Reform UK - A symptom of all that is wrong?
Discussion
Let’s see if there’s some back room deal with St Nige for them not to stand in key marginals.
Can’t see Tice of Farage standing, they have too much to lose should they fail to win their respective seats. Polling has them winning feck all so the embarrassment of losing to a dolphin again would be too much to bear.

Well I'm watching GB news now and he's not presenting his own programme.he saying Rishi is running scared of him and the Reform Party and the reform Party are not ready for an election so soon...which is why Rishe has called it so early.
eta he's going to think about it overnight but I did note the earlier post of an announcement by Tice tomorrow![scratchchin](/inc/images/scratchchin.gif)

Well, Britain apparently not important enough for the uber patriot routinely draped in Union flags. Definitely nothing to do with the racing cert he'd chalk up his eighth straight defeat. What a cheap grifter.

NewsThump's translation is more honest.Satire sites are literally just news now.
Well, Tice is standing in Boston&Skegness whilst the true patriot is fleeing to the US.
Last election, the Tories had a massive share of the vote (around 75%) which would take a swing of gargantuan proportions to unseat.
Can't see him winning here.
Also, Ben Habib standing (and losing) in Wellingborough.

Agree. Didn’t his bank drop him because he didn’t meet earnings thresholds or something? Clearly needs to get a few quid in the bank. Coutts is ~£3m minimum in order to maintain an account with them, I think.

I thought it was established (after a lot of speculation and misinformation from the bank) that Coutts tried to drop him because of his politics? Whatever we might think of Farage we should not be condoning banks behaving in that way imho.

So it's a bit of both. Without his account going so low they'd not have even reviewed it though.
This is an odd take from the official Conservative twitter account...
