He's the third most significant post-war politician after Thatcher and Blair
Who, yesterday's man Farage? I'd put him in the same bracket as one hit wonder Galloway but even George managed to get elected to Westminster.
I'd genuinely forgotten he existed until 4 weeks ago.

Sorry for the at but this thread moves fast .
I want to say “but the money in the Conservative Party won’t let the headbangers take over” but well. Here we are.

Farage might be electoral vegemite but look what he's achieved. He's the third most significant post-war politician after Thatcher and Blair. He might turn out to be even more significant than them in the end. It's possible - I'd say probable - the Tory party will merge with Reform. We've got used to that extraordinary idea very quickly. Either way, the opposition to Labour will be 'Faragist' whoever is the leader either of a rump Conservative party or the all new Tory Reform party.
