Question time leaders special on 23:09 - Jun 20 by JumpingJackFlash
Slightly odd to have the SNP there as they only apply to Scotland. Otherwise every party leader there (including SNP) has at least 15 elected MPs. Reform has none. Plaid and Green have more right than Reform on that basis alone.
The SNP had 43 MP's in Westminster up until dissolution.

Farage, is a nasty piece of work. Apparently, he has praised Andrew Tate and insulted those on benefits.
Link ?
I’ve seen it, the mainstream once again taking things out of context to influence their readership. They do the same with anyone, not just Farage that is in anyway a threat.

I’m not sure about that.
Farage has been on Question Time 10 times in the last 10 years. For some of that he’s been out of frontline politics too.
This is an election special, minus certain party leaders. I realise Galloway is in an extreme minority but he and Farage would take the Tory’s and Labour to the cleaners.

Who knows, but that's what they did to Corbyn, character assassination.

Yep. There's absolutely no accountability for the crazy things he says.
A little part of me thinks the best thing would be for Reform to win about 30 seats and watch Farage spend the next 5 years trying to defend the lunatic stuff his poorly vetted MPs spout out in the HoC.
Poorly vetted, well I think the three main parties may have a case to answer there too, over the years. The tories certainly have a knack for picking totally unsuitable people and then defending them for being compete, blithering idiots! Think Pincher, Paterson, Imran Ahmad Khan, Bojo...hang on...

Different situation, Cat.
The Reform candidates were rushed through and I believe they’ve lost three already. Farage says he’ll sue the vetting firm.
You’ve definitely identified a rogues gallery but there’s no way my local reform candidate would have got through any other parties vetting.
Hang on, to me that makes it even worse. If reform rushed t through but the others took their time and STILL ended up with a proper rogues gallery, what does that say?

This has developed into a worthy Forum debate if only there were not so many overstated sweeping statements, ie ALL####are crooked ALL #### are stupid. It completely undermines good points that are being made. Anyway, Farage is a self indulgent tosser who idolises Trump and...it easy to get carried away though isn't it?
I just watched Starmer say there are too many self entitled people in politics.
Sweeping statements maybe but they are fairly accurate as the last 14 years have shown.
I posted a list of how many MP's have been suspended by their party since 2019. There's a lot of them. The betting scandal recently. How many MP's can you name that you 100% believe to be good and capable people?

Why were they rushed through though? It’s not as if the election is a massive surprise. They knew it had to be this year. They’ve had plenty of time to select decent candidates.

Farage himself believed the election would be in the Autumn, and no he didn't bet on it.
