Agree entirely. I think Rupert has made a mistake here. He needs to keep his powder dry a bit longer but I suspect he wants the publicity and to make Reform stay to the right. I see his point but Burnham in Parliament can only cause trouble. Still, it would serve Starmer right and ensure Labour gets totally demolished at the next GE.
What 'inducements' were you offered to stand aside for sleaze Burnham Mr.Simons? A stipend for life on the red benches perhaps? A new suit from 'Lord' Alli? A night out clubbing with Rayner?
Here's a thought ... LET REFORM STAND DOWN and give Restore a free shot. Restore stood no candidates outside Gt.Yarmouth in the recent council elections so why not? If it begins to look like Farage ever getting near any power and responsibility he will cut and run as always. He is the 'eternal back bencher' as he cannot tolerate flak from any direction.
Remember the 2019 GE? How did that work out for the Brexit Party after Farage sabotaged it?
BBC: Nigel Farage has ditched plans to take on the Tories in more than 300 seats, after what he said was Boris Johnson's "shift of position" on Brexit.
The Brexit Party leader had planned to run candidates in 600 seats after Mr Johnson rejected his offer of a "Leave alliance" to deliver Brexit.
But he has been under pressure not to split the pro-Brexit vote.
The party will not now stand in 317 seats won by the Tories in 2017, but will continue to stand elsewhere. End
You stand firm Rebecca and I hope you do well. THAT IS HOW DEMOCRACY WORKS. Not by grubby little under the counter deals.
Well said Mick and I’m right behind you on this one. Rebecca is a very good lady, not a career politician but a local business woman who cares deeply about her community and the people who live in it. She has a good foothold in many different areas and specialises in SEND for children. Good for her and I wish I was free to go campaigning on her behalf this weekend.
Agreed. I like Rupert Lowe, and other other circumstances would vote for his candidate in my constituency.
But this is not those "other circumstances". I hope RL sees sense and pulls his candidate from this one. This is about stopping Burnham, which is a prize worth almost any sacrifice.

The oft quoted 7% for Restore is based on a poll of less than 400 people.
I understand it was also in a wealthier part of the constituency so is rather meaningless.
The attacks by Reform on Restore will hardly persuade them to withdraw.
I’m all for a fractious by election.
I’m tired of vote for this party to stop that party getting in, I’ve heard it all my life. It’s why we’re in the state we are.
It’s a by election, vote for who you believe in rather than who you don’t believe in.
Fair points
Agreed. I like Rupert Lowe, and other other circumstances would vote for his candidate in my constituency.
But this is not those "other circumstances". I hope RL sees sense and pulls his candidate from this one. This is about stopping Burnham, which is a prize worth almost any sacrifice.
Totally agree
Let's hope that the people will understand this and not throwaway the chance of bursting AB's bubble.
ANOTHER PAIR OF PIECES OF THE JIGSAW!
They are all a nest of vipers to any who would destroy their system!
