Rejoining the EU by eating the Brexit Elephant one bite at a time.
I will defend myself but I do not want to engage in culture wars. Better to find what we do agree on and work to an acccomodation from there.

Last time the US got into a spat over Canada the White House got destroyed by its opponents.
It seems that this time the US is doing the job for them:

Oh, Farage is claiming that he didn't say Reform would cut council tax. More than a little white lie, that.

British values include patience and kindness. They do not include envy, boasting or unwarranted pride or the dishonour of others. True Britishness does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

I actually own a Union Flag - and a St George's Cross too.
But mine are made with real linen, which I think was grown in the British Isles, and were stitched together in England, not printed on nylon or polyester in a far eastern sweatshop like the ones the plastic patriots attach to lampposts.

When Musk and Trump fund Reform they are funding their best.
They're funding candidates that have lots of problems and Musk wants them elected. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. They're wife beaters. They're thugs. They're ex Tory. And none, I assume, are good people.

Former Conservative James Evans has now joined Reform.
In his speech in Newport, where he was announced, he attacked the media for pointing out his former criticism of Nigel Farage's party.

In an interview with The New Statesman, Pedro Sánchez, Prime Minister of Spain, said the country “misses” the UK’s presence in the EU, and would support its return. It's time the Government listens, and continues to rekindle our relationship with the continent.

Hi Gorton & Denton, if you have anxiety, know that the Reform UK candidate, Matt Goodwin, thinks you have a mild mental health issue.
He doesn’t think you should be supported.

The UK was a founding member of the European Environment Agency over 30 years ago, yet left in 2021. Rejoining would enable the cooperations needed to tackle environmental threats - five of the EEA's 32 member countries are not in the EU, and the UK should be one more.

Your new leader Nigel Farage calls those that don’t “dishonourable members”.

A reminder:
Whislt 35.0% of the voters in Havant and Waterlooville chose a Conservative, just 18.1% wanted Reform - fewer that either Labour (22.9%) or the Lib Dems (19.0%).
An MP with honour would seek a by election in those circumstances but I doubt Braverman is bravenough.
