  Remember Chelsea getting rid of Salah, De Brunye and Lukaku for really low fees? Was impressive when they bought back the last at huge cost and it was a total bust

  Haaland’s “stay humble, eh” ages better with each humiliation and his stats since are through the floor like he’s morphing into Scandi Carroll (latter name not my idea but wish it was).

  Good question, I’m not sure but the impression I got (which wasn’t contradicted by the usual Reform fanboys) was that they were standing and weren’t winning. That’s said, if Reform do get elected as councillors I suspect it will end as it did for UKIP councillors ie not well.

  I think I’ve mentioned before that I knew a Reform candidate at the last GE who was named in Question Time/disowned by Reform; he always seemed a twat but having subsequently seen some of his online views is a disgusting racist twat. Top vetting by Reform (more likely his crime was saying the quiet part out loud) but how are they going to get enough candidates without hinterland to stand let alone get enough MPs elected to get Farage as PM (even with some sort of coalition, surely Reform would have to be the biggest party?).

  As hugo7 says above, there appears to be a ceiling for UKIP/Brexit Party/Reform and that’s even with their GB News propoganda channel. And while those who support the cult of Farage love him (and I’d suspect that would wither if he gets bored/sees an opportunity to get more money elsewhere), there are more significant numbers who absolutely loathe both him and what he espouses.

  I obviously have no idea, particularly four and a half years out, but I do think Reform popularity/reach is overplayed in both media and social media but if that’s wrong then we’re proper fucked

  I know it doesn’t directly translate to how votes would be cast in a General Election but since July Reform have won about 5 out of 160+ seats in local elections (and I think at least one was a former UKIP councillor returning to his natural home after a brief stay with the Conservatives), all their bluster about “a political tsunami” is just hot air.
