One of the points I made is that Reform claims to be the party of the "man and woman in the street". But in reality, it is run by millionaires on behalf of billionaires.

You can listen to the, ahem, robust exchange of views I had with Richard Tice of Reform UK and others on Any Questions? here: www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Reform have no proper electoral manifesto do they so mostly it’s just racist vibes

Why does Tice continue to get away with the “we have to adapt” line. Mass teleases of CO2 causes Ocean acidification, deoxygenated water and disruption to the biosphere and led to past mass extinctions. When is someone going to ask how we adapt to these. www.bas.ac.uk/data/our-dat...

Isn’t this a trend. Also happening in #ausppol.

I’ve only now been able to listen to the recording George. How you keep yourself from insulting calling out or even custard pie Brexit People I don’t know. They are either all incompetent or liars or maybe both.

Unfortunately the “men” and “women” in your streets are xenophobic bigots, so they will support the Farage and Tommy Robinsons of this world because they’re also ignorant and are happy to remain so living off a diet of Rupert Murdoch media!

What is so maddening is that this has all happened before...I remember as a schoolboy listening to my grandfather, a man born and raised amongst generations of Welsh miners, eulogising Margaret Thatcher, i didnt understand it then, I do now. Its the politics of feelings and delivery is moot.

The man and woman on the street are not qualified to vote. Not after 20 years of listening to Daiy Mail / Express / Telegraph, Sun , Fiona fucking Bruce and John Humphries

Dave M @daveryan96.bsky.social · 31/05/2026

Listened to most of this earlier. How, how, how is Tice allowed to spread blatant misinformation with such ease? He's wrong, factually, so often, and yet keeps getting platformed.

Ian Tasker @tasker40.bsky.social · 01/06/2026

We know but try telling that to potential Reform voters. The message isn't cutting through.

Sam Coleridge @samcoleridge.bsky.social · 31/05/2026

Excellent. What a blustering, bullying arsehole Tice is. Unfortunately, so are a percentage of our fellow citizens.

johnduncan2387.bsky.social @johnduncan2387.bsky.social · 01/06/2026

Yes. Of course Farage, Tice and Lowe’s appeal to the common man is doubtless boosted by the fact they all went to top-tier public schools.

Same with One Nation in Australia. One Nation is being supported by Gina Rinehart, Australia's richest woman.

Reform is the party of the kind of mainly white man in the street who abuses non-white people in the street while waving a Union Jack or flag of St George. In my day they called themselves the National Front but weren't so fascistic or lauded by the media

timminsj.bsky.social @timminsj.bsky.social · 31/05/2026

Sadly the (and it is mainly) man in the street sees Farage as a pint drinking cap wearing bloke who "tells it as it is". Totally unaware that he prefers expensive foreign and I beleive expensive cigars that probably cost many who vote for him a weeks pay.

Ben Sowton @bensowton.bsky.social · 31/05/2026

I actually don’t know how you do it George. You certainly got way more support than anyone else judging by the audience response. Hamid i thought was good. But the lies from Tice. Fracking for gods sake. USA being our biggest trade partner. It’s lie after lie but so many WANT to believe it

Ben Sowton @bensowton.bsky.social · 31/05/2026

Politics is owned by vested interests. Why has Labour not made it mandatory for ‘think tanks’ to declare their benefactors? They need to wear badges of their donors in parliament. Ban second jobs. Ban any future jobs with companies they’ve helped. Stop the corruption

Ben Sowton @bensowton.bsky.social · 31/05/2026

You made me listen. What on earth was going on with the audience?? It’s certainly not like BBC Question Time. Sounded like a pissed up pub crowd. But the ‘drill baby drill’ and North Sea ‘treasure’ remarks by Tice is pure Trump. It’s astonishing people think this will help reduce bills. Insanity

Ken Coello @krc1950.bsky.social · 31/05/2026

Just caught up 8 out of 10. Bit too much time criticising Labour I understand why Tories irrelevant. Reform need to be hammered. Benefit of hindsight - get the audience to put their hands up - who thinks Brexit a success. What Tice doesn’t want to talk about - hero worshipping Trump Farage’s £5m etc

seacide @antiseacide.bsky.social · 01/06/2026

Millionaires and billionaires insisting we must defend our rights to destroy our environment and rob our children of a survivable future. What they really mean is we must defend [their] rights to to destroy our environment and rob our children of a survivable future. The rights of ecocidal maniacs.

Richard Hooton @rootntootn.bsky.social · 31/05/2026

Well done GB, you spoke well & challenged Tice effectively. Bless him tho’, he really is clueless. He engages his mouth without any real substance or strength to a debate. How on earth did he get elected?

CJ @mateloos.be · 31/05/2026

Classic far right move. Claim victimhood and people's "defense," while all they do is stomp. Stomp. Then stomp some more. How'd that go with the millions promised to NHS following Brexit btw?
