I bow to no one in my admiration of Nigel Farage.
I first met him more than 25 years ago when running the old Talk Radio and he couldn’t find any media prepared to carry his message. The talk gave him a small platform.
Since then he has grown to be a massive force in politics and although never having been an MP yet wielded enough power to force Cameron into holding the Brexit vote. An astonishing political achievement.
Today he spends his time running an enormously successful show on GB News and showing more and more ankle when asked the question; Will you come back to lead the Reform party for the November General Election.

The answer to that question is; Of course, he will.
And that is where the problem is. The reality is that without Reform the Tories would do poorly leaving Labour with a 50-seat majority.
With Reform putting up candidates in every constituency Labour would win a 200-seat majority and possibly be in power for a decade or more.
What Reform says is that with the Tories destroyed they would then create a new Right-wing offering to the public, would win power in 2029 and then bring in proportional representation.
I say that is a pipe dream. But what isn’t a dream but a nightmare is the idea that Starmer and his union mates have untrammelled power for years and years.
If you want that vote for Reform. If you don’t plead with Nigel to stay on GB News.
