And this is spot on. No other political figure or party gets so little scrutiny. And it’s not like there isn’t a track record…
Corruption, Russia-links, Trump-christofascist-links, Brexit, racism, total incompetence in Reform-run councils…
A dangerous clowncar revving up to drive us into the wall.
Instead, what we are starting to see is an attempt to sanitise and cleanse Farage ahead of his potential rise to the premiership. We can see this in the many pieces, from the likes of Nick Robinson, to the BBC, trying to portray Farage and his party as being a "serious" prospect for high office, as opposed to the disastrous joke a Reform Government would actually be. You can see this also in the relative lack of media interest in what Reform is already doing in local Government. Just like Johnson, who was only ever covered by the national media from the framing of his personality-based rivalry with his old Etonian school friend, rather than what he was actually doing in London, so too is the substance of what Farage's party is already up to in office being similarly glossed over. The result is that by the time that we get to the next general election, there is unlikely to have been much scrutiny, aside from by a small number of independent publications like Byline Times, of what the reality of a Reform Government would actually look like.
