Farage, when does he actually do his MP role??

Wondering how many of the people on here complaining & nit picking at Farage live in or near Clacton? I moved from Clacton a while ago & still have friends there who have no complaints about Farage. One of them did not vote for him but has had help from him when she needed! So is just because you do not like what he stands for or just want to have a go at someone & he is handy right now?

I notice that the Companies House registration describes Reform 2025 Ltd as a private company limited by guarantee without share capital.

A private company limited by guarantee without share capital. is a limited company that has guarantors instead of shareholders. Guarantors, also known as members, agree to contribute a set amount of money to the company if it has financial difficulties.

People who were daft enough to stump up £25 to become members might now have cause to be concerned considering the amount of of money that is being spent on “professionalising” the party and that in 2023, Reform UK Party Limited was insolvent.

I'd be looking at the small print of the membership form.

I see that the Guardian article says that Farage and Yusuf are understood to be the guarantors which sound unlikely because they alone would be undertaking to bankroll the company if it runs into financial difficulties which sounds highly risky. I'm intrigued to know whether or not Tice has been repaid the over a million pounds he was owed and if so how.

Your friend must be a member of a tiny group, which has ever had any help from Farage. (And, yes, I know some people who live in his constituency - and it's not what they're saying.)

What about Dan Norris, Labour MP who is also WECA mayor taking two salaries and so busy he can’t reply to his constituents.

Is he lauding Trump?

It just sounds like a slight change in contract? I presume they are still a registered company and all that it means is a change of names on a title?

The way very little changes.

Oh I think that if our Nige had done something wonderful and democratic then his GN fanclub would have been telling us all about it.

They have gone so so quiet.

They have gone so so quiet.

Well, I'm not surprised really.

No-one would want a daily bashing, especially when they might have other things going on in their lives.

never stopped them before. We all have lives, you know.

And heavy criticism is definitely 'de rigueur' at the moment, for this traitor.

Farage chose to share a stage with a chainsaw wielding unelected bureaucrat and Steve Bannon who ended his speech with a Nazi salute. Too much for a French far-right leader, but not Farage.

Or perhaps the actions of their party's leaders and their close associates has made them question if they've been defending the indefensible.

Oh come on.
We may not agre with them but politeness costs nothing.

No-one likes being bullied.

Poor Nigel, such vitriol,

I can’t see why Liz Truss is in the US all the time. What is she hoping for?

She’s setting up a ‘free speech media network’ apparently in conjunction with American allies. Free speech seems to be Vance’s latest hobby horse, he seems to think we have none in Europe compared to the USA, quite amusing since one news network who spoke out against Trump has been banned from the White House and so has the word ‘felon’.

Oh hello!

I may not agree with you but I defend your right to say it.

Probably the ‘fan club’ can’t be stuffed with all the nasty comments and don’t feel the need to defend themselves. I’m not a fan but really people are entitled to support him if they want and shouldn’t be subject to such judgemental attitudes. In fact it probably makes oppositional types support him more. I’d identify with that one.

Can't stand him myself.

But Judgmental = Gransnet.
So much worse lately. Why?

It really is shocking, the level of personal attacks recently.

I thought nanna8 had said that she’d listened to Farages speeches and thought they were good. And also thought that we needed a leader more like Trump? Certainly has been very disparaging of Starmer.

That's precisely what I meant.

So it’s wrong of me to remember what people post?

Talking of bullying; there is one poster on here who lives overseas and has, over the past few years, been subjected to dreadful bullying of the "but you don't even live in the Uk" type comments despite said poster explaining that she was British but overseas taking care of parents. It was a nasty and pointed campaign and some of the bullies are no longer on GN. This poster was left of centre, remain supporting in her politics.

In contrast, a more recent poster who lives in Australia and has a down on the democratically elected Labour govt is lauded, by some of the same people who drove the other poster off GN for months at a time.

It is not clever, it is not nice, and the rules of bullying applies to all sides of politics.

I can’t stand Starmer. I think he is awful and a bad leader. So ? Not illegal to hold those views. I think Farage is a fantastic speaker and can see why he attracts followers. I wouldn’t vote for him personally, he reminds me of a used car salesman but I can quite see his appeal. Look, I suppose if people have anger inside them and it helps them cope, fine but it isn’t nice. It has deteriorated on here recently, you are right Allira

That in itself comes across as an attack without naming names, does it not?

In fact that poster has been on here a very long time, is entitled to her political views and does not attack other posters.

It is the personal attacks, even obliquely, which are wrong.

It's fine.

It's fine not to agree as well.

People will naturally be judgmental. I doubt if I would have very much in common with anybody who has values which support Farage. Therefore, in real life, I would avoid such people like the plague. I really don't want to spend my free time with people with whom I have nothing in common. I'm quite happy to leave them to mix with people with similar values. If my attitude towards them makes them more "oppositional", I see that as even more reason to have nothing to do with them.
