Reform voters are just angry with the Conservatives and scared about a Labour supermajority. They're a protest vote and I can't see them lasting much longer if the Conservatives bother to produce MPs that aren't all bumbling incompetent fuckwits. It's a shame the moderate Conservatives got disproportionately screwed by the machinations of Johnson and Truss and the final ineptitude of Sunak. it's been a rogues gallery since May left and the Tories will need to find some grown ups to run things after this.

Farage isn't going to go to Parliament, he's going to be as terrible an MP as Johnson was. Can you see him tabling a motion, or sitting in a committee. He's going to be gallivanting around the world banging the sociopathic drum for his private narcissistic world. Those in the HOC would do well to point this out to the people of Clacton.

I've got faith in this particular collection of Labour. They haven't set expectations too high and I think they can bring competence and oversight. We have finally put some experts in the right places after the post Gove era of 'the country has had enough of experts'. I think they'll get some good reforms going on in the North and will be kept accountable by their own side. :o)
