    Oh great, now we’re going to have a load of Putin supporting bilge from the right-wing shit-pipes over here now.

      We clearly need to step it up

      Can we drench him in whatever stink bombs are made of? Or henna? Maybe litres of red food colouring?

      Something he can’t wash off

      He can go help defend the Russian occupiers in Crimea when Ukraine cuts them off and starts hunting them down.

      issue is his supporters will see milkshake and think left wing elite. We need a farmer with a muck spreader.

    Instead of trying to screw over our country any more, why don’t you just go and enlist?

      His gravestone will read, it was all the EUs fault. He can’t let it go. He is both talentless and an egomaniac, it makes for an annoying combination.

    I think what has been enlightening about this election is seeing how many ‘own goals’ the Reform party are scoring now that they’ve been given enough rope to hang themselves with. It reminds me of when they let Nick Griffon on Question Time back in 2009/10 and he absolutely withered under scrutiny.

    Yes, there will be a hardcore of people who are going to vote for Reform - maybe even because of gaffes like this. However this is repellent to the wider electorate. Imagine if they were semi-competent and just ran as populist Tories without letting the mask slip immediately. Personally, I’d be much more concerned.

    Farage presumably sympathises with the milkshake throwers, who only did so because they’d been provoked.

    On one hand, Farage is a massive cunt, an enemy of the state, and the man responsible for irreparable damage to UK politics due to Brexit.

    On the other, if Reform is going to run against the Tories, there’s a real opportunity his tinpot party takes the Gammon/flag-shagger vote away from Sunak’s populist run as Tory leader, and in a month we see the Tory party get absolutely annihilated.

    Years ago, I said that it was quite sad to see that Conservative’s had lost their party to the populism of the Boris era, because many MP’s that wanted to see a strong union (bear in mind the full name of the Tories is the Conservative and Unionist Party) were expelled from the party and ostracised to make room for grifters under BoJo. While I’m no conservative, many voters value conservatism in their politics, and while I don’t like Starmer much either, he’s basically the closest thing to a Conservative AND a Liberal in major party politics in the UK.

    My vote is probably with the Greens this year, but in many areas Labour should absolutely destroy the Tories, hopefully to the point where they become the third or fourth party in the UK.

      No, he’s a lying toerag. He says that Trump won but he thinks ordinary people are stupid and will believe him because he’s so blokey. Turd.
