[@jamietful]

It’s not just ‘in the eyes of the left’. Reform *is* objectively far right. In its extreme rhetoric. In it’s populist, highly binary simplistic philosophy and policy platform. In its rabid race based identity politics, it’s explicit and implicit jingoism and extreme nationalism. Reform is, ultimately, supported by the far right fringe within the Conservative Party and also British fascists.

Unfortunate that Enoch Powell was ignored and ostracized, because he was right about everything related to immigration and culture.

[@BelteshazzarBaumbruck]

Opinion polls in 1968 indicated that about 80% of the general public agreed with Enoch Powell. It was the treacherous Tory 'wets' under Ted Heath who expelled him... then four years later they sold out the UK to the EEC by lying that it was just a 'common market'. P.S. In 1993, Enoch Powell formally endorsed UKIP.

Tice is not an orator; glad he felt pressured to give the reigns to Farage. Smart move and I'm sure he also is a very clever man.

[@rafd3593]

Actually, they’re both pretty dim.

[@BelteshazzarBaumbruck]

I think the pressure was the other way around: Tice only agreed to act as caretaker leader on the understanding that Nigel would come back for the next general election. They have been quite open and clear about this for months and it ahs been talked about for years.

[@piper5985]

Is the terrible sound quality an unfortunate accident on the part of The Telegraph?

[@thomridgeway1438]

I have a feeling Nigel Farage represents the true values of the Conservative Right, and George Galloway represents the true values of the Labour Left. Interesting that they are both great orators and great characters. Whoever the vapid and bland Keir Starmer and Rishi Sunak actually serve, it's never going to be The British People. They both exist as strawmen. They really are the David Brents of UK Politics. Cringeworthy and mediocre to the very end

[@SirSupremmmmmmme]

Farage is MUCH more centrist than Galloway.

[@poplarboydavid]

Sunak and Starmer are globalists. Starmer is a WEF supporter and Sunak is an oligarch!

[@Motownisyourtown]

Poor analysis. Galloways views on LGBT people is extremely socially conservative and they don't align with the left at all.

[@andrewwmacfadyen6958]

Both only represent self interest. The history of Galloway and the reasons he was kicked out of Scottish Labour are shall we say "interesting". Farrage has big money being channeled into Reform as previously with his Brexit campaign. Where the money actually originates from and for what reason should perhaps be questioned.
