    Yeah the Lib Dems are an interesting one. They used to be quite a liberal party that was a favourite of students and politically active young people. A "progressive" party some might say. They lost that vote when they went into coalition and rowed back on their promises on tuition fees...

    Nope. He combines anecdotes of thought processes of everyday people with facts and stats and its powerful.

    precisely the point being made. You want short sharp facts. Farage is brilliant at this. 2 million in last 2 years and you wonder why you can't get a job, a house, why food is going up. Its short. Its sharp. Its a fact. You don't need the detail.

    Farage ticks all 3 on the issue of immigration. I think he is weaker on other bits but that doesn't matter as where he is strong on all 3 points is where the current political debate and focus is.

    People are not interested in depth though. You can't lambast Farage for not rambling on about detail then say my posts on this forum are too long to read (which many of you do). People want to vote for people that clearly articulate the direction of travel. People are not interested in...

    I think some of his policies may never be enacted if he gets in, but it won't matter as long as he makes strides in dealing with immigration. And actually it may suit him to be head of a minority government where Parliament and the courts try and block him at every turn. Boris did that when he...

    Most people haven't made up their mind that he is their hero. They've made up their mind that he is the only one willing to do what is necessary to tackle their priority in the way they want it tackled. There's a difference.

    Farage is the the most intelligent, articulate and powerful communicator in British politics right now by a mile in my opinion. The quip about the taxi driver is powerful as it is simply acknowledging what ordinary people in this country believe and are concerned about. You talk about a centre...

    I don't really have any concerns over him his quality is there to see and he definately made more of an impact in the centre.

    Labour are instinctively uncomfortable and divided on the issue though. The two child benefit cap was largely introduced off the back of genuine public anger that a chav or immigrant could bang out 5 or 6 kids and end up being handed a 6 bedroom mansion and £80K a year for sitting on their a**...

    There was a spike in net migration during Covid as there was a huge influx of people returning to the UK that had been stuck abroad during lockdowns including many EU citizens that came to the UK to get their settled status prior to the transition period ending. There was also a mass foreign...

    The YouGov MRP polls are very reliable and accurate to within a small margin of error. Albeit it is still a snapshot in time (i.e. its "if a GE were held now" - well it won't be held until 2029) - although i am not sure the established parties have an answer for this as their fundamental...

    Mathys Tel

    I mean what i would say RE: Soldado and Janssen is that they were both brought in to be key 1st team squad members (in Soldado's case to be our no. 9 and in Janssen's case to rotate/challenge Kane). There is no such pressure on Tel. We don't actually need him when everyone is fit and even now...

    Latest YouGov MRP projection. Reform have improved the position significantly since the last one where it looked like Labour could cling on to power. If it went down like this it would probably be unfeasable for anyone other than Farage to be PM:

    Yeah WW1 was truely horrific. The massive loss of life for very little territorial gain, the free use of chemical weapons...massive sh*t show and all started because Franz Ferdinand wanted to bang Sophie Chotek

    So getting rid of people quickly and decisively when sh*t comes out about them is a sign of competence wouldn't you say? Compared to the other parties. E.g. Reyner hasn't had the whip withdrawn has she? Neither has Tulip Siddique. I do believe McMurdoch has been exonerated on the points raised...

    Wasn't even true colonialism that resulted in Britain controlling Palestine. The Ottoman Empire attacked Russia and declared alignment with Germany and Austria-Hungary. The defeat of the central powers necessitated the invasion and occupation of their territories and the British ended up...

    Yeah and behind Iran has been the Russians, just as we are behind the Saudis. I was born in ex-Aden (south Yemen) during the civil war with the north (the Houthis - Iran/Russia backed) vs. US/British/Saudi backed government forces.....was all cold war related gonads back then and a lot of it...
