I honestly think she is mentally ill. Damn equality, human rights, and the future of the planet! And I don't want to judge people on their appearance, but the decline in her's is disturbing.

 

 

She’s tapped. She’s still a cunt though

Farage thing could also be them announcing a grubby deal with the Tories but I really hope not. Everything he's said so far would suggest it won't be that though. 

 

 

I wouldn't put it past him. He'll just give it "Working together we can get the country back on track" spiel that the right wing will lap up.

It might help the Tories a bit. But people are, I think, voting for Reform because they are neither of the main parties. Quite how anyone is taken in by Farage is beyond me like. That would basically be them backtracking on everything they’ve said so far in this campaign

It potentially significantly changes the result though. I'm a bit worried about this now. 

 

Aye, it undoubtedly will. Labour will still win comfortably, but might not be an extinction event for the tories as I had hoped. Thing is, it will make Tice look ridiculous. Would he do it? Would he really support Sunak?

Thinking about it, it would be a bit odd to call a press conference to formally announce a deal. It would make more sense for them to just do something behind closed doors - makes Sunak look even weaker if Farage announces it, but then those are exactly the sort of terms Farage would demand. 

 

Let's just hope it's him standing and Reform really going for it.

Not sure if him standing in Clacton makes much sense.

 

They've voted in a UKIP MP twice so it is winnable for him.

Apparently Aron Banks commissioned a poll for this specific scenario recently - Farage running in Clacton - and it showed him winning comfortably.

My assumption was that Reform are looking for a tory wipeout either so they can replace them or de facto comandeer the partry post election. If they step aside again, they just become irrelevant. So no, on reflection I don't think this will be good news for the tories.

If he finally got in as an MP I sincerely hope he'd be treated and get the same question opportunities as any other bog standard MP. It would kill him standing up to ask a question and being constantly overlooked as well as having to attend parliament on a regular basis. Has he thought this through?

He’d hate actually having to do the job. I suspect he just wouldn’t do it and see how long he could get away with it.

Maybe he thinks if Johnson could get away with it?

Also, I don't think it would be up to Farage to announce  stand down/step aside, that would have to come from Tice. Maybe Farage will stand as an actual conservative? Wonder what Sunak is up to today?

He's at a meeting with the 1922 committee who are going to brief him about having to work with Farage.

What does an MP actually have to do to avoid a recall petition? Just not get done by the standing committee I think. The like of Dorries were completely disengaged for months. Farage showeed what a lazy cunt he was as an MEP. He'd be happy to take the coin and privelige without the actual work I think.

It would certainly be a strange thing for Reform to live stream it.

Hopefully it’s like Jerry St Clair’s announcement on Phoenix Nights. With a different result

FWIW Isabelle Oakeshott (I know...) seems to think she's got the inside track with Reform and is insisting there will be no pact with the Tories.
