May 11th, 2026 - 02:31 pm - Link - Report abuse 0He just had the worst election results in his party’s history; Reform wiped the floor with them.
Reform have two flagship policies, anti-migration and anti-EU, and what does he say in his speech?
No mention of his completely failed migration policy, numbers have gone up on his watch and he promises to ‘take us back to the heart of Europe’, unbelievable.
We saw, when he told Parliament, with faux gravitas, that it was ‘unbelievable’ he wasn’t told about Mandelson and they laughed at him, the look on his face was priceless, he looked like he was going to cry.
He did not expect that reaction, he did not like it and most importantly he did not understand it.
Maybe he thinks its easier to win back voters from the Liberals and Greens than from Reform.
And that may be true, but it was Reform that gutted them in the election.
Reality bites. Literally. ;)
