Born in Yorkshire in the last century before we had a National Health Service. My father was a coal miner who was part of the trade union movement. I was brought up to respect and listen to the opinions of others.
Farage is and was a horror. The sad thing is that most of his followers neither recognise this nor care a fig about it. The Reform bunch has no social conscience and glories in the negative, destructive stance of their leader.

Once they binge, they really binge. Greed of any kind is distasteful. Farage is riddled with arrogance and complacency, salivating at the prospect of personal power.

Money for old rope? Probably not as good a rate as Farage reaps for his parliamentary efforts and attendances.

Forty some years ago, my 12 year old son reached the final of a tennis tournament in our village. Due to inclement weather half an hour before the start, the other finalist did not show up. By default, my boy was declared the winner. We still refer to him proudly as our tennis champion🏆.

A true representative of the electorate of Clacton. Boy, have those people been used for Farage's personal gain.

Reform's favourite party game " Change the leader as many times as you can before anyone realises you don't know what the hell you are doing"

I am not surprised they are welcoming more ex-tory liabilities in Reform. They are the only people with a smidgen of political experience to replace the misfits who have resigned or been sacked within local government. Reject after reject does not bode well for Farage.

Chris Mason is an utter disgrace. Along with his crony Kuenssberg, they are freeloading on the license payers. This is not public service broadcasting, it is spiteful personal agenda bitching. Shame on them and their self gratifying justification.

I would much prefer this councillor to jump off a public building on Christmas Day than worry about attempting to fly any sort of flag from any sort of building.

Has he folded under pressure? Are they ready for government? There is not a cat in hell's chance of the Reform party succeeding in running this country successfully.

Was he out celebrating his good fortune in gulling the electorate of Tameside? No doubt he will be using taxis now and charging it as a justified expense.
