It's excellent news. I'm technically a supporter as I paid my £25, but like Eleanor the Lowe issue put me off. But there's a lot that can happen in the next couple of years, and anything that increases the pressure on Starmer is good news. At the very least, it will become harder to label the majority as "far right".

‘Further, Faster’ is the mindset of an old school bank robber. As they hear the police sirens in the distance, they speed up the theft, taking as much as they can as quickly as they can. Then they run like hell, and don’t think twice about the damage caused. And definitely don’t be afraid to disable or maim anyone that gets in the way of the job.

I am not a big Reform cheerleader since they did the dirty on Lowe but I certainly don't trust the Tories - Jenrick is talking tough but the Tories ALWAYS lie especially on controlling immigration.

The Lowe issue actually put me off Rupert Lowe, strangely enough.

Yes very strange - I think actually coming through with a rape Gang Inqury and supporting mass deportations as Lowe has done rather than Nigel's flip flopping on those two vital issues is to Lowe's credit - but there you go, I guess Rupert doesn't do the indoor firework displays with Mohammad Yusuf which seems to please the Nigel fangirls!

I'm not a fan of Nigel Farage or a Party person, but Lowe was elected on the Reform ticket. Would he have been elected without Farage? It seems that Lowe's ego got the better of him. I also think it was unwise to write on Twitter that our culture was superior, even if he thought that. It's difficult enough as it is to break this 2-Party System we've had since the beginning of the 20th Century, so I don't know what Lowe hoped to achieve. Personally, I think Zia Yusuf is an asset to Reform because he is one of the very many Muslims who appreciate this country, have done well here and do not want it turned into another Pakistan.

Mohammad Yusuf came out of nowhere and suddenly he is chairman. Many have said they think Nigel's plan is to install Mohammad as PM if he gets in in 2029. Nigel was unable to answer the simple question "Do you want to be PM?" when asked by Chris Hope on GB News! And Nigel does have a history of resigning just as he gets over the final hurdle.

So we may get our first Muslim PM by the backdoor which may please you enormously but I somehow think that getting a PM from the "religion of peace" may not be a great fit especially when they have caused so many problems.

Labour must have been sick to their back teeth that the postal voters didn’t secure it for them. Oh well…
