Speaking after the announcement, Farage said his party would be “coming for Labour next”.

Why are the French so much more awake than us!? Should be PM

[@POHT8OH]

In fairness he’s done very well for a 30 or so day campaign. Ride the 5 year storm and be optimistic for the next election

[@baggyobeast]

@@POHT8OH I have been following this guy for over 10 years and yes he is picking up momentum but we are just as f****d as France but for some reason still believe the people screwing us are the ones to save us. So why are the French more awake?

[@--Traveler--]

because france is nearly the islamic state of europe. uk is next if they don't vote out islam from positions of power. london is a perfect example.

Well done to Nigel from Australia! 🇦🇺 🇬🇧

[@henrytwin5999]

Welcome back Nigel. You are a unique talent and a very mature soul with lots of insights on the ready in all situations. I look forward to following you and your business in reforming the mindset of the manipulated people of the Uk to a delusional self-destructing level of passivity and depraved following along the various false voices of the false leaders and their destructive mindless and insane ideas of a UK... that suffers and dissolve itself as a consequence. Britain was once the greatest power on earth... It has enormous new potential. I believe you are the person to relieve UK and let it be free, or freed enough to find its own potential going forward. All the best, I will count on you.

[@draoi99]

Congratulations Nigel. Finally someone who believes in something. Keith kept equivocating about whether women have a benis until he saw which way the wind was blowing, not fit to run the country.

[@theavengers01]

[@Zenhoot]

Absolutely agree - what Reform have achieved in a matter of weeks is truly amazing. I'm looking forward to Reform running the country in 2029, and Farage as our future PM, putting Britain, its people and its interests first. 🇬🇧🇬🇧

Well, we are in for another 5 years of broken promises,false hopes, shattered dreams, and bankruptcy under Keir Starmmer and his messed up lying Labour Party. It's going to be a rough ride, so hold onto your seat belt! Kier Starmer doesn't see this coming yet, but his Party are going to stab him right in the back, resulting in another succession of unelected Prime Ministers for Britain. Mark my words! We will see, give them a year in power, and if they still blame the Conservatives after that, then that is our answer. Most people voted Labour only because they wanted Conservatives OUT!!!! It was only a protest vote, all I can say is gawd, help this once great country. I really feel and fear for my two young precious grandchildren. 🇬🇧
