When you stake your entire reputation as UK Conservative leader on a Neo-Nazi: He quits because he can’t stand the heat so Badenoch gives him a job as a Tory adviser instead.

Ex neo-Nazi activist withdraws as Tory election candidate

It follows a backlash against the party's decision to pick Joshua Bonehill-Paine as a council candidate in Somerset.

Is the crux of the advice: 'They join the Conservative Party and kinda go from there'?

Stop listening to Reform’s desperate BS 💩 announcements designed to cause outrage and ragebait for stupid people. The Navy cannot do this. Quite obviously.

Tim Bale@timbale.bsky.social · 2d ago

Sorry but unless you, as a media outlet, have managed to get someone from the Navy (probably a former sailor because those currently serving maybe disbarred from commenting) to explain that this is extremely unlikely to happen for legal reasons, then, arguably, you haven't really done your job.

Can electoral lightning strike twice? #VoteBinface #Clacton

Very foolish for Andy Burnham to call an election and place Reform as the official opposition. They’re currently on less than 10 MPs and the scale of their depravity and corruption is just being uncovered. Handing them a louder megaphone is ill advised.

The Burnham bounce. It needs to be bigger to risk an early election. observer.co.uk/news/columni...

Looks like Farage was given a bung / hidden remuneration to return as leader of Reform. Let’s hope HMRC are all over this. It isn’t a gift. It’s a golden handshake to grift, gaslight and corrupt our politics

Wow. Labour 28%. 🗳️ Not enough people abandoning Reform yet. It’s wild that 1 in 4 people want to get rid of the NHS and corrupt our politics even further than the Tories.

Do you know what 'cheapens the Holocaust'? Sharing a platform with people who say they 'trust Adolf Hitler' and that Jews are 'not our people'. That's what Reform did in Glasgow yesterday. A rally where you can't move for Nazis is a Nazi rally.
