I’ll stick with the EU on this one

I’d stick to what you know about , every fruit and veg is chlorinated in this country in supermarkets, it’s an unproven animal welfare issue

Spot on - time we stopped the battery farming of apples and pears in the country.

and while we are at it, stop pumping them full uncontrolled levels of steroids and antibiotics

Ah, so washing fruit in it is the same as washing meat in it?

I worked for a meat producer for a while and heard the arguments, I won't eat it. Mind I don't eat many apples or pears either except the ones from my garden...

Yeah like I say I’ll stick to what the EU recommend and what you know about anything remotely political can just about fill the back of a fag packet laddo

Farage: Labour are destroying British farming!!!

Also Farage: Let's import chlorinated chicken from the USA!!!

Farage is a no mark, his claim to fame is to be the leading MAGA flag sh@gger in the UK. I don't think anyone really takes the coward seriously, even the party he leads.

Love it when we agree Mark, although plenty of people unfortunately do take him seriously.

Sorry to say that’s not the case


He led the hardest hitting political change this country has seen since the treaty of Rome


To dismiss him as insignificant is a mistake

Farage is 5/2 fav for next PM. People want real change, not more of the same old..

As much as I’d like to see Reform form the next government there’s no way it’ll happen. We haven’t got a heartland of support like the main stream parties, although those lines have become much more blurred of late, and our vote share will be spread very evenly across large swathes of the country. We’ll get a lot of close seconds where the right of centre vote will be split between us and the Tories and we’ll certainly get nowhere near the amount of seats that our voting % deserves. Basically there’s no way you can go from 5, sorry 4, MPs to government in one term.
Re the upcoming elections I think Reform won’t do quite as well as expected and Labour not as badly as people expect, lord knows why though, some people may just be too set. But ones things for sure if a Right wing alliance between the Tories and Reform did ever take place then Starmer and his lying cohort of MPs would be looking for new jobs in their hundreds.

His claim to fame is that hes the most significant politician of the new century. What's no mark? On what grounds do you call him a coward? The Reform Party? After the failures of the last two main parties why wouldn't people take it serioulsly. Reform will get my vote this April.

We?


Are you a party member then Mr M?


I’d expect in local elections that they get the largest vote share if all parties.


General election I’d think, based on current trends they might get between 50 and 75 seats, and what happened after that would depend on if the tories had enough for them to form a coalition- if they didn’t they will continue as they have.

He can’t manage his constituency never mind the country. He’s a no mark.

I don’t live in Clacton so I wouldn’t or couldn’t comment, but I doubt he’d be worse than our current Labour incumbent in Bolsover, the missing in action, Natalie Fleet. The previous tory MP, Mark Fletcher, was streets ahead of her. Dennis is a distant memory now.
