I think that's wishful thinking. Farage and his backers behind the scenes now have their foot firmly in the establishment door. He already sets the mood music for the national debate so I doubt he's going anywhere. I've said it loads but his end goal is leader of the Conservative Party. They're in a right state at the moment and are in danger of becoming an irrelevance. Having the most recognised and loudest politician in the country as their leader would put them right back on top.
Definitely wishful thinking. But might still hopefully might happen.
I agree with your assessment to some extent, but that's going to be a pretty quick flash in the pan, surely? If he was to get in, do the bidding of some billionaires, give them tax breaks and whatever. But we are not America, we have no global power we cannot throw out weight around, we will be laughed at and left to rot and no matter how much banter he can come up with whilst swigging a pint, the tide will turn pretty quickly when it's going to sh1te and he's got no answers.
Too late to stop massive damage, but it'd be over pretty quick and he'd be a pariah and an irrelevance just as quickly.
He'd surely prefer side influence and sniping. But he has a shelf life I guess, so those backers will want something tangible, are they getting enough by using Farage to shift the centre and government policy without the need to be in power. Dunno. All disgustingly bad for the UK and it's people, but obviously that's not their concern.

See major companies like Heathrow are sponsoring the Reform conference whilst Farage praises Trumps work in saving American democracy and freedom of speech and promotes ICE style rounding up of immigrants. He is not even bothering to camouflage the blatant lies now as he thinks he will get away with it all. Labour are just so behind in their actions and messaging to deal with this traitor. Horrible timess lay ahead

Labour have always had to struggle with the mass media against them funded by it's billionaire backers......but we are now in a position where those mass media companies are just not the powers they were; where anyone can set the agenda on social media etc.....why can't Labour sort their media out to get cut through in that.
They are worrying about leader interviews and newspapers - they should be setting the agenda everywhere else - be visible, be present, be everywhere - it's the only way these days

They may not sell the same number of physical papers but they seem to me to have as much (if not more) influence because of their online offerings in its various guises. The Express, for example, realises that negative stories about immigrants attract many people, so journalists are required to pump this sort of thing out as clickbait.
This is amplified by others on social media but the prevailing agenda is still generally that of the right wing media.

The most important thing is that those who are tempted to support him know exactly what he stands for and how harmful to them it would be if he got any semblance of power.

If anything like the states they can be told but won't listen. It's about belonging and identity for a lot of them

In "just going for a quick piss" latest, I have been pointed towards this (nsfw) https://terfisaslur.com/
Are all these people being investigated by the police? Are they the baddies?
I'm not not clicking NSFW links mate. Is it a link that's seeking to justify threats of violence despite you saying that threats of violence are A Bad Thing?

I'm one of the people who was blamed for getting Paul Cook sacked. PM for the full post.
We need to all mobilise to stop Farage, it will be our darkest day if he and Reform ever get any real power.
Brexit brought the mass immigration that is now being used by Farage to try and win power, it is ridiculous
Its ridiculous that Brexit is the brainchild of a few euro septic (sic) Tory MPs. They essentially got their wish by getting Cameron to stake his future as PM on a referendum. The game changed back then. No one ever seems to talk about that anymore with it being over 15 years ago when the Tory's replaced Gordon Browns Labour.

It’s set us back decades, possibly permanently unless someone has the balls to reverse the damage. It’s not all on those few Tories; every MP that’s refused to be honest about the damage is complicit.

it doesn't get within a mile of incitement to violence. any jury would laugh it out of court. you'd be better to quote his tweets rather than a twisted version. armed police arresting someone for tweeting has a chilling effect on free speech - it makes the police look biased and to be taking a side on a political issue. it also makes the police look ridiculous when they can't actually investigate shop lifting or burglaries but have the time to harass comedy writers with 5 armed officers.
to most people it makes our key public institutions look deranged. but you've chosen your side and will now defend it right or wrong.
i don't have the will to go through the usual dance with your gang on this, but i promise you that outside of your little bubble these things do matter to most people (people you have contempt for i'm sure).
Even this whole 'ARMED POLICE' nonsense is a great example of how they twist this narrative.
He was arrested at an airport. A huge proportion of those police (maybe all? I'm not sure) are armed. It's just the way it is. I flew back to City Airport last week and there were only three police officers there, but all were armed to the teeth with machine guns. If I'd walked into WH Smith and pinched a Mars Bar, I would also have been arrested by ARMED POLICE. It's not a huge overreaction, it's just some officers carrying out an arrest warrant.
Whether you think people should be arrested for being awful horrible c**ts or not is another debate, but the emphasis on them being armed is the same as the emphasis on 'Fighting Age Men' that we keep seeing about immigrants. It's them manipulating the conversation exactly as they want.

i have no time for farage. both starmer and raskin are entirely right. but what most people will take away from the last day is that 5 armed police officers have arrested a comedy writer. if you refuse to focus on what really disturbs the public you leave room for idiots like farage
WTF has being a comedy writer got to do with your obligations to comply with the law of the land?
