no worries I was just name dropping as my Auntie raves about her neice but I prefer Whaley Toons

At 11 am tomorrow I will announce a major and long overdue tax reform. Reform UK will turn the tables on two-tier Britain. We will build an economy that puts British workers first. Always.

Why is an 8% party supposedly so important to Reform's success? Labour has been through a difficult period. Reform has enjoyed favourable headlines, wall-to-wall media coverage and strong polling. Yet we're constantly told that a party polling around 8% is somehow the obstacle standing in Reform's way. If Reform is truly a political force on the verge of government, why does it need smaller parties to stand aside? Why is so much attention focused on who isn't voting for them rather than who is? Successful parties win support because voters are persuaded by their message. They don't depend on rivals disappearing from the ballot paper. Perhaps the real question isn't why Restore exists. Perhaps it's why, despite all the publicity and momentum, Reform still struggles to convert headlines into votes.

I took part in an alternative Desert Island Discs with @LBC. This is the story of how Without Me by Eminem went viral in 2024.

Although it certainly won't be a walkover, Andy Burnham looks to be cruising to victory in Makerfield this week. I don't blame Restore for standing, for the following reasons - 1. If Reform are that popular they should win the seat off their own back. 2. Nobody should assume that the majority of Restore votes have come from otherwise Reform voters. My own 2 cents are that the Reform campaign has been too negative, and the candidate is not up to fighting a heavyweight like Burnham. Lessons to be learned here, but not a total disaster as the General Election is three years away.

Two Horse Race.

Nigel Farage says Reform would evict all foreign nationals from social housing itv.com/news/2026-06-14/fara…

Funny how a party supposedly leading the polls can't seem to win unless everyone else gets out of the way first. If 8% is enough to derail Reform's chances, perhaps the problem isn't Restore it's Reform's inability to broaden its appeal.

Reform's Rob Kenyon on Restore: "Not many have come forward for Restore, and even the ones we came across who were Restore voters have said we kind of know it's a two-horse race... it's not that many..." 📺FULL Makerfield dispatch out now on YouTube youtu.be/UdJHTPprjoI

Based on the photos, the Restore Britain gathering on the left shows a substantially larger and denser crowd. The Reform UK event on the right is smaller and more staged. These are local snapshots in Makerfield. Nationally, Reform UK has broader established support as a party, while Restore Britain is newer and showing strong local mobilisation here.

Him posing by a laptop doesnt mean a comms team isnt spinning it all for him while he sits in deckchairs in his own satire for PR so here's more satire

Labour must go as soon as possible

Nigel Farage doesn’t actually want to be Prime Minister and he’s terrified by the prospect that he might be.

Under a Reform government, foreign nationals in social housing will be given three months to find private accommodation or face being deported. British military veterans, long-term local residents, domestic abuse survivors will be given priority.
