I found it interesting that at the height of the troubles Gerry Adams did not have a problem with the term Great Britain because it was a geographical term not a political term like the United Kingdom.

Yup disenfranchise the voters, why not.
Reform membership surpasses Tories.

In the scheme of things it doesn't mean that much, never the less it's another notch on Reform becoming a serious political party. Labour and especially the Tories will ignore this to their peril.
Reform party membership surpasses Tories
A digital counter on the Reform website showed its membership tally before lunchtime on Boxing Day ticking past the 131,680 figure declared by the Conservatives earlier this year.

Labour will obviously do what's in their best interests and focus efforts on whatever they feel best splits the ring wing vote. They are....if not their activists...well aware that they have a 'loveless majority' in parliament that doesn't in anyway reflect popular sentiment but more a vote against the Tories.
At the moment they are looking to boost Reform as essentially the Tories have the benefit of a lot of election infrastructure that Reform simply do not have. For that to happen Reform needs big money donors, which is what is coming their way....even if Labour tried to stop it there are workarounds....something those with more than a braincell on the left are also aware of. They have benefited from the same.
Still it'll take time and Labour know there is much play to be made in encouraging division within Reform too. Their institutional friends both civil, media and in the security state will help them however they can.
Labour know that most of the Tory support comes from old boomers who will never change and are too stuck in their ways. They will count on this and from their perspective I think they are correct to and it's always going to amount to around 15 to 20 percent even at its lowest ebb. Reform's lion share will be with Gen X and younger voters who feel an increasing level of betrayal from the direction of travel of both mainstream parties.....quite rightly in my view.
Labour's behaviour will always be in reaction to maintaining that split......All while trying to suppress the Corbyn left within their own party and emerging parties.

Farage is a Thatcherite.
That's essentially what you are going to get. The Tories from the 80/90s.....Just as with Trump you are essentially getting the Democrats from the 90s.

Would I take a ruling group heavily funded and influenced by Elon Musk over what we have had dished out this century?

Do you believe in democracy?
Do you believe it’s acceptable for anyone, especially someone overseas, to be able to buy influence over our politics?
He knows how to use upper case !!
He has never claimed to be a man of the people , he proudly talks of his personal success.
What exactly is wrong with Dulwich College?
I don't trust Farage but then I don't trust any politician. But I agree I don't care whether you went to Eton or some council dump school those are decisions your parents make.
I do care if you send your kids to private school whilst telling the rest of us not to.
It's a nothing argument as membership of policial parties (hundreds of thousands) doesn't decide elections.
Farage has challenged the Tories to audit the numbers I doubt Central Office will go for that. Still the fact that Badenoch came out so strongly shows the Tories are rattled.
You have missed my point,Badanoch and Farage are kicking lumps out of one another, minimally a bad look,it might even turn voters off voting for them.Whilst Starmer shines.

That well known Spoonerism a Shining Wit?
No I didn't miss your point I agree with it. Just saying it's a nothing argument which shows that the Tories are rattled. She would have been better off pointing out how many million people voted Tory rather than Reform.
