Most Britons have never heard of the ridiculous Lowe or his party.

Who did they poll?
"Yesterday, Rupert Lowe MP launched a political party named Restore Britain. If there were a General Election tomorrow, how would you vote in that election?"

RFM: 25%
GRN: 20%
LAB: 15%
CON: 13%
RES: 10%
LDM: 10%

Left: Keir Starmer, "We are not the Britain of the Brexit years any more"

Right: Ursula von der Leyen, "Europe, in particular the UK, should come closer"

Anyone else fancy rejoining the EU?

I get why Matt posts this nonsense every day, outrage pays.
None of this is on the current government.
Open borders? Brexit.
Soft-on-crime chaos? Tories.
Highest taxes since the 1940s? Tories.
Shafted pensioners? Tories.
Farmers driven to despair? Brexit.
Hotels for migrants? Brexit + Tory failure.

We don’t have a functioning democracy when the people who lied to our faces to ‘get Brexit done’ are never held to account for the damage they’ve caused… and, worse still, are rewarded for life, for cynically or moronically selling our country out.

They deserve nothing but our contempt. Forever.
Toby Young, Matthew Elliott, Daniel Moylan, Claire Fox, Daniel Hannan, Michael Gove, Therese Coffey (a Brexit convert), Paul Goodman, John Moynihan, Ruth Lea, Stewart Jackson, Michael Hintze, Charles Moore, David Frost, Theo Agnew; & now John Redwood.

Rewarded for the Brexit calamity with peerages.
Ex Tory MP John Redwood has been made a peer, as Lord Redwood on 31 January, and was formally introduced in the Lords on Tuesday

This teenager saved his neighbor's dog from drowning in a freezing pond. This is Bernard. His family contacted emergency services right away, but high school senior Hugh Pinneo got to Bernard first. Hugh said he's "just glad I acted that day and saved the dog's life." We are too. 12/10 for all

History repeating itself?

UKIP under Nigel Farage controlled Thanet Council and nearly bankrupt it.

Reform UK under Nigel Farage controls Worcestershire Council and it’s on the verge of bankruptcy.

Never trust Reform UK. Imagine a country run by them. We'd be bankrupt with Trussite policies.

Yes, quite. It's the biggest scandal of this administration, so far, probably. It's an average Tuesday under Johnson.
OK this makes me extremely angry. Has everyone forgotten the massive profiteering from thousands of avoidable pandemic deaths?? The unconstitutional suspension of parliament to force through an act of nationalist destruction that cost our children their future??
“It’s potentially the biggest political scandal of this century”

Nigel Farage is going to "save pubs" by cutting 5p off the price of a pint of beer...

The £3 billion cost will be funded by reinstating the two-child benefit limit.

This might be the worst policy anyone has ever come up with.

Nigel Farage's party had promised to back scrapping the two-child benefit limit, but now Reform intends to funnel the support to the most vulnerable into slashing prices in pubs

What I find amusing about the Express' cinematic universe is that the UK is simultaneously free and thriving thanks to Brexit and poor and oppressed thanks to the current government. This dichotomy is also reflected in Mail/Telegraph etc but its at its most acute in the Express.

Where's the outrage we saw when Angela Rayner, who paid the wrong amount of tax on a property for her disabled son, & followed poor advice? She had a single breach of code for an amount ~10% of what Farage has tried to tax dodge.

When is he going to be made to resign due to media pressure?
