I was born and bred a Tory, my parents were Tories and my grandparents were Tories. I am nearly 80 and have been Tory all my life. I have spent time knocking on doors and doing other work for the Tories. Never again as long as we have people like this running the Tory party I will be voting reform.
The Tories had their chance 14ys creatored this mess gave Labour the baton ah the rest is history. Now you just interested who is going to be the next leader. Do your job and stop labour.
This guy is full of BS.. he has ZERO intention of reducing immigration, whether that's legal or illegal. Seriously.. we all have to vote Reform from now on. They are the only party that will do ANYTHING about immigration. The traditional left/right divides have to be put aside in order to stop mass immigration. I would even vote for a leftist party if it implement a net zero immigration policy.
Farage a "popularist" ? Well doesn't that describe just about all politicians anyway. Show me a politician who doesn't want to be popular. The tories didn't do what they promised to do. Repeatedly again and again. That makes them untrustworthy. Farage didn't have to come back. He had a nice cushy job on TV with the possibility to make much more money in USA. So I think this assessment of "poularist" is rather churlish.
You mean he 'made it worse' by just not lying like a politician should? The Tories are a dead party now,. This whole thing should have been an EASY win for them. They should have shown balanced leadership, called out Starmer, exposed his lies, his refusal to listen to the people and acknowledge the problem... But they bottled it, and instead went after Farage. Why aren't the Tories pressuring Starmer to tell the people WHY all those little girls were killed? Parents in this country need to know and they're still in the dark.
Exactly well said this constant attack on other people needs to be stop farage what he said should be looked into mostly likely what he says is the truth if he isn't then he should be held accountable but that goes for all politicians. This is why the truth needs to be told the data and statistics the whole information should be reported on. Where is the data on crimes being committed the criminals involved who, what, where and what backgrounds etc need to be revealed same on housing, welfare etc. Use the data and statistics so no race card or other card can be played.
They don’t care about Britain, like Labour, like Lib Dem’s, and like the political class in the UsA this is all about tribalism and power. In the Anglo sphere our politicians have betrayed us. There must be a reckoning. Democracy, as it stands, is not working, they don’t represent the majority any more and they constantly lie, even about their own policies. The serious trouble brewing is down to one thing - poor political leadership.
Mel Stride wants the public to vote the Tories back into power. The public reply must be : Sorry Mel. Once bitten, twice shy. Once bitten for 14 years, now twice shy for at least 28 years.
@danilogomez7148 No, it's not, it means Labour could lose councils who they bankrupt, like they did Birmingham and other councils, they controlled, Labour are not going to likely that. It's never too late.
You have about as much chance of winning as I have. Makes me laugh how you and your cronies have the nerve to turn your noses up at Nigel Farage. Nonentities, the lot of you.
They’d be better to invite Nigel Farage to go lead them. He’s more of a conservative and a leader than any of the contenders. They surely must realise they badly need help or do they still have their head in a dark place? Go beg Nigel for help or face the consequences.
or the MASSIVE levels of LEGAL immigration they promised to stop. 1.5 million net in the last two years. Bloody ridiculous. Mass immigration has not improved a SINGLE aspect of the standard of living in this country.
What is wrong with populism and populists? As far as the populists Brits are concerned it is a case of one down, one to go, concerning the Tory/Labour uniparty and good riddance to both! So say all of us!
The man hasn't got a clue about how sick and tired people are of the duplicitous tories. As far as I'm concerned, the Conservative Party is finished as a credible political organisation.
Patel said she would fight tooth and nail to stop the boats The reality was, she didn't. Now she has doubled down on the opposition to Farage, the man the Tories should be working with, not against. This guy offers nothing but the usual, tired old platitudes.
The elites don't let them stop these politicians are controlled which they should reveal and tell the truth instead they waste time fighting and wasting money.
I've voted Conservative because they promised to get things done,never again we've been kicked in the nuts for far to long. Nothing wrong with Farage pal.
Policies to win back Reform voters? One problem. We will never believe a word the Tories say ever again! Broken promise after broken promise! We are done with the Tories. Stop blaming Farage and start looking in the mirror.
I dont remember him tearing a strip off any of the Tory leaders when one after another they broke their promises .From Cameron to Sunak ,absolute failures and liars and he supported them.
Ive never voted for any of them, but i did for reform and became a member as i believe in them, they have common sense, sick of all these career politians and who want to ruin our country
Nah, Refusing the results of democracy for 14 years made "things worse". Should have respected democracy, shouldn't have passed human rights breaking laws...... you Tories might not have been voted out but you went against the people....and now you're not getting back in.
The UniParty promisting that THIS time they will listen to the people... just come back to the fold Listening to this dude he is just playing games and is not going to change at all...
It is not populism Mel Stride! It is being Conservative! A real Conservative. Nigel Farage answers questions. You do not. You are like Rishi Sunak not a real conservative. You will not let us leave the E.C.H.R. . Its seems you are a one nation, not real conservative. remainer.
I believe it doesn’t matter who leads to Conservative Party . The British people have lost their trust in them. And them people have now put there trust in the reform party
For God’s sake The Tories need a leader with charisma, one of the main criticisms of Kier Starmer. Mel Stride is utterly boring, has zero credibility and even less charisma. I have been a member of the Conservative Party for many years and will never vote for him. And, if he is elected, I will cancel my membership.
Cancel your membership now. The Tories are toast! Not one of their candidates for leadership is fit for purpose. The Party is led by one nation Tories. When I heard CCHQ had refused Lord Frost to stand as an MP, that did it for me! Join Reform instead.
I dont care what you call Nigel. He talks sense and will deliver for british working class. Nof bothered about ones character that does not get results but only false promises from conservative party past 14 years. Public need to forget about conservative party now and vote reform
How does he explain that 4 manifestos and a referendum were ignored by his party. Democracy is dead and buried in this country. Does he have a plan to deal with that.?
So, he wants to listen to the members, but doesnt want the kind of politics that the members want and the country desperately needs. Constantly focussing on benefiting foreigners who often hate this country is never going to have good outcomes.
Tories have merely become Socialist Lite -- Stride included, as evidenced by his idea of populism, and certainly his swipes at both Farage and the US. If he wants the British people's support, he needs to stop worrying so much about Tory power vs. Reform, and start worrying about uniting EVERYONE against Starner & Co. That's what 'opposition' is supposed to do, after all. Stay strong, UK.
Thank you for inviting this character, he is excellent at explaining why we all need to support, and vote for, Nigel, Richard & Co of the far superior REFORM party! Tories are now surplus to UK citizen requirements.
Nigel Farage is not a populist… he’s responding to the feelings and thoughts of Patriotics British people who’ve been marginalised by both Labour and Tories.
Yeah, that's a populist. There's nothing wrong with populism when your government is corrupt to the core. Julius Caesar was a populist. They unlifed him for their own selfish goals. Career politicians despise populists because they do the people's will, instead of trying to control and subvert it.
Instead of putting labels on everyone it would be more useful to sort out the massive list of problems we have. There is nothing wrong with being a populist either. Surely in a democracy thats what all MPs should be?
oh dear, this just sounds like a load of fluff no substance. Britain needs strong leadership that stands up for the people. Not a hot bag of air that stands for nothing.
For the UK's sake, stop fighting each other for power, and unite against the sworn foe of your people, culture, communities, safety, security and peace.
Expect both Labour and Conservative parties to ridicule the Reform party as Reform gains popularity. They are both scared about the rise of Reform and will do anything they can to discredit Reform.
