Oh joy.

Assume this is unconfirmed.

Can I be the dolphin this time round? Pretty please.

Wonder where he'd stand.

Clacton? Already got a Reform candidate, but he could probably be persuaded to stand down.

[Youngian]

As long as Farage doesn’t stand for parliament, Ofcom deem him fit and proper to front GBNews’s GE coverage. Perhaps GBeebies can no longer afford him.
If he does stand, the coming GE will be Farage’s best opening to become leader of Britain’s third biggest party (in popular vote terms).

The Reform vote didn’t swing it for Labour in Blackpool South. Lee Anderson having a hissy fit this morning talking incomprehensible babble with an irritated Nick Robinson.

[Bones McCoy]

17% for Reform in Brexity Blackpool South.
I suspect this is their high water mark - downhill with a following wind.


Some of their thinkers will realise there are no seats to be won with this sort of vote share.
Will they plan another wrap and roll for the tories come general election time?

[Tubby Isaacs]

And those figures showing the Tories winning Jews massively? Was that voting along religious lines? I'd be very surprised if the Labour vote share in the general election got down as low as that.

And as somebody points out BTL- is Lowe aware of Northern Ireland?

30p Lee is claiming that the election result represent an earthquake for the Reform Party. They have won two council seats and one seat in the London assembly. It is almost like Del Boy saying 'This time next year we will be millionaires'

[Tubby Isaacs]

Christian Calgie on Sky News all but says Reform's small boats policy is bollocks.

30p Lee is claiming that the election result represent an earthquake for the Reform Party.

To be fair, it's a British earthquake - the type that rattles some crockery in Liverpool, loosens a rooftile in Birmingham and startles a pussycat in Moreton in Marsh.

[Tubby Isaacs]

Nice to see someone get the name "Moreton in Marsh" right.

All right, Reform didn't bother with local elections but they didn't even come second in Blackpool South, same as all the Westminster by-elections they've fought.

[Oboogie]

Nice to see someone get the name "Moreton in Marsh" right.

My parents retired there in 1987 and I was a frequent visitor until my mother's death in 2014 so I know the area well. The startled cat (theirs) was a real consequence of an earthquake (as were the Liverpool and Birmingham incidents I mentioned).

[davidjay]

Morton's a nice place, it's just a shame that the A429 between there and Warwick is such a boy racer magnet.

[Andy McDandy]

In fairness, the entire north Cotswolds is a bit of a posh twat magnet, and there isn't much to do if you haven't much money, except drive very fast.

I can assure you that my late parents were neither posh twats or fast drivers.
