Half of Reform left the Tories because they were tired of being associated with a bunch of serially corrupt incompetents. The other half were kicked out because they WERE the serially corrupt incompetents. It's like watching a snake eat itself.

For over five years @nafeez.bsky.social has been reporting on Orr and Thiel, and yet Cambridge refused to answer, passed on our confidential inquiries to Orr’s lawyers, and finally dismissed our claims as rubbish. Now they respond to the @ftweekend.com What changed?
Helen Warrell@helenwarrell.bsky.social · yesterdayJames Orr: Reform’s head of policy, Cambridge theologian, architect of the new British right. Our profile for @ftweekend.com looks at his links to the Maga movement, Silicon Valley & European populists, and his life as a Cambridge lecturer with @ramshodgson.bsky.social www.ft.com/content/c2d0...
If tonight's incredible Channel 4 exposé is the first time you've heard of James Orr, let me introduce you It is impossible to overstate how great his influence has been on the right of British politics, for years He chaired this conference in 2023 www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...
The ultra-conservative American radicals infiltrating the Tory party
The National Conservatism Conference, which starred Suella Braverman and Michael Gove this week, was disowned by the Tories only three years ago, Lizzie Dearden writes

You must go and watch the documentary. It’s explosive and damning and exposes Reform as liars and cheats and con artists who will break the rules, and the law, to win.
Just a reminder, Professor James Orr, Reform UK head of policy, teaches 'ethics' to undergraduates at Cambridge University youtu.be/aXut3s90rUI

FINALLY! BBC have the Farage story top billing on the 10 o'clock news...
One minute he's all in favour of global trade deals, the next he's hating on China's automotive sector. For a man who spends more time in Dubai than his boss does in Mar-a-Lago, it's hard to take his patriotism seriously. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

This is a very good article from John Sweeney for @thenerve.news We may think Reform is finished, but, like Trump, he could still end up in charge of the UK, if we become complacent
Quiet Majority@majorityquiet.bsky.social · yesterday"Given his history, what he was at school, and his denial of it; given his charisma, his cruelty, his chaos, the thought of Nigel Farage getting even a taste of power fills me with dread." www.thenerve.news/p/john-sween...
Can someone tell Robbie Gibb at the BBC that Farage should NOT be given headline billing and an interview on the BBC 6 O'Clock news!
