He is an Egomaniac - he only bought Twatter cos he wanted to be seen as rich, wonderful and an all round superb bloke.

He probably thinks this is how the world sees him.

He is also probably angry, as are Farage and others, that Starmer and the police seem to have managed these riots so damn well. I doff my cap to them.

Maybe he has a bet with another multi billionaire as to how fast he can f**k up his businesses - a single USD bet.

The problem is that his followers, like with tRump, will suck this sort of thing up even though we all know it is utter bollocks.

But we know now that his followers are the noisy minority. 

 

From Yougov on 8th August

"Nigel Farage’s ratings have also fallen since last week, with the Reform UK leader experiencing a seven point decline in his net favourability score. Currently 25% of Britons have a favourable opinion of Farage (down two points), while 67% have an unfavourable view (up five points).

 

Excluding Reform voters, among whom he holds an overwhelmingly positive net score of +78, Farage now holds a negative rating among every group of the British public. This includes Leave voters for the first time, with Farage now scoring -4 among those who cast their ballot in favour of Brexit, down from +7 last week.

 

While some have touted him as a potential leader of the Conservatives, 2024 Tory voters in particular seem to have changed their minds on Farage in the last week, with the number holding an unfavourable view rising nine points from 52% to 61%. Our study on the public’s reaction to the recent rioting shows that 47% of people believe Farage holds a great deal or fair amount of responsibility for the rioting, a figure which includes around three in ten Conservative and Leave voters (29-34%)."

Last I saw the PM was minus 4

Not disagreeing that he is unpopular but aren't pretty much all politicians at the moment?

Just doing a poll like that shows how far towards the gutter the UK has come.

Interesting distribution among Lib Dems. Second only to the greens for those who strongly disagree, yet not far off the Tories (or even Reform) for strongly agree. Anyone would think they lack focus.

Indeed, that seems sooooooo far from the yougov poll a few days ago, where 16 % who were mostly reform thought rioters had legit concern and most others thought they were thugs

Just Elon putting another log on the fire... 

 

[steviewevie]

the next leader of the official opposition?

 

[lost]

She's suffered a setback today. Might be seen as too left wing to get voters back from reform now:

Tice is such a twat. Immigration crisis?

I guess international student numbers will drop and Unis will ask for more cash to make up for it which they might struggle to get and so some might make major cuts or even collapse and Tice will celebrate as they just teach people to be woke anyway.
