The channel winds haven’t blown his satellite dish off though. Wonder what the car keys are in the bowl for Romney Marsh?

It’d all be 4x4s and Chelsea Tractors up here

That's not a satellite dish. That's the Swing-dar detector he has attached to his head.

Could still pick up TNT Sports with it though. Good for the autumn rugby internationals.

It comes to something when you get your arse kicked by Fiona Bruce.

Tice constantly spoke over the other panelists and made himself look a complete twat.

He was also put on the spot about Rupert Lowe’s comments about Farage.

Is Trump going to make life difficult for Reform? The likes of Farage and Tice are closely associated with the lying  Orange cunt. They are trying to row back on previous comments and endorsements of Trump but the more nonsense that comes out from Trump, the more difficult it is for them not to be connected by association. The QT audience certainly showed what they thought when Bruce told Tice  to shut up. 

Add in squabbling amongst their MPs (I hope that Rupert Lowe, when he is Reform leader, doesn't expect to win any Southampton MPs😁) and the future may not be that bright for Reform.

Elon’s fucked Reform properly there and put the skids under Farage. Lowe got taken in by it and picked a fight with Farage. Still not learned after his spell as Saints Chair.

Likes of the Telegraph and Mail will lap this up

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c80yd11nm73o

Farage can’t be outshone. He is an egotist after all. Clearly a hit job to show Lowe who’s boss — though I think Farage and Zia Yusuf may find the members would rather back who they see as the more impressive (in Reform terms) MP.

He’s had the whip removed. Perhaps unsurprising as old Rupes has been in the spotlight a bit too much recently for Farage’s liking.

Suddenly it looks like Reform isn't a political party after all but a raft of companies that Farage controls and uses to finance his lifestyle.

We're all staggered to discover this, especially Rupert, who is normally first with his snout in the trough.

Poor old Nige. He knows that it is electoral suicide to come out against Ukraine in the UK but at the same time he has got his nose firmly up the arses of Trump and Putin. At least the Lowe situation will take some of the pressure off but his small party has just got smaller and with any luck the British public who were thinking it was a good idea to go with Reform will now see them for what they are.

Agreed. Never a serious party, especially given the Musk backing then not backing and then his PDA that Rupert Lowe was the best Reform MP ... always going to go one way.

Lowe's been using linkedin as a political tool for a while now. Fair to say he doesn't get masses of engagement.

Anyways, he posted this late last night.

He'd need a personality transplant to use it in any other way. 🙂

Surprised Tice or Farage haven’t had a pop yet about how many people Rupert fell out with as SFC Chair - Wiseman, Trant, Crouch, numerous managers, Lawrie, Mary Corbett - and plenty more. Mind you, Nigel Farage has just as a big a list, probably more than Rupert. 

Never going to end happily was it?

I expect that Farage and Tice would like to airbrush Lowe’s stay at Southampton. 2 relegations and a bankruptcy is hardly a great endorsement for someone who would like to run the country.

He's got other business failings on his CV and some unusual links to the Sunaks - the people of Great Yarmouth can't moan now, they've got exactly what they voted for.

Ditto Clacton.

I’m enjoying the delicious irony in Nigel Farage, the UK’s champion of free speech, getting his knickers in a twist about…you guessed it…a member of his own political party exercising his own right to free speech.

Has he got his knickers in a twist?  I can't see that Farage has said anything on this yet?  Unless I've missed it

Apart from writing about it in the Telegraph, and somebody must have reported it to the Met.

This just sums up the far right in this country, essentially Farage is the only one who is actually electable (Tice and 30p Lee perhaps) but as soon as he needs to grow his party and bring in more people it just ends up introducing people who are either publicly unappealing or unable to stay on script (which is quite important if you want to be a major party).  

Have to say I'm surprised with how quickly it's fallen apart but I think it shows the futility of having popularity before you've actually established the party properly.

Nigel is a man of the people - unless he has to meet with them face to face about their problems rather than staged photo ops at off-licences or hair salons https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cvgx9nyep7vo and https://www.essexlive.news/news/essex-news/nigel-farage-insists-its-too-9700306

Is at least doing Zoom meetings by now for triaged priorities which is an improvement. Most MPs have caseworkers.

Clacton will re-elect him in 2029, I’d wager a big lump of money in that. Wayne the plumber and Sharon the hairdresser see him as having raised their town’s profile. Which is true. Yarmouth and Lowe, and the other non-entities they select as candidates - Lord knows?

I can just imagine Farage in old fashioned aviation goggles getting ready to fly over Yarmouth with that.

He doesn't have a good track record in planes

Nobody has mentioned Rupert Lowe?  Have we all moved on or are there some who still remember his treachery?

Yep. Not one person has mentioned him. None.
