Farage apparently is going to govern like the Tories and Labour
He most definitely will. In all areas of government. That's why he's not the answer to their problems. He's the status quo.

Any politician who votes against the triple lock is committing political suicide. Farage will know that.

The UK can either keep going with the same clowns who sold them to the EU and mass immigration, or go full brexit and own their own destiny.


Uk actually increased immigration after Brexit. Turns out capitalism is reliant on desperate people willing to work shite jobs for minimal wages. Who knew!?

Not once has the UK voted for migration. Labour got the ball rolling, so the people voted Labour out and the Tories in. Then the Tories fricked them over even harder with the Boris Wave

Yes, the Tory party is infected with globalists.

Meanwhile, Farage is packing Reform with the same slime that already fricked over the country twice.

He needs to win to have any chance of doing things.

Thats politics.

There is zero chance Restore wins more than 5 seats.
Labour and the Tories are rooting hard for Restore, because waht they can do is take a number of 32% reform seats and turn them into 29% Labour seats.

That's exactly what will happen.

Labour will stay in power with the most unpopular government of all time, and they will continue to burn it down.

Farage will say anything to get elected. Rupert Lowe is the people's Champ!

Will never win more than 6 seats.

But could take enough votes to keep Labour in command. that's how first past the post works.

If all he cared about was winning, then he would have stopped at booting Lowe from the party when he started advocating for remigration. Instead, they tried to destroy his reputation and get him sent to prison. The UK under Farage will hold course.

Alas you are correct though. There's not enough time to adequately vet thousands of potential candidates before May.

I'd call Farage a spoiler if Lowe was in the lead.

You have to start somewhere, and right now Lowe has no shot, if he really wants to help, he should support/ally with Reform, and then build a base over time. If Farage gains power and does nothing with it, Lowe becomes the de-facto replacement.

It’s not just the news division of the WSJ which is leftist, its cancer has spread to the editorial board and its editorial pages.

For people like Karl Rove, Peggy Noonan, and Rahm Emanuel to espouse their views of Trump and his administration unchallenged tells me all I need to know about the WSJ and their ownership. It’s a far cry from where they were when owned by Dow Jones. Funny and ironic that they had no vitriolic punditry during the Obama and Biden administrations.

Farages voting base is predominantly the 55+ age range, why an earth would be torpedo his voting base?

Those are two regular columnists out of a fairly large stable. Finley and Stassel are real good. OGrady has the western hemisphere nailed down. McGurn is pretty good too. I'm sorry but Gogot and Henninger got old.

How? Farage won't allow it and he'd boot anyone who allied with Lowe.
