What are the odds of Reform still existing in 2026 and Farage being its head?
Very good I would have thought. And not least because the political leaders of opposing parties seem to have no idea how to deal with the growing support that Reform is gathering.
The favourite strategy appears to be to ignore them and hope that they will go away.

I don't support these policies whatsoever, but if gullible idiots do elect a Party with this in their Manifesto as an upper middle class asset-owning white bloke I won't be impacted.
Women, minorities, disabled, foreigners, ethnics, poor etc etc - different story.
hmmm until they do something that affects you and then you find that your human rights aren’t quite what you expect 🙂
If Farage ever gets a role in Government it will supercharge the drive for Scots independence. A recent poll had it at 60+ % for independence if this happens. So while I would feel sorrow for those down south i9t would ultimately be good for Scotland
Edit:
Why the huge difference between Scotland and England on this? I am sure a part of it is that we have politicians and newspapers up here that call out his bullshine

Exactly that.

Nigel Farage was at his most vulnerable during the far-right riots of last August. The riots were deeply unpopular with voters who subsequently supported the harsh sentence handed out by the courts.
It would have been relatively easy to publicly hammer Farage for his obvious encouragement of the riots due to both his misinformation and his rhetoric.
But Starmer chose not to, presumably fearing that attacking a racist bigot would backfire on Labour. A similar opportunity is highly unlikely to occur between now and the next general election.
Labour sources say the view is that it is counterproductive to give Farage and his crew the oxygen of too much direct criticism, when the focus should be on the policing and tackling the rioters.
However, others within the party are worried that Labour failing to challenge Farage more comprehensively head-on allows his anti-migrant insinuations to become part of mainstream political rhetoric, especially when he now has five MPs and received 4m votes at the election.
In the lead up to the far-right riots Reform UK were polling mostly below 20% now they are polling mostly above 20%. And voters probably mostly don't hold Farage responsible in any way for fueling the riots. Starmer's (Morgan McSweeney's) strategy does not appear to be working.
Nigel Farage is an intellectual pygmy, I have seen Leanne Wood of Plaid Cymru demolish him on national TV. But Starmer who is happy to take on the left of his own party is unwilling to take on a hard- right racist. Go figure.
So while I would feel sorrow for those down south i9t would ultimately be good for Scotland
An independent Scotland that is not in the EU, that is physically separated from the EU by rUK, that needs to decide whether it's going to be in a single market with the EU or with England & Wales, and where the English nationalist Farage has a significant role in government - that's not a situation I'd describe as good for Scotland in any way!
This doesn't look good.
https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/blogs/ec_reform_20241231.html
Not sure how respected those people are?
that is physically separated from the EU by rUK
North sea ferries? Irish sea ferries? Eire seems to have managed fine with no longer transiting goods via england
Rejoin the EU of course. Set an example to rUK when we prosper as independent inside the EU
Electoral calculus are fairly reliable IIRC
~Edit - however this assumption is a huge one and IMO highly unlikely. I believe Reform have taken pretty much all the votes they can get from labour
assuming that Labour and Conservative voters are equally likely to defect to Reform.
Why the huge difference between Scotland and England on this? I am sure a part of it is that we have politicians and newspapers up here that call out his bullshine
Demographics. Scotlands population is 96% white and immigration hasn't really had any negative effects. The average for England is 82% and in some places it's much lower. We've definitely had negative effects from immigration along with the positives. Northern mill towns saw workers imported with a very different culture to push down wages and blamed the incoming people rather than the mill owners. Once the mills shut they were again blamed for the decline of the towns. The loss of working class employment in Scotland tends to be blamed on the English instead.
I've "done my own research" and we need to make it clear that Nij Al Farage is the head of a sleeper cell trying to turn the uk into muslamic state. The rayguns didn't work but he has managed to ethnically cleanse white Christian Europeans from our shores.
If you have a George cross tattooed on your body you need to stand up and fight this traytower.He needs arsetesting and sent to the towie of lundun bruv.
Gribs - do you live in Scotland? Glasgow in particular and Edinburgh as well have lots of immigration.
In England the areas with the least immigrants are the ones with the highest votes for the racists by and large.
This doesn’t look good.

The final paragraph says all that really matters. :
While these projections could be achievable, given their opponents' weaknesses, there is no guarantee that Reform can get there. But there is a unique opportunity for Reform, as the main two parties have not been so vulnerable since the Labour party displaced the old Liberal party in 1922.
With the critical words being "could be achievable given their opponents' weaknesses".
If you are worried about ConForm ,join a party that matches your views and get out there with the leaflets.
I like to think I played a small part in giving Epsom and Ewell its first non Tory mp.
Don’t just whinge on here DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
I care not a toss where you come from but we are bloody well full to the point of deterioration
Our “deterioration” has been mitigated by immigration, especially from EU countries. Without them, we’d be worse off in every way. And we are not full, we have huge areas of land owned by people who do little with it other than shoot game and put up keep out signs.
If you are worried about ConForm ,join a party that matches your views and get out there with the leaflets.
This. Personally I’d suggest you consider your area as well, when choosing who to help. I’d happily leaflet drop and donate to a local candidate who didn’t most closely match my views if they stood the best chance of keeping Badenoch (or more likely her successor) or Farage from gaining another MP to sit with them.
It is crazy how the narative can shift opinion...
I mean the lib dems absolutley smashed it last election, up to 72 MP's from what, 12 or something? in 3rd place...Reform on 5 MP's in 8th place.
https://members.parliament.uk/parties/commons
Apparently the lib dems still don't exist in the popular media, or on here... but they have over 10% of MP's, vs reforms less than 1%, although you'd never believe so if you just listen to opinions without looking at the facts.
I like to think I played a small part in giving Epsom and Ewell its first non Tory mp. Don’t just whinge on here DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
Indeed. I may have possibly had a tiny minuscule part in it, but we had a Tory MP and now we don’t, which made all the tromping the streets with leaflets in the pissing rain seem worthwhile
Starmer's policy of denying Farage 'oxygen' was stupid before Trump was elected. Now that Farage will have 4 years of publicity as Trump's handpicked, de facto, UK ambassador to the US - it is totally out of the window. Trump can choose to deal with whomever he likes from the UK body politic and, realistically, Starmer can do sweet FA about it. Mandelson will be kicking his heels in the diplomatic district whilst Trump ignores him. It is so depressingly predictable.
Gribs – do you live in Scotland? Glasgow in particular and Edinburgh as well have lots of immigration.
I don't, but have friends/relatives in Aberdeen and near Edinburgh, some of whom are native and some are immigrants. The immigration tends to be culturally the same, white and often just English. Even so I've had friends that have experienced direct "racism" (Anti English so not really) in Kinross and Aberdeenshire villages. I'd guess you've thankfully not experienced that in Edinburgh. The anti English SNP voters are the same as our racist UKIP/reform voters down here, they don't like outsiders or change, and pick an easy target that their peers will accept.
In England the areas with the least immigrants are the ones with the highest votes for the racists by and large.
Some of it is down to seeing how other places have changed, or at least how the media portrays them, and not wanting their areas to be the same. For 10+ years England has on average voted for parties that promised to reduce immigration but didn't. It's hardly surprising that some are now looking to Reforms lies as an alternative.
The anti English SNP voters are the same as our racist UKIP/reform voters down here, they don’t like outsiders or change, and pick an easy target that their peers will accept.
Simply not true. anti english sentiment is not a part of the SNP mainstream in any way. Plenty of folk of english descent in the SNP. Plenty of immigrants of all sorts. Best summed uip by:
"When Bashir launched Scots Asians for Independence at the SNP conference in 1995, he gave a speech saying "it isn't important where you come from, what matters is where we are going together as a nation".
"The immigration tends to be culturally the same, white and often just English.
Again simply not true
I have lived in Scotland since the 70s. I have a very obvious english name and accent. anti english sentiment is far less now than it was then. Why? Because the SNP and the wider independence movement have called out anti enlish racism consistently
Dear god, can we not hide such graphic images
Simply not true. anti english sentiment is not a part of the SNP mainstream in any way. Plenty of folk of english descent in the SNP. Plenty of immigrants of all sorts.
I'm not saying it's a mainstream position but before Alba existed if you were anti English you'd tend to support the SNP rather than a unionist party. Certainly from the outside it appears that "anti-Tory" is often just used as a more acceptable version of anti-English. Just because Reform has a South Asian heritage chairman doesn't stop many of their supporters being racist.
Who knew that the Tory Party under Kemi Badenoch is now drifting evermore to the left?
It is something which I have only just discovered. :
“The Conservative Party I once identified with – the party of Churchill and Thatcher – has transformed into something unrecognisable, captured by a left-wing influence that masquerades as conservatism at election time while prioritising the wishes of an elite few when in power".
He said he would not be part of what he described as a “uniparty drift” towards an ever more left-wing agenda.
She's at it again - if you actually listen to what he said you'll discover she's being disingenuous (at best) and note that while in Govt her Party commissioned a £186m inquiry; reported in 2022 with many findings, no action has been taken...
It looks like she’s doubling down on absolutely lunatic far right nonsense and in the company of lions like Jordan Peterson has gone for the subtle and considered understatement that has become her trademark
Kemi Badenoch says ‘western civilisation will be lost’ if Tory party fails
Madder than a bucket of spiders!
I am wondering what Western civilization will be lost to if the Tory Party fails, what will replaced it?Badenoch fails to elaborate in that report.
she’s doubling down on absolutely lunatic far right nonsense and in the company of lions like Jordan Peterson
And according to your link also in the company of a prominent and influential member of the Labour Party. :
Also appearing on a panel was the Labour peer and proponent of the socially conservative Blue Labour movement, Maurice Glasman.
Maurice Glasman is actually on the advisory board on of the hard-right Alliance for Responsible Citizenship which organised the event.
Now we all know that it is fairly easy to get expelled from the Labour Party for being left-wing but exactly how right-wing do you have to be to be expelled.....is there actually any limit?
No wonder the current Labour government is coming out with far-right pointless policies such as permanently denying British citizenship to asylum seekers who make "dangerous journeys"
Yup, madder than a bucket of spiders, I couldn't agree more.
She's just over 100 days in and less popular than ever with her own party
With Farages stale breath down her neck, I suspect her bonkers statements will only get worse, the only thing keeping her safe is the absolutely dire state of the alternatives... Honest Bob Jenrick is the most preferred, hilariously Chris Philp is in 3rd
With Farages stale breath down her neck
I wish that was true, unfortunately Reform UK is in front in almost all recent polls. Including the latest YouGov poll out today which puts them 6% in front of the Tories.
https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/51638-voting-intention-lab-25-ref-27-con-21-16-17-feb-2025
Laura Trott is straight after him. Just… WOW! A woman who is out of her depth on a damp pavement. On that score, at least Kemi is presently above Helen Whately, but only just
I've not been following this thread to keep up to date with all of her nonsense, but heard her on the news this afternoon backing Israel on its banning of 2 labour MPs from entering the country.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/czjn3071yv3o
Well she manages to completely undermine her own argument in just a couple of sentences. She says that the Israeli government were worried that the MPs wouldn't comply with Israeli law (never mind the irony that it's a government which holds international law with so much contempt on a daily basis) and in the same sentence emphases that "MPs do not have diplomatic immunity".
So what's the problem then? If they were to break the law they would be held responsible.
And Badenoch has managed to draw criticism not just from Labour and the LibDems but also from within her own party:
Badenoch was also contradicted by Tory MP Fuller, who told LBC that Conservative MPs had experienced similar issues in China and he wanted to support the right to travel to other countries.
"I want to support my colleagues," said Fuller. "This isn't a partisan thing, as a parliamentarian, we live in a difficult world at the moment.
"Democracies are under threat, we should support them in those circumstances, whether China, Israel, or anywhere...
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/czjn3071yv3o
Kemi Badenoch says ‘western civilisation will be lost’ if Tory party fails
That sort of hysteria could result in a visit from the Home Office and deportation as it's decidely not British!
Apparently, criticising the Israeli government is now ‘Hate Speech’ and Kemi is making it clear that she’s fine with that
Fair point. There’s something strangely compelling about watching her try to ape Farage, or in this case Tommy Robinson
That sort of hysteria could result in a visit from the Home Office and deportation......
The Shamima Begum principle eh........tell her that she is entitled to Nigerian nationality so her British citizenship has been withdrawn due to her anti-british activity?
I like it and not least because it is a principle established by the Tories.
I'm somewhat reassured that all shades of politics, including some of her own, are calling her out on this and talking about the wider threat to freedoms and democracy.
We need those voices to be more vocal.
watching her try to ape Farage, or in this case Tommy Robinson
The problem is that I am starting to see Nigel Farage as increasingly more moderate than Kemi Badenoch, and that's quite something. Even if in the case of Farage it is purely for pragmatic reasons. He probably recognises how toxic Tommy Robinson is better than Badenoch. And I think she would probably be slower to criticise Trump than Farage.
I never thought we would get to a stage where the worst high profile politician wasn't necessarily Farage.
It’s very odd watching a woman of colour repeatedly demonstrate some kind of weird Stockholm Syndrome where she seems to be getting more and more extreme in agreement with the rabidly far right who, as you noted Ernesto, even Farage has good sense enough to distance himself from
Where she thinks she’s going with this, in terms of making the Tory party more electable, which is her job, is absolutely unfathomable
I cant decide if shes genuinely agreeing with Israel to make the Yaxley Lenon demographic happy or shes just reflexively agreeing because theyre labour MPs, maybe a bit of both
Tory Criticism of her came from one of Strides shadow jr ministers
Itll be Stride vs Jenrick at the next leadership election and i think itll be before the next GE, theyre all on manauvers
less than 4 weeks to the locals, i suppose she'll lean into the extreme even harder untill them
Any sign of badenoch yet?
results as bad or even worse than expected for the Tories
honest Bob will be getting excited....
The thing about the Tory party is that they’re always so predictable.
I’m sure the plans to unseat her are now gathering pace after yesterday’s results. No doubt they’ll completely ignore the seats they lost to the Lib Dems and set off chasing Reform even more than they have been.
A doomed exercise if ever there was one, but one which Honest Bob, with his Poundland Farage tribute act, will no doubt relish. All the nastiness, but not even hidden behind a pint and a smile
I've always predicted that Reform and Farage would end up occupying the hollowed out skin of the Tory Party to have a serious stab at getting elected, but that relies on there still being a Tory party, or a need for it.
At the moment I can't see that a merger with the Conservative brand is necessarily required for Reform to win power. They have managed to toxify themselves to such an extent that it might be better off staying away from them. Especially with Labour offering nothing except diet Reform policies.
I'm hoping they are all in a bunker considering their options.
Pray for rain, perhaps a flood….lets see if the rats can swim
weve all seen honest bobs new weirdly staged video where he goes after the fare dodger for £3.90 (well all ignore that he had to hand back the £12k bribe the Tory donor paid to dodge millions in tax)?
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cvg9r40p749o
i suspect we will see more brand building between now and when the leadership challenge comes after badenochs protected period is up in November
TfL were not happy about that ^^ at all.
I just came here to say that whoever coined the term 'honest bob' is an absolute genius... it never fails to crack me up. good work.
Does the conservative party even really exist any more? they just seem like a basket case. They've been out biggoted by farrages lot, and labour are brining it up the rear with their 'diet reform' rhetoric...that's another corker... I'm stealing that too. 😎
well all ignore that he had to hand back the £12k bribe the Tory donor paid to dodge millions in tax
Dont you mean entirely innocent political donation? The thing that always amazes me is how cheap they are. It was worth 40 million and the "donation" was just 12k. I mean FFS at least go for a proper bribe of a million or so.
Also dont forget his interesting expenses claims around which home was the official one or not and how that relates to him dodging those boring covid rules and regulations.

I actually thought that myself... £12k is cheap..
I wonder what he'd do for £50k?!
In fact, don't answer that!
What’s the tax situation on bribes? In my head £12k is SFA after tax.
What’s the tax situation on bribes? In my head £12k is SFA after tax.
To be fair to him it wasn't a bribe he benefited from personally, but a donation to the Tory party. The thing I find most offensive is how blatant it was. Tories used to at least have the decency to try and hide their corruption.
More lunacy from Kemi this morning. In a ‘speech’ that just came across as the ramblings of that weird bloke who’s always sat at the bar, it seems its (somewhat inevitably) now official Tory policy to withdraw from the ECHR.
She actually referred to Reform as ‘a left wing party’ 😂

The main rules of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) encompass fundamental rights like:
- the right to life
- freedom from torture and inhuman treatment
- freedom from slavery
- the right to liberty and security
- the right to a fair trial
I mean, who would want any of that!? 😶
The ECHR also protects our right to worship a Christian God.
Madenoch and Ni Jal Farage want us out so that they can impose Sharia law on hard working British patriots.
They are all part of the muslamic conspiracy.
Be sure to mention this on a regular basis when dealing with Barry Brexit.
Badenoch is basically trying to keep her job more than any pretence of leading an opposition. I'm guessing the Tories will sack her off soon - maybe after conference season the autumn
Lets face it she's been a placeholder from the start. They're just holding out for Boris to come back so they can relive the glory days.
I think a a little bit of sick just came out.
TBF the return of Johnson would probably be hilarious. Watching people like my Auntie explode when they have to choose between 'Boris' and 'Nigel' would be a sight worth seeing. Saying that, Fartage would bottle it I'd imagine, handing the keys to Johnson, which wouldn't be hilarious at all!
I'm guessing the Tories will sack her off soon - maybe after conference season the autumn
The new rules say she can’t be challenged for a year. She’s been in place 7 or 8 months.
I’m sure Honest Bob is ticking off the days on his calendar. He started his campaign ages ago, including his latest hilarious fare-dodger accosting hardman routine
Kemi who?
She's just a stopgap for an irrelevant party - a party which will only regain relevance when it merges with Reform - which will be Jenrick's role.
It won't stop her enjoying the limelight, but she's playing to a very scarcely populated room. Let her have her bit of fun pissing in the wind then she can **** off back under whatever rock she crawled out from.
She's just a stopgap for an irrelevant party - a party which will only regain relevance when it merges with Reform - which will be Jenrick's role.
the farage ego vehicle has no room for other leaders, while hes still around there can be no merger
It's all a bit academic though, isn't it? The center right voters have gone to labour and the extreme right have gone to reform.
That makes the Conservatives politically homeless as far as I can see?
Well, according to Kemi, Nige and co are lefties.
Her speech before was absolutely hilarious. She ran off a roll call of everything she deems wrong with the country then asked, with a straight face “how on earth did we get here?”
To which everyone immediately thought, and the journalists later vocalised the obvious answer… “erm… is it because of 14 years of failed Tory government, of which you were a significant member?”
She’s so clueless, she even sets up the punchlines
Nige hasn’t had the best of weeks, so I’m sure this cheered him up no end
the farage ego vehicle has no room for other leaders, while hes still around there can be no merger
There is no chance of any merger between Reform and the Tories whoever the leaders are.
Reform's entire selling point is that they are right-wing but not Tories. Along with other major parties the Tories are seen as discredited and central to Reform's appeal is the claim that they are not an established party.
Agreeing to a merger with the Tories, which they don't even need, would be highly toxic to Reform and would very likely seriously diminish their support.
Indeed Ernesto. Any possible agreement between the two went right out of the window when Boris (shock, horror….) stitched Nige up to get the Brexit party tanks off his lawn, then immediately renaged on the deal once in power.
Nobody saw that one coming, eh? Boris lying? Whatever next?
Farage won’t be making that mistake again, and why should he?
The only issue seems to be that Kemi seems to recognise the Reform threat (though is clearly incapable of doing anything about it) whereas Honest Bob (who’ll be Tory leader in a few months) has clearly been making noises to suggest he sees some kind of ‘deal’ with Farage being possible.
Good look with that, Bob
Nige hasn’t had the best of weeks, so I’m sure this cheered him up no end
Relative to what.....all the fantastic weeks he has had the last few months?
Yesterday came proof that Reform UK is now a major political party in Scotland. Today the latest opinion poll gives Reform an 8 point lead over Labour, which I believe is the 37th consecutive national opinion poll that puts reform UK in the lead.
Then also this today:
Even a bad week for Farage is very good compared to the other major parties.
I’m not disagreeing with you Ernesto. Everything’s relative, after all
But his party chairman just resigned and the result of the by election proved that the polling was a mile out, hugely exaggerating his support. The prediction from the polling was a reform win with labour in third. The reverse of what actually happened.
Back on topic though, the Tories were nowhere and it does make you wonder about the wisdom of calling the countries media together for a press conference the morning after you’ve just been trounced in a byelection. Especially when it was just to pull a third rate Reform tribute act
The prediction from the polling was a reform win with labour in third.
Where did you see that? All I heard was the claim that although unlikely Reform could win the by-election, which given the result was a perfectly reasonable assessment.
https://www.newstatesman.com/politics/polling/2025/06/who-will-win-the-hamilton-by-election
Britain Predicts anticipates an SNP hold “by around one thousand votes”. Labour should come second. Reform should come third with a large 23 per cent.
Reform actually got 26% of the vote so they did better than the opinion poll predicted.
26% of the vote in a Scottish constituency sounds like something which Farage should be very pleased about.
Yesterday came proof that Reform UK is now a major political party in Scotland.
No it didn't. with a discredited SNP and an unpopular labour 26% ie a similar vote to the tories is the best they can do, It shows that reform may steal tory votes but that it is not capable of winning a seat even when all the stars align. Reform have never won any election in Scotland at any level
Today we have the sound of a mad opposition leader claiming that they will not see any constituent wearing a burka at surgery. A moot point as the MP hasn't held a surgery for 4 years or so.
A moot point as the MP hasn't held a surgery for 4 years or so.
More in common with Farage than I realised!
Has anyone ever actually seen anyone wearing a full burka in the UK? I lived in a predominantly Asian/Muslim area for years and I haven’t.
So in the same spirit, from tomorrow onwards I will be refusing to have any meetings in work with anyone wearing a feather boa and cowboy boots.
I suppose I could go full Farage/Kemi and simply refuse to have any meetings at all, but unlike them that would have a very detrimental effect on my income
So in the same spirit, from tomorrow onwards I will be refusing to have any meetings in work with anyone wearing a feather boa and cowboy boots.
"Siri - cancel meeting with binners"
Pretty unusual to see, but we do occasionally see full burkas in Nottingham and Derby.
Has anyone ever actually seen anyone wearing a full burka in the UK? I lived in a predominantly Asian/Muslim area for years and I haven’t.
Yep, lots. I know it is probably not your style but pop into Harrods next time you are in London and you can tick another thing off your list.
Every day’s a school day, eh?
I wonder if many of Kemi’s constituents in North West Essex buy their burkas in Harrods’?
I wonder which will be the next Reform policy that they mention, only for Kemi to announce as Tory policy a couple of days later?
