the moment either.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see Farage step aside shortly after the next election, no matter what happens. There are rumours about his health. It looks to me as if Jenrick has been brought in on a promise to take over the leadership. And then the Establishment takeover of Reform will be fully complete.
As an aside, one example of Farage’s fake “man of the people” image which has always bugged me is his photo opportunities with a pint in hand. Usually of something rubbish like Greene King IPA. I have been told by someone who knows him that he actually prefers wine and seldom drinks beer. The pint is merely a prop, like Harold Wilson’s pipe.
There no chance he’s stepping aside unless there’s a huge downturn in support , and let’s be honest where do the right to to vote … Farage will never critize Trump , he’s a lapdog , one of many reason why the imbecile can’t be PM
I thought he did, over the British soldiers that was killed in Afghanistan.
You've got to accentuate the positive.
Eliminate the negative.
Latch on to the affirmative.
Don't mess with mister in between.From instagram…
“Still thinking about voting Reform?
Because they’re on your side… right? 🤔Consider this…
Nigel Farage spent this week in Davos, hosted and paid for by the $10bn family trust of an Iranian-born billionaire.So while he tells you he’s there smashing the “cosy consensus of global elites…
He’s in Davos.
With the elites.
Champagne in hand. 🍾😂Meanwhile, Reform keeps taking multi-million pound donations from the very people he says he opposes”.
And welcoming ex Tory failures by the dozen , Reform is a cheap Tory paint job , don’t look to closely you’ll see all the flaws
The problem is that the mainstream media don’t report stories like the above. The BBC has been platforming Farage for years, while the Sun, Mail and Telegraph have jumped on the Reform bandwagon after the Tories’ annihilation at the 2024 general election.
The only hope is that the main stream media will see Farage as a Trump mouthpiece and stop supporting him now that the ginger idiot and his cronies have had the temerity to call our brave soldiers cowards

Not the first time I’ve heard that. If he’s going to pretend to drink beer he could at least support one of the many small independent breweries in this country. It’s one thing we do very well. It may not be to everyone’s taste but real ale is like no other beer I have had anywhere.
Ultimately, I do wonder if he actually wants the job. Whatever anyone says he is a grifter and regardless of whether or not you’re any good at it, PM is a full time job. There is no opportunity for lucrative side gigs as there is when you’re MP for a small inconsequential seaside constituency. But Reform is nothing without Farage, it is a cult like MAGA in the USA. It needs him on board to stand any chance.
Let’s not forget this…
“The bravest person I have ever met,” Farage praises Trump at Arizona rally“President Donald Trump invited Brexit Party founder Nigel Farage on stage during a campaign rally in Goodyear, Arizona, on Wednesday evening, introducing him as “one of the most powerful men in Europe”.
Mr Farage said of Mr Trump: “This is the single most resilient and bravest person I have ever met in my life.”“The BBC has been platforming Farage for years”.
You don’t seriously believe the BBC is stuffed full of Reform activists, do you?
Who said “Reform activists”? 🤷♂️
Look at the number of times he has been on Question Time and the amount of general air time he has been given.
Facts are facts.
He has been an MEP, is now an MP and has been leader of a political movement which got something like 15% of the vote as far back as 2015.
Even though I don’t like him much, he has more entitlement to be on “Question Time” than some of the people on the panel each week.
No one watches “Question Time” anymore anyway.
“a political movement which got something like 15% of the vote as far back as 2015.”
UKIP won 12.6% of the vote share at the 2015 general election.
Interesting that you use the words “political movement” to describe the various parties which Farage has led. That is exactly what it is: a movement to enable both closet and open racists and xenophobes.
I used the term because Farage has not always been in Reform. He was leader of UKIP, which then became the Brexit Party and now seems to have settled on the Reform moniker.
