A £75,000 scheme by a Reform-led council to hang union flags at sites across the county, which the party said would “not cost the taxpayer a single penny” as it would be sponsored by local businesses, has failed to attract a single sponsor, it has emerged.

Tell you what - if I were Hannah Spencer - appearing on Newsnight with the loathsome Leila Cunningham - I’d probably have fucking smacked her in the teeth long before now.

Do find it somewhat surprising that the bookies have her as the favourite to be next mayor of London.

Like Reform did nothing in London and it will be alternative voting again.

I can assume it’s only because she has announced her candidacy and none of the others have. Greens will have a chance. Though perhaps if Burnham does well even that will disappear.

Have a look for Cunningham trying to defend Fargle on LBC. Goes from "he was not politically active" to "I don't know what politically active means".

Somebody somewhere said that having the perpetually combative and obnoxious Cunningham on news programmes repeatedly to defend Farage’s shite surely cannot be good for the Reform UK party’s public image. It’s not a good look. Just seen her on C4 news, where Krishnan Guru-Murthy wasn’t having any shit from her and her racist cheekbones. She was all but ready to hoof Guru-Murthy in the pebbles . Good job she was on a remote link.

A minor point re: Reform, but one that grates - I do wish people would stop calling it a PLC. It is NOT a PLC, it is a Limited Company; there is a big difference. If it was a PLC, you could buy shares in it. You can't in a Limited Company.

Yeah Ian Dunt has said the likes of Jenrick and Cunningham aren’t doing Farage any favours.

Nigel Farage has given up ownership of Reform UK, with the party saying it wants to give more control to its members.

Unlike most political parties, Reform was founded in 2018 as a private limited company, with Farage holding the majority of shares.

This is now being taken over by a newly registered business called Reform 2025 Ltd, according to Companies House filings, with Farage and his deputy Richard Tice no longer holding shares.

Party chairman Zia Yusuf said the move was "an important step in professionalising the party".

The two directors of Reform 2025 Ltd are Farage and Yusuf, according to Companies House. However, it says there will be "no persons with significant control".

Farage first promised to give up ownership of Reform UK last September.

In a statement posted on social media, Yusuf said: "We are pleased to announce that, as promised, Nigel Farage has handed over ownership of Reform UK to its members.

"Reform UK is now a non-profit, with no shareholders, limited by guarantee.

"We are assembling the governing board, in line with the constitution.

"This was an important step in professionalising the party. We will soon have more exciting announcements about Reform UK as we prepare for government."

Reform UK Party Ltd. - https://find-and-update.company-informa ... y/16260766 and indeed, it is described as "Private company limited by guarantee without share capital".
