And here we are! Who is surprised that reform is a hotbed of sleaze, corruption and law breaking, oh nobody. And they won't have even scratched the surface. Sadly the knuckle dragging supporters will claim not to care... If it was labour on the other hand.....

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Sorry, listening on catch-up... You asked for words used to describe Farage.... He is a political veruca, painful, hard to get rid of and keeps coming back.

Jay Wright @jay.wright43.com · 14/08/2026
It's going to be hard to sell this as a convincing victory. I presume this is why Farage avoided the by-election count, to hide his embarrassment. Now back to the investigations....

Jay Wright @jay.wright43.com · 14/08/2026
'Result speaks for itself', no other major parties stood, Farage got only minimal increased vote, Count Binface received more than 25% of the vote. Not the 'resounding' endorsement Nige expected, I presume that's why he did not attend results announcement. Now back to the investigations.

Jay Wright @jay.wright43.com · 14/08/2026
In Farage faux distraction Clacton by-election Count Binface took 26.9% vote, this must be seen as a humiliation (is that why Nigel avoided the count?). Now back to the investigations.

Would you 'gift' someone £500 or £5000 without perhaps expecting some future 'cooperation', how much help might you expect if you gave someone £5m, no strings, honest gov. Who can claim not to be politically active when owning controlling 53% of a political party?
