Farage not standing in election He said: "I will do my bit to help in the campaign, but it is not the right time for me to go any further than that. "Important though the general election is, the contest in the United States of America on 5 November has huge global significance. "A strong America as a close ally is vital for our peace and security." Eh?? In other words, they're paying him more. A true patriot

Do we think Jonathan Gullis will get a second term in Stoke North? Seems to be popular at least going off of Facebook. Appears people are conflating being a social media influencer with hard work. No.

Big moment ahead for actual conservatives. Will you bottle it at the polling station and vote for 5 more years of moderate, soft, weak, centre left shite in Sunak (or Starmer)... Or will you vote for a party that actually represents your views and core values in Ricky Tice's Reform.
Disappointing that Farage isn't standing but I still think there is a huge opportunity for Reform to win a few seats, with the right focus on the campaign trail.
Ricky Tice, what a bloke.

The best thing about a Labour landslide is that it's going to force the Tories to drastically reform. This is a fine example of that as we see yet another member of the old guard resign. Gove has been at the heart of policy failings, corruption and general toxicity of the party for over a decade.

Or to be honest, maybe it doesn't and we see the rise of a new centre right party... That'd be far better.

The fate of reform will depend on how visible farage is i reckon. If he campaigns a lot for them he might push the dial. I suspect the tories will have a later surge as some of the old guard will take a big gulp and cross their box 📦 i won't be voting for either personally or Labour. And to be fair my vote is pointless anyway given the ward in Manchester I live in. Its not uncommon round here in the pubs and shops to hear the phrase tory scum 😆 I keep my opinions to myself 😆

Farage needs to be present in the campaign and fronting a lot of it with Tice. Lee Anderson has a big role too.

Can't see either happening especially the latter Same with Labour they should probably split in two but until FFP goes (& don't see that happening probably in my lifetime) that won't happen either

Starmer will be the best thing to happen to this country for 15 years.
Finally we may just get a PM who isn't a career politician and who has worked hard for their success.
A PM who can actually be an inspirational figure to working class kids up and down the country.
A PM who has worked for a living before getting into politics.
A PM who's a decent family man with no salaciousness or skeletons in the closet.
A PM who's genuinely patriotic and will represent us rather than embarrass us on the world stage.
A PM who understands the seriousness of government and the impact it has on everyday people.
Just hope we're not stupid enough as a country to pass up the opportunity to bring fairness, respectability and integrity back into politics.
Time for the aristocracy to make way.
