The Reform/Tory right sat and watched the Tories drive this country into a ditch for 14 yrs. Spiralling taxes, immigration and cost of living. Infrastructure crumbling. Then within a yr of Labour they’re suddenly mad as hell and marching in the streets. Partisan, tribal politics.
Tories housed immigrants in Britannia hotels, nobody cared. Suddenly, under Labour, it’s an issue. We constantly underestimate how much “anti immigration” focussed activity is actually generated by right wingers who have simply lost their minds over losing to Labour in GE.
Never watched a single show with Greg Wallace in & never knew who he was / his name before scandal broke, largely because I’m *instinctively* ick about mediocre middle aged men with low key but very obvious creep vibes, so avoid Saturday Kitchen etc like plague.
The Venn diagram of Reform right types who go on about reclaiming UK as a Christian country whilst doing absolutely nothing actively Christian including something as basic as Ever Go To Church, is a circle.

Two days before the 2016 Brexit referendum, Daniel Hannan wrote about what life would be like in Britain on 24 June 2025 if we voted to Leave.
A week ago, he wrote in the Telegraph that Britain is turning into a third world country.
He got paid for both articles.
Andrew Neil questioning other people’s work ethic is an absolute joke.

Imagine your whole pitch being “man of the people” and then constantly drawing attention to the elite metropolitan restaurants you go to, and also knowing your followers are too stupid to realise how dumb this is
There’s a generation who’ve been retired since the millennium. Millions of people who have done nothing for over two decades. 25 years of doing nothing all day except watch Cash In The Attic and sport on TV.
25 yrs of pottering about at their leisure. We’ll never have that
Interesting that nobody at any point has ever questioned the gender of Liverpool attacker. Everybody automatically just assumes it’s a man, and it is a man. The single identity characteristic shared by literally every mass attacker, and it’s treated as a non-issue.
Unless you dip into online Reform right socials occasionally you have no idea how obsessed they are with immigration. It’s the only thing they care about. Zero interest in any other aspect of how a country is run. Everything else, if discussed at all, is through that lens.
My observation as a teacher & parent is that have an epidemic of parents who have opted out of the hard work of parenting. Parents who don’t enjoy being parents because they can’t be bothered to parent, and consequently are raising unlikable kids they don’t like being around.
I think January 6th-ness of far right melt down in U.K. has been deeply
underestimated. These are people whose identity is fully wrapped up in online culture war & for first time in socials-dominated era, they have a left-wing gov’t. And they’ve just totally lost their minds.
The more the acream and yell, and the more it changes nothing, the more unhinged they become. The racism more overt. The spluttering hyperbole around the bland Starmer more crazy-eyed and deranged. They lost, and can’t get over it.
