Why?
Fundamentally I think their media allies still want them back. Apparently there's already a "Kemi is improving" thing going on. Farage is fun for them for now, but he'll cost them too much money if he's Prime Minister.

He seems reasonable.

After the ReformExposed X/Twitter account revealed yesterday that Cllr Ian Cooper was listed as a “Top Fan” of the explicitly racist Facebook page titled “The European Race”, we decided to take a look at Cooper’s other social media accounts and see if this worrying signal was borne out elsewhere.

“Dr Shaga Bing-Bong…Time She F’d off back to Nigeria”

We quickly identified two further social media accounts belonging to Cllr Cooper, one on YouTube and one on X/Twitter. Both carry his real name, and made no real effort to disguise their origin.

The picture painted by Cooper’s social media posts is of a man who is deeply bigoted and tapped into far-right media and terminology. In response to a video clip showing the lawyer and academic Shola Mos-Shogbamimu, Cooper replied with a crude mangling of her surname and suggestions that she should “F[uck] off back to Nigeria.”

Compared to most of them, he is.

Tice is saying that all the claims of Farage being racist are "lies and politically biased twaddle".

Okaaaay.... :roll:

Reform UK gets record £9m donation from ex-Tory donor
Educated in the UK, Mr Harbone is now based in Thailand, where he chairs the investment company Sherriff Global Group.

He also paid around £28,000 for Mr Farage to travel to the US for Donald Trump's inauguration this year, and roughly £33,000 for the Reform leader to visit the president after the failed assassination attempt in the run-up to the election.

A lot of gammons seem to like retiring in Thailand as immigrants. Oh I got that wrong; ex-pats.

Now he mentions it, I don't think Jimmy Perry and David Croft should be Prime Minister. Not that either of them are ever known to have done like what Farage is accused of.
Citing television shows including Are You Being Served? and It Ain’t Half Hot Mum, Farage accused the BBC of “double standards and hypocrisy”. He said: “I want an apology from the BBC for virtually everything you did throughout the 1970s and 80s.”
He forgot The Black And White Minstrels. Perhaps Lenny Henry and Stan Stennett are the ones with the real questions to answer.

Seen this one ? She’s called Laila Cunningham, she seems to be popping up on programmes like The Daily Politics and Newsnight fairly regularly, and she is fucking horrible. Well she looks photogenic enough, and is sort of reasonably articulate (which is presumably why they put her up), but really, she is awful, horrible, dreadful. And guess what ? She is yet another former Tory. A former Tory councillor, to be exact.

She had no kind of profile before she defected. Say what you like about Danny Kruger, he did. How does she get on the TV all the time?

Sorry you’ll have to be collateral, though perhaps funding would be more appropriate, a person who is resident in Thailand has no right to fund a political party in the UK in my view.

Photogenic? As compared to Anne Widdocombe?
