@thotline_news: 12th August 2026 - Just my opinion. The fundementals of Farage's campaign don't really work anymore and that's part of why he's struggling.... #nigelfarage #reformuk #farright ##countbinface #andyburnham

Steve :

I think trump has killed right wing politics globally bc we can see how that turns out for America

Potyka32 :

Farages downfall is binevitable

HJ starlight 🏳️‍⚧️ AuDHD :

Farage is a discount Trump basically... either way you'll get screwed

george🎸 :

with the downfall of reform you have to then ask the question, where will these voters turn to? especially since restore aren't gaining as much traction anymore especially after the whole merging with reform debacle. either there will be the same sort of party arise with similar slogans, or people will move towards the tories again

WILLIAM :

In real life limited, online it’s just bots.

Banjo Snap :

unfortunately for them, the only path for scaremongering is to incite misery. Once someone associates you with being on a mission to turn everything into misery, then claim you are a totally flawless angel, the tide begins to turn. Nobody wants a party proper around.

lygus' air fryer :

It feels very similar to what happened with our conservative party in Canada. PP built his whole platform on bitching about Trudeau, but then Trudeau resigned, and then his replacement enacted PP's like one real policy idea. The cons completely spiraled out of control after that.

Charlotte :

It's interesting how out of everything the £5mill is the one thing he's truly not been able to escape from. Even my dad who is incredibly well off and a staunch reform voter has been put off by it.

Fbk1975 :

A northerner was the perfect choice to show Farage up 2bf. None of the metropolitan London elite cries apply.

Kian Telford :

It also doesn't help that alot of his voter base die off each year and with climate change, that'll just go quicker and quicker.

em :

people make fun of andy burnham’s ‘normal bloke’ routine and focus on the north but that was exactly what gave nigel farage his political edge - he was the champion of the ‘ordinary bloke’ and the ‘forgotten about places’ of the UK however burnham has presented an alternative to that and is arguably doing it better than farage ever has

Sadly their audience doesn’t care about his corruption. If you think they do you’re in a bubble as bad as theirs

Hexapuma 🇨🇦 :

This whole situation sounds like an echo of what happened in Canada just before the last election

Billford :

its incredibly funny watching reform announce another press conference about immigration every time a new scandal comes out 😂

Eilís Bean Uí hEochaidh 🇦🇺 :

Yep. I think this is it

the guy no one asked for :

douglasjack515 :

There was momentum in their direction in the dying days of the Tories, with it being expected that the Conservatives would split and many of the more hard-right Tories would go to Reform, splitting the right-wing vote more evenly than before. But that momentum has died away over the last two years, as Reform look increasingly sketchy, other far-right parties try to steal their share (like Restore), and their antics and rhetoric look increasingly ridiculous compared to bland Labour. They've tried to be the party of opposition, pushing the Tories out, but they've forgotten that the British are a deeply traditional people. The Tories thoroughly shat the bed, but they'd have needed to completely implode in order to be knocked out

Stuey Macca70 :

o they do

Thornbuush :

even if he gets in again, doesnt he get investigated again?

Plus_One_Sword :

well they exist, just smaller and scattered

Bagel Farage :

Never fear, the bagel is here🫶

Rachel Ashley Music :

He’s going to win in Clacton though, I fear.

why do you keep saying Andy Burnham is popular? With whom? Not in Scotland he ain't
