But Davey is having to be a sensible one at the same time as the straight talking populist. That is harder to pull off.
I've not watched Ulster for years but isn't there a TUV that's outflanking the DUP.

Meanwhile a horde of one-man grifter parties are buzzing about Nigel's right elbow.

I was thinking about TUV, but hadn't seen the latest results (2024). They got 6.2% and won North Antrim off the DUP. So perhaps things have changed, but the DUP had a good run after going into government with Sinn Fein.

I think Farage will handle Rupert Lowe and co well enough, and a bit of distance from them might help with picking up Tory votes. He could be like Nixon in 1968, who had George Wallace making him look moderate.

Apart from drug dealers, people rarely handle banknotes. Davey had an opportunity to fill a vacuum and show what a responsible opposition leader looks like in an international crisis. But instead is acting the twat.
Even as a politics nerd I can only name 10 per cent of Lib Dem MPs. May as well be balloons on sticks with ‘not a Tory’ written on them.

He has not even got his ear to the ground. I would bet that most of his target voters care a lot more about wildlife than they do about a figure that's receding fast into hazy memory.

Or you're one of those GB News types like my sister, or someone like my homeless mate who defaulted on a massive credit card debt and went to ground for over six years. Lives a tax-free, cash in hand lifestyle to this day.

It's a badger now?
I throught it was Beavers (Farage) or Squirrels (Badenoch).

You'd think they could find something more concrete to moan about.
