Reform is approved Opposition

Meet the unofficial of the Reform Party. His name is Nick Knowles. He is also the guy who fronts up the alleged hard left grifter group Hope not Hate.

Now, you might wonder why I am saying that he is the unofficial leader of Reform and the answer is that he appears to get to pick their general election candidates. Most recently, his hateful organisation ran a hit piece on three official Reform candidates. This was standard left wing trolling and any authentic leader would have sent them packing.

Benjamin Dade haș been sacked. Ginny Ball has been sacked. Roger Hoe has been sacked.

And their crime? Hope not Hate didn’t like some of their social media posts! Now I would have thought that would be seen as an endorsement but Reform Leader Richard Tice sees it rather differently and he has done what Hope not Hate want and sacrificed perfectly sensible candidates to try and stay “respectable”. I think we need to call this for what it is - utter cowardice and a clear red flag that Tice cannot be trusted and that means there are big questions for Reform as a Party. Are they allowed to flourish in the polls because they are controlled opposition?
