Absolutely. I think they're fully on board with the racism.

A single vote indicates that an entryist faction was able to take advantage of a party's low conference turnouts for its own benefit and *far* too many people have concluded the only possible response is either burning down the party completely or entirely doing away with party democracy.

I’ve been very quiet during #suicidepreventionawarenessweek because it’s shit being constantly reminded of all the things I might have done to save Alice. The “check-in” narrative is particularly distressing. I get that its’s appealing, plenty of people have an anecdote that it saved their life…

I think it's because they're in the pockets of the same people who are promoting the far right. I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think the UK government wants to stop them.

Perhaps now finally we can start paying attention to the billionaire funding of 'racial science' (fraud discipline) & white supremacist networks in the UK, including a branch at Cambridge? Nathan Cofnas is a small, albeit hideous cog, in a much bigger wheel.

Cisgender women here. You've done nothing to make my life safer and everything to make life more difficult for people I love. You may think you're winning at whatever evil game you're playing right now, but I can assure you, the hated and discrimination you promote will make you miserable too.

This is correct: Farage was recruited by the press to 1) front up their endless outrage campaigns over nothing, and 2) troll the Tories from the right. Under no circumstances was he employed to 3) become the editors’ boss and control things like press regulation. So they’re revoking his legitimacy.

Is this the end of the Reform revolution?
The latest polling showing Nigel Farage's plummeting approval ratings will no doubt make grim reading for the Reform UK leader, but the problems he and his party face go far deeper.
His personal approval ratings have fallen almost vertically since the start of July, according to the latest research from More in Common. For a party as dependent on the energy, charisma and ability of a single man as Reform UK, a rating of
-32 - down 10 points in just a fortnight - is potentially catastrophic.
Mr Farage has come through various crises before - he has survived a plane crash, leadership challenges and come out of retirement twice - so some will reasonably ask why this time is different. The answer lies in what he was attempting: not just leaving the EU, the cause that defined his career, but becoming prime minister and forming a government with a start-up party.
That strategy has now been badly exposed.
Reform's 15-month run at the top of every poll ended this month when Andy Burnham replaced the unpopular Sir Keir Starmer and took Labour back into the lead, while Kemi Badenoch's Tories, with a far higher approval rating than Mr Farage's, have begun to gain ground too.
Insiders blame a failure to sort out candidate selection and build "a coherent narrative," with one admitting: "I have never known Nigel to be so grumpy and tired. He is fed up."
Most in Reform will admit that without Farage, the party cannot win - so if he stops being a political asset, the challenge may be finished.
