How is Nigel at predicting the future in the UK?

"Burnham has inherited a Labour Party that is moving radically to the Left,national borrowing has gone out of control". No mandate Burnham , Nigel calls for a General Election.

Nigel on Burnham : "Net Zero, rich should pay more tax, EU Supporter , The most left wing PM for 80 yrs,

It will be Starmer but even worse".

Good. Makes it easier for many voters to vote anone other than Labour.

My understanding is that people know Burnham is left wing but they elected him anyway. This might mean they want someone who cares about the poor and old and has proven his dedication to greater Manchester rather that someone who never shows his face in his constituency or Parliament.

Doubting that the UK has the stomach for closer EU ties, Farage is hinting at a major Reform push to put a proper Brexit back at front and center.

"Now, only Reform can take back control of our country and deliver a proper Brexit".

You are an American, but have opened multiple threads on British politics. Fine to provide comment, but you usually don't.

Very strange.

If you are a former British citizen ( someone who swore allegiance to a foreign power), isn't it time you let go, and properly integrated like other immigrants?

Re UK/ EU relations: I suggest that you do a bit more research. Current polling indicates that a majority of Brits support rejoining the EU and a bigger majority support closer ties.

Perhaps you could explain to me what a 'proper' Brexit looks like? A reduction in legal immigration? How will this be accomplished without damaging the economy? Reduce regulation? So reduce workers rights, consumer protection, food and safety standards, etc?

Anyway, over to you. I look forward to your explanation.

It's just a troll looking to boost it's standings amongst the other MAGAs.

Poor old Nige. You got hammered in Makerfield and when you put your head above the parapet, the media kept on about the £5 million you were given 'for security'.

I beat him to it .

Put a curse on Farage for sending the

Brexit pound into the dustbin about a

decade ago !

No Nigel, only with Restore there is a spark of hope for GB.

My bladder's full I hear there is a grave that needs visiting and a neck for the follow on ordure. I shall try my best to do both.
