Big 'poll' soon in Scotland.
Beginning of May.

Good grief, Graphite, exploiting a vulnerable man - how low can someone go?

Golly, Graphite, I'm astonished to read that a young man can be a Holocaust denier.
I have spoken before about a neighbouring constituency where the elected Reform candidate was arrested soon after taking office, and, is, now, serving a significant sentence having been convicted of coercive control of his wife.
This does suggest that Reform's vetting process is perhaps not as robust as it is claiming to be,

Very much doubt that the male Reform leadership find coercive control a problem.

You’re voting for a party the manifesto of which you have not read and you have no real idea of its policies, Meandrogrog? (Sorry, couldn’t quote you for some reason).

Blimey. Is that wise?

Well, its a good point! I suppose time will tell if Reform do ever form a government.

It will be interesting to see, just hope I get to live long enough!🤣

Just checked out today’s Times online. Can anyone explain to me why there’s a large picture of Farage looking very nice guy’ish with a caption saying that people are telling him that they’re no longer going to vote Labour. Why are the news media so desperate to get people voting for Reform? Who’s behind it; who’s going to gain from it?? Why isn’t Tice on the front page with a story about his tax evasions? This is a politician who is actually in the Epstein files, who wanted us to join Trump in his latest war. What the hell is going on???

Who owns the Times?
The Murdoch family.
Do the Murdochs support Farage?

It's behind a paywall so I can't read anything.

I’ve just glanced at it ( didn’t really want to read it to be honest and won’t copy and paste it as it will give him even more publicity) and it says how Reform are even getting union backing and are going to do very well in the May elections. No mention of his racism or party members tax dealings.

Union backing?
Did they mean the Soviet Union?

“The Unite union, one of Labour's biggest donors, has held talks with Reform based on the possibility that it will win the election in Birmingham. “I've said in the past we'd been open to talking to trade unions,” Farage says. “I've generally received abuse … but in the case of the bin strikes in Birmingham we have genuinely had some constructive conversations”
I’m not going to read it properly. But what I have read is very upbeat and positive. However they have got an article about Tices tax dodging in today’s paper. I am happy to cut and paste that one!

MayBee70,

Reform, Farage and Tice should be able to take criticism and scrutiny in the same way they sling it out to other politicians they are competing against desperately to try to get elected to Government.

You're right, separate thread going, allegations of Tice underpaying over £100,000 tax feature across some newspapers today. Needs transparent investigations and facts published- Farage should insist on this if he wants Reform UK to develop credibility and trust. Pigs might fly?
