Yes, Nigel has won the by-election with approximately 1,000 more votes this time than in the 2024 election, according to ITV breakfast news…

The source was the Guardian, btw.😁

Thankyou for digging yourself even deeper into that pit of ignorance and confirming my opinion.

ALL New MP's are required to declare all interests within the 12 month period before they took their seat.

All this has been headline news for months. How could you not know ?

You should not accuse another poster of being ignorant, that is very unkind.

😀 Pointvtaken.

FriedGreenTomatoes, you could ask if GNHQ would put this thread under Chat.
Then all will be well.

(Although technically it is News.)

I suppose we all join in and post. Just that some of us are more diligent about every fact.

That one (12 months prior, counts) passed me by.

Apologies.

Don't apologise. This is a chat forum for grandparents, not the Oxford Union.

There is a forum called ‘Chat’ for people who want to chat.

FGT I’m so sorry that you have been going through some difficult times lately. I enjoy your posts and mainly agree with everything you say.
I cannot believe the spiteful, harsh comments, superior attitudes and lectures from some posters on here.
Don’t let the b*****s get you down.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Facts matter and particularly with someone as controversial as NF. We’re not discussing our favourite TV programme. NF wants to destroys the very fabric of our society . That matters

🫥 like it JenniRen!

I cannot help thinking what Farage has “won”? In my eyes he’s such a complete loser!

Sorry Cossy but it’s not right to have different categories of standards. Not everyone chooses to share - you have, FGT has but that doesn’t give either of you a free pass to support far right politicians who want to destroy the NHS by not being informed about their financial donations. I know you don’t but FGT is a firm Reform supporter and has to take responsibility for her posts on that.

Let’s respectfully agree to disagree on this occasion.

I wish you a good and peaceful night flowers

You’re right there JennyRen, the complete silence from Farage today is most uncharacteristic, so odd.

Well, if Jonathan Harvey is Count Binface, then Farage seems to be the Invisible Man.

Cossy Fri 14-Aug-26 21:06:18

JenniRen

It's difficult to know what the truth is where Farage is concerned.

Well, if we use “nothing” as our baseline, we won’t go far wrong 🤣🤣🤣

Cossy Fri 14-Aug-26 21:05:33

JenniRen

No need to explain.

Posting the truth is quite helpful. If you don’t know the truth, don’t post or find it out.

Whilst I one 100% agree with you, I still stand by my posts and a tiny bit of compassion wouldn’t kill any of us,

JenniRen Fri 14-Aug-26 20:54:27

FGT can post what she likes within the guidelines, surely?

The thread title is "Nigel Farage has won" so Farage supporters should be able to post.

I am not one of them.

Tuliptree Fri 14-Aug-26 20:52:01

I’m sorry FGT but don’t post if you don’t know the facts. You don’t have to and you know very well that your views are controversial.
