Here’s a question: given Farage’s habit of running away when the going gets tough, after perhaps the stupidest by-election of the century and his remarkably brief return to Parliament before we have to do the whole bloody thing again, there’s only one question left:

Has Farage already got his plimsolls on, ready for his next great escape? 🏃‍♂️💨

[Charlie @CheckCharlieB]

@Bull28533 Ordinary supporters or members are fine in my opinion but the likes of Braverwomen and Jendick and the other traitor's neverv

[Charlie @CheckCharlieB]

The Conservative Party has no issue with former Reform supporters or members choosing to join us.
If you share our values and want to help build a stronger Conservative Party, you’re welcome.

@NotFarLeftAtAll Terry's chocolate orange is in my mind

@JulesDProperty @chase_blount I'm on drums I like hitting stuff

[Charlie @CheckCharlieB]

@ArchiesPolitics Yes because in the coming months he's going to need his pimsols again.

[Charlie @CheckCharlieB]

@K8onX I like your confidence

Farage fatigue? More like Farage’s circus finally running out of paying customers.
Years of grievance, stunts, slogans and blaming everyone else but precious little delivery.

Reform sold themselves as a political revolution. Increasingly they look like a protest movement discovering that shouting “BETRAYAL!” on X isn’t actually a substitute for governing.
The wheels aren’t wobbling anymore. They’re coming off

@AderinolaRvaqn That's how you believe it to be

[Charlie @CheckCharlieB]

There’s clear evidence that the wheels are coming off the Reform bandwagon.

And, once again, Nigel Farage is the architect of his own downfall.

The problem with building an entire political movement around one man is simple: when that man starts wobbling, the whole thing wobbles with him.

@acameron78 @deanbegley1 @BenWallace70 @SuellaBraverman I wouldn't worry there's 75% of the country that doesn't want Farage

[Charlie @CheckCharlieB]

@deanbegley1 @BenWallace70 @SuellaBraverman I actually think she's a bit bonkers

[Charlie @CheckCharlieB]

@Lapthornsgrave @BenWallace70 @SuellaBraverman That actually started under Blair's massive strategic review

[Charlie @CheckCharlieB]

@SamW4Reform @my1boytheo1 You put party before veterans.

[Charlie @CheckCharlieB]

I wonder how many Reform supporters are actually willing to defend Zia Yusuf calling Ben Wallace a traitor to Britain.

Wallace served in the British Army, was Defence Secretary and spent years dealing directly with the threats facing this country

So come on, Reform supporters  defend it. I’m listening.

[Charlie @CheckCharlieB]

@joe022020 Soon I hope

[Charlie @CheckCharlieB]

This is embarrassing for sloppy Suzy. If you’re going to publicly attack Ben Wallace, at least know the difference between ARAP and ACRS first.

Wallace hasn’t just answered the criticism he’s dismantled the premise of it. Leaving the Conservative Party doesn’t magically rewrite your own record in government.

[Rt. Hon Ben Wallace @BenWallace70]

love the way you dont even know the different schemes. You were in charge of the ACRS scheme at the Home Office that did NO vetting and let in 20k plus . MoD ARAP was for those that helped Defence and Security and was fully backed by Nigel Farage and Richard Tice! ARAP did vet and it was in trying to vet that the data leak took place.

[Steve Loftus @LoftusSteve]

Ben Wallace's military career vs Zia Yusuf's military career

[Charlie @CheckCharlieB]

@The_Steve_James It can't be that pointless you replied

[Charlie @CheckCharlieB]

There’s something deeply odd going on here.

Reform announces an unworkable policy applause

Farage holds a press conference looking like a pissed magician who’s forgotten where he left the rabbit applause.

Then Zia Yusuf attacks a British Army veteran and former Defence Secretary and, unbelievably, more applause.

At what point did patriotism become blindly applauding absolutely anything your political tribe tells you to?

I refuse to believe ordinary British people are this gullible. So either the Reform fan club has completely abandoned critical thinking, or someone needs to check how many roubles you can fit into a crypto wallet.

Two weeks ago I told Burnham to change course on early release.

A week ago he exempted rapists and paedophiles. Today he's "looking at" stopping PC Harper's killers being released.

The victims have suffered enough. The delays & excuses are making it worse. The PM needs to act.
