A never ending tsunami of news sees Reform UK leader Nigel Farage stand down, triggering a “People vs the Establishment" election… but was this a political mis-step?
Imagine Farage’s victory speech. “In Britain there are two choices. Stick with parties that are as much use as a man with a bin on his head, or vote for change, vote Reform.”
The establishment (and that includes Mr Lowe), didn’t think this through.
I couldn't give a fig about a politician having great wealth. In fact it is preferable that we have people representing us who are successful and know what others need to be equally prosperous.
I am a little uneasy with donations and gifts as there is no such thing as a free lunch. On balance I think that Farage is a patriotic man who loves his country and wants it to prosper again.
The UK could turn around their situation within 1 year doing 5 things:
1: Leave ECHR
2: Repeal the UK Human Rights Act
3: End Net Zero
4: Start drilling and refining North Sea oil
5: End all Quangos killing Blairism
Now there are MANY other things to do, but these 5 will create massive momentum. Doing 1 and 2 will stop the small boats and allow ALL illegal immigrants including visa overstays to be sent to the Shetland and Ascension Islands before repatriation. Doing 3 and 4 will get the economy moving to a correct foundation for growth. Finally, 5 will allow the Bank Of England governance Quango; the Judge appointment Quango; and the other Quangos related to DEI to be abolished into Parliamentary control including hiring and firing. The Police need a large scale firing of senior leaders to restore the proper focus on real crime including cybercrime while leaving political speech online alone.
The UK Military needs an overhaul in focus and equipment. This includes a right sizing of the Navy and Army, with a much greater focus on Air Force solutions. Nevertheless, the UK Military can achieve this reorientation with only a 3% of GDP budget within 2 years. It needs thinking change
Why would I care about £5M gift to Farage when I see Chagos and PPE, Labour and Conservatives using MY money for their corrupt ventures. The establishment parties are complacent with how they treat taxpayers
As someone pointed out in the emails section, The Estabishment dirty tricks are just strengthening the determination of us ordinary voters to throw them out and get politicians who actually represent our views & interests.

For that reason I wish him every success.

"Keep calm and carry Reform"
This takes it off the table
