...is what Farage promised yesterday. Don't know if a current or just a former MP yet though.

Not sure myself. I wouldn't welcome any of the current cabinet, they all seem to be utterly ridiculous people to me, like they've lost their brains to a weird religious cult. I'd hope that there are sensible voices within the labour party, presumably they're just being quiet at the moment so we don't notice them.

It would definitely be very very bad for Starmer.

Plenty of former Labor people moved over to Re form, the Tory’s are his big prize. So far 8 disgraced disloyal MP’s and an ex plumber. Barrel bottom scrape

Far rage is the only weird cult

And some want the rabble to run the UK. As if Brexit wasn't an ominous enough warning.

Farage said during the press conference yesterday that a Green MP will joining Reform ltd! Just goes to show, some politicians have absolutely no principles.

I didn't hear that, only a mention of someone from Labour. Do you have a link to this exclusive story?

I hope not, given that Green policies are insane and communist. They'd need a personality transplant to switch from one to the other.

Reform. Coming to a town near you.

Hey, Nosey. If you were starting a brand new company, would you fill the senior positions with unknown and inexperienced employees or would you try to get employees with experience from your competitors?

I'd hope they'd to pass the sinking ship test and stay past lunchtime.

They were 100% successful. Had a plan, presented it to the public, the public said yay. The end, we all lived happily ever after, those who didn't agree with the outcome respected the greater wisdom of the majority.
