  Horrible person joins other horrible people in party with horrible policies.

  I think they’re building up to the big one. It’ll be Truss next.

    Are even Reform voters dumb enough to see that happen and think it’s a good thing? I mean, surely taking the piss out of Lettuce Liz is just about the only thing everyone in this country can agree on?

      Fair point.

      Maybe not Liz then. Maybe Priti Patel.

    I’ll bite. I’m excited for your response.

    Which Reform policy is a Putin policy?

      So many to choose from! How about building more gas turbine power stations (thereby increasing demand for gas, pushing the global price up and benefitting Gazprom even if they don’t buy directly from them), cutting stamp duty on the biggest properties (including most of those bought by Russian oligarchs) and pulling out of the European Defence Fund? All straight from the last Reform manifesto and I’d bet Putin would be in favour of those, wouldn’t you?

      If you don’t like those, there’s stuff like cancelling our human rights, repealing the Equalities Act and “scrapping” the BBC.

      I suspect Reform would also open the floodgates to more Russian government funding, Nathan Gill style and otherwise, but they’re not daft enough to put that in their manifesto.

      Maybe you should ask which Reform policies would Putin oppose? There’s some he probably wouldn’t care about either way, but oppose?

      Agree…

      Farage and pals are totally hanging out of Putin’s arse and a lot of what they do and say will no doubt make him happy, especially when it comes to support for Ukraine.

      Not sure which of their policies are the same as Putins though

  How can reform continue to call themselves the "plucky up starts from outside the establishment when they’re entirely peopled by the establishment?

    How can they even call themselves Reform when they’re full of people responsible for the current form.
