They don't even pretend to know what's in the curriculum. Just fire off the talking point and narrative all the time.

Accidentally caught a moment on BBC just now: Think it was the Laura Kuennsberg programme. Nadine Dorries kissing Trump's ass with a great men of history read of the ceasefire in Gaza.
Why on earth is anyone paying her to opine on anything?!
Is she available at short notice? Will that fill space?

I see the Mail has moved to praising Trump "the peacemaker", and attacking "virtue signalers" Starmer and Macron. I think it realizes that the Trump connection is going to be a problem for Farage, so the rehabilitation will need to start now.

I think it’s a sizeable gamble for the two right wing parties. Trump could collapse the MAGA movement could splinter, his own government could cause ripples.
Not sure why they want to be so attached to it. It’s not effective now it might be even less so when they get close to power. It’s also entirely possible a Democrat could be President by the next UK election.
We are talking someone more unhinged than Johnson here.

I think you're giving them too much credit for thinking that far ahead. The grift is always in the present. If there's an opportunity in the future, well that's always a bonus, otherwise they always just slink off.

Reform's history curriculum would be something like:
Alfred the Great - burned some cakes, killed foreigners
1066 - let's skip that bit
Richard the Lionheart - invented red crosses, killed Muzzies
Elizabeth I - discovered America, killed Spaniards
Wellington - killed Frenchmen, made us World champions
Victoria - civilised the darkies
World War I - killed Germans, America arrived late
World War II - stood alone, killed Germans, America arrived late again
Post war - ungrateful bastards ganging up on us.
All neatly wrapped up by mid-November, leaving more time for proper subjects like metalwork and cooking.

I get Bill Gates wanting to use his riches to conquer malaria but this wanker just subsidises a solid bed of cunts.
In February 2019, Hosking submitted the paperwork to found a new party called Brexit Express, which would welcome Conservative Party MPs unhappy with Theresa May's Brexit plans. At the same time, he launched a public campaign in favour of a no-deal Brexit.[21] Hosking has made major donations to the Brexit Party led by Nigel Farage.[22][23] He became the founding donor to the Reclaim Party led by Laurence Fox.[24][25] In the first quarter of 2021, he gave the Reclaim Party more than £1,000,000 in cash and services.[24] In December 2021, newspapers reported he would continue to fund the Reclaim Party.[26]
Hosking is listed in the Parliamentary register of interests as having donated legal services to Andrew Bridgen to the value of £4,470,576.42

Prehistoric times - Stonehenge built. Yay, Britain has the best henges.
Roman times - we invite them to stay for a bit. They build Hadrian's wall to keep the riff-raff out. Eventually we civilise them by making them all Christians, and speaking English like what Jesus did.
King Arthur rules for a bit and is very noble.
Saxon times - King Alfred beats the Vikings, but they're tough and manly and white so we allow them to stay.
King Canute is a silly forriner and gets his feet wet defying the will of the English God.
Norman conquest - yes, yes, they have second homes in France, but they have sensible names like Norman. They tell the Saxons (who were getting bit smelly and hippyish) to get on their carts and look for work.
Robin Hood gets Bad King John to sign Magna Carta, which says that decent upstanding Englishmen should never be inconvenienced by laws clearly designed to apply to rough types. You know, from that estate.
100 Years War - England wins a series of battles against the French, Joan of Arc, and Mel Gibson. Eventually we get bored of winning and go home. French sneakily declare victory.
Richard II defeats the Peasants' Revolt. Humourists delight in going "Which Tyler" and invent printing to spread this witticism far and wide.
War of the Roses. Northerners beat each other up on bank holidays at awful seaside resorts until Henry VIII steps in, knocks heads together, and tells them to be a little more middle class.
Henry VIII is fat and has lots of wives and tells the Pope to shove it. That is all.
Elizabeth I is the first Maggie, who leads the Spanish Armada into Cadiz harbour where she biffs Philip of Spain with her handbag.
Guy Fawkes tries to blow up Parliament because speed cameras.
Civil War. Charles I agrees to give democracy a try for 10 years. If we don't like it, we'll go back to having kings. As a show of goodwill he has his head ceremonially cut off.
Great Fire of London gives birth to Cockney knees up blitz spirit.
James II (or William II) gives the Micks a drubbing.
Quiet 100 years or so. We invent steam engines so we don't need the Yanks any more.
Napoleon gets defeated by Nelson, Wellington, Sean Bean, and a series of memorable quotes.
Victoria is Maggie II, shutting up evil foreigners like Bismarck by saying "We are not amused", and hitting Indian mutineers with her handbag. She leads the Charge of the Light Brigade to rescue Florence Nightingale from the brutal Hun.
Jack the Ripper launches his campaign to gentrify Whitechapel, an up and coming area with lots of potential.
Titanic sinks, best sinking ship ever. British.
Scott reaches South Pole, dies heroically on way back in way no foreign scum Norwegian ever could.
We win Great War, Evelyn Waugh, Second World War. Queen Mum keeps spirits up in tube stations playing piano while Vera Lynn sings. Churchill leads brave British Tommies in flotilla of river boats, canoes, rafts and yachts to give Jerry a good pasting in Operation D-Day.
Britain kindly gives Suez back to Egyptians and Israelis because they've earned it.
Britain goes to the dogs.
Maggie. We win.
Britain goes back to the dogs.
Brexit. We win.
Johnson. We win.
Britain goes back to the dogs.
Reform UK form, and the promised land is but a general election away. This will be the end of history.

Not just any Bentley, a fucking Bentayga. Those things make Yank SUVs look small.
Gets to ride in a private train too. I felt very sorry for the people who have worked so hard to return the unique Duke Of Gloucester to traffic - but I did laugh when I heard whose train it was hauling when it failed.
