I'm sick of Nigel Farage. He's an absolute shit. Why do so many people think he's alright? Especially when they are given evidence that he's a stooge for foreign interests.

Half the uk population are women, therefore half the electorate, are women. Nigel Farage backs his candidate in Makerfield, who thinks women belong in the kitchen & can't drive. You don't have to vote Labour, just don't vote Reform. It's that easy.

Strong arguments from @liambyrnemp.bsky.social on how best to tackle the threat of Farage.. Do so where he’s weak: The economy⚠️he’d do a Truss++ Workers’ rights⚠️he’s against them Welfare⚠️he’d strip it away NHS⚠️he’d dismantle it. “Populists govern badly but campaign well” So blow up their campaign.

Fantasy economics mean Nigel Farage is heir to Liz Truss
Liam Byrne
Our Decoding Populism study shows Reform’s support is not a single army marching in step. It’s a fragile alliance of 5 “tribes” bound more by grievance than values. They feel under pressure, in precarious communities, pessimistic about the future, angry about immigration, and feel politics is broken. But two of these tribes, about 40 per cent of Farage’s base, are very persuadable. They worry about pay, pensions, bills, social security and the NHS. They are open to Labour, the Lib Dems, even the Greens.

So what messages work?We found that four cut through most. First: the economy. Farage has tabled billions in unfunded promises. That means higher mortgages, higher bills, higher prices. Second: employment rights. Reform would scrap safeguards on sick pay, safe hours and zero-hours contracts. Third: social security. They want to cut £140 billion of support to pensioners, families and disabled people, leaving the vulnerable out in the cold.Fourth: the NHS. Farage has mused openly about a US-style insurance model, threatening free provision at the point of need.

By contrast,attacks painting Reform’s leader as “Britain’s Trump” or focusing on immigration don’t move the dial. Populists thrive when debate rages on their chosen turf of immigration and identity. We must not fight on their battlefield.

Populists govern badly but campaign well.And the price is high: international research shows countries under populist rule end up over 10 per cent poorer within 15 years. That’s a pay cut Britain simply cannot afford. So the strategy must be clear. Stop tilting at Farage’s windmills. Expose his offer as Liz Truss 2.0 — a sugar rush of fantasy economics that would leave Britain poorer. And counter his fake nostalgia with a real story of national renewal: a country fairer, stronger and more secure. Farage can be beaten — but only if we fight him where he is weakest, not strongest.

Let’s all take a moment to congratulate Daniel ‘unelected bureaucrat’ Hannan for this masterclass in hypocrisy and abuse of power. Someone sitting in the House of Lords (however dubiously) should *not* be signing this idiotic petition. But good to have his total lack of integrity confirmed. Again.

Daniel Hannan posts that he has signed the petition calling for a general election and lists things he doesn’t think they have a mandate for:
“Farm tax
Chagos surrender
Woke national curriculum” 🤪

Extract from The Express with photo of Hannan.

“Daniel Hannan, one of the original Brexiters, has hit out at calls for a second referendum on the UK’s EU membership saying they would trigger a crisis of democracy”
