Politics - The Non-Brexit Thread.

^If it's the clip from TPUK that a quick Google throws up with a female Inspector Visiting a home with a bird cooking in the pot and white feathers in the bin, then it's from BBC Animal Squad. Season 1 Episode 4. The Birds were stolen Ducks.

^ looks like it is from the description. From 2010. If that really is where Farage is getting his info from he really is a bloody fraud and con merchant (oh sorry that sounds like we don't already know that) Of course TP UK didn't even exist anywhere then as was only founded in the USA in 2012.

I do recall that there were reports at that time that suggested swans were being targeted in the park, but soon disappeared.
I am beginning to think having Farage as PM would not be a very good idea given how buddy he is with Trump.

Caerphilly by election for the Senedd results are in and Labour lose the seat to Plaid Cymru. Whilst the Senedd has only existed since the end of the 29th century it is the first defeat Labour have had in that area for 100 yrs.

Plaid Cymru: 47.4% (+19%)

Reform: 36% (+32.4%)

Labour: 11% (-34.9%)

Conservative: 2% (-15.3%)

This Flim Flam Man was actually given TV time this morning...might have been Sky News but I'm not sure.

Nadhim Zahawi is the latest & biggest name to join Reform Party from The Conservative Party.

Biggest name maybe but still very much the case that Reform is becoming the home for the dregs of The Tory Party

Most of them are ex mps,and should remain ex mps.

Reports this morning suggesting Zahawi was lobbying for a peerage but got knocked back, so he jumped in bed with Farage instead.

Sounds perfectly feasible, can't imagine he has quite the pull of some others to be making big bucks on the after dinner speech market, so had to try something else to try to stay relevant.

I was presume Farage wanted him for his tax expertise
