Fortunately there won't be a General Election until 2029, so plenty of time for Labour to regroup and Reform to be found out.

 

Farage doesn't have a hope of ever being PM.

Also, Local Elections and the occasional by-election are when voters decide to vote against the ruling party just to register their disappointment in the government. Then, come the General Election they normally return to their normal party vote.

If Farage can't be bothered to meet his constituents in Clacton he is hardly likely to become PM. 

I used to watch him speak while in the EU. Just scoffing but with no ideas.

Cameron, May, Johnson, Sunak Truss and now Starmer all have failed to even try and stop tens of thousands mainly male Muslims entering the country illegally

 

Reform will

 

It can be done, as Trump has shown.

Everyone knows (that buyer's remorse follows on these victories), but the political pendulum is slowly lurching RIGHT (see US, Germany, Italy, Hungary, Austria) but a right that used to be solid left!!  (See England.)

Not a fan of Farage , brilliant orator when explaining things simply but when he gets close  to power everything seems to fall apart ???

 

Yeah, he smokes too much (listen to his gravelly voice) and downs too many pints while seeming to pi$$ himself laughing in the pub.  Reminds me of Kamala Harris (the cackler). 

 

But if Reform can find themselves a credible leader, they will be the official opposition in 2029....
