Farage deserves enormous credit - he has achieved amazing things including Brexit and supercharging Reform. Unfortunately, he is weak on this incredibly important topic. Overall, I think that Rupert Lowe MP must be the future of Reform (and the UK).
I think Farage has done the right thing. For those that think this would have helped Reform UK build a larger base are wrong. Why are they wrong 2 reasons, 1. For all those people that don't like Tommy but like Reform UK could amd may leave the party or drop support of Reform. The name Tommy Robinson is toxic to a very large amount of the UK populations and therefor for Reform to back Tommy or even a line with him could finish Reform off. 2. Millions of people see Tommy as TOXIC. ". Reform are at a very early stages of building a movement that we hope will replace the UNIparty and this will not be done by siding with Tommy. But 2 things can be true at the same time and that is Tommy supporters can still support Reform even though Reform don't support Tommy. Elon can support Tommy we can support Tommy but if you want to be the next political party running this country the truth is the party can not support Tommy even if it wanted too. You will not win over millions of people to a new party but the leadership supporting Tommy simple too toxic it's as simple as that. Weather you like it or not
It's a shame that things are not more unified, but Farage and Robinson are both very worthy people who are trying to achieve things differently. Farage is building a political party, and he is at a critical stage where they need to work out a set of detailed and integrated policies that can't be immediately dismissed by the media. Endorsing Tommy is very risky. There are many voters who are put off by him. And there is the further risk that Tommy's supporters, imported into Reform, might be the source of a few unfortunate incidents or some salty language. Tommy's great strength is that he is personally brave enough to state his case in his own way, let the consequences be as they may. Nigel has to be much more circumspect if he is building a party that has broad support.
They don't have to work together. They can both do massive amounts of good by working separately, at least for the moment. I'm watching and waiting.
Im not really a fan of him David. I do agree with him on some things not everything. I do prefer him over the Starmer and Badenoch. He's very wishy washy. He also went along with the first lockdown.
I agree Rupert Lowe would be better. I can't forgive or forget any politician who pushed the covid scam. I don't know I find it hard to trust any politician full stop. Of course I'd rather have reform over the uni party.
The hypocrisy of dismissing TR as a convicted criminal when exactly the same happened to Nelson Mandela and perhaps a more pertinent example Mr DJ Trump the President elect of the United States of America! a convicted felon as the Democrats are frequently telling us.

I’ve been a supporter of his since he first went to Brussels and I don’t say this lightly.
By being circumspect it means he is like all party leaders over the passed 40 years and is going to nothing 😡

Farage was pro Jab.
Farage is weak on Islam
Farage is a problem
Rupert Lowe would be a better leader.

Of course he is! He's maintaining the status quo by appealing to a particular group of people.
Representative government is obsolete because they are all doing the bidding of the house of Rothschild.
Tommy Robinson is an archetypal example of manufactured controlled opposition - as is Musk. Farage too.
This is theatre.
Remember how RFK attacked Trump. Vance (other one!😀) called him a c@@t.
Farage is bolstering his ‘independent’ status.
Let’s see if he refuses the cash.
Did Farage push for Tony War Criminal Blair to be the UK's covid czar? Is the Pope a pdf file? Does the sun rise in the morning?
The answer is an OBVIOUS and emphatic YES.
