  1. Reform really aren’t handling this very well. They clearly thought they were going to win and instead they were completely crushed. Now they’re lashing out like the sore losers they are.

    Oh shut the fuck up, Nigel. YOU LOST. In a by election, with frankly a high percentage of people you’d have taken their state support from.

    Let’s see what happens in May before we say who’s come out on top in this.

    Odd, this sounds exactly like the sectarianism Farage was complianing about…

    >It involves intense, narrow-minded loyalty to one’s group, often leading to social exclusion, conflict, and violence against those perceived as outsiders. It is not limited to religious differences but can include, or be manipulated by, political, national, or community identity.

    They will be crying about this over and over as they are losing everywhere now lol.

  5. Discrediting votes from diverse areas, I think it genuinely has rattled reform tbh that left leaning white people can mobilise to keep them out alongside communities reform are actively trying to turn people against

  6. Whether you vote green or not, reform’s attempts to justify their loss is fucking embarrassing for them.

    They gambled on giving such a solidly left wing constituency so much time and attention, and now they need some kind of conspiracy to explain why they didn’t win.

  7. How embarrassing for Reform supporters, but who care about a bunch of racists soon to infight themselves into obscurity again?

    Reform: Foreigners are not integrating.

    Also Reform: The foreigners are voting for a party led by an openly gay Jewish man and a female blonde MP!

    So once again the tough talking “say it like it is” crowd throw their toys out of the pram when they lose.

    Nige, your racism is showing. Here’s a kerchief to wipe your lip off.

  11. It’s like they blow on the dog whistle thinking it will get them votes, and now they didn’t win they’re blowing it as hard as possible and saying “does this fucking thing even work?”

  12. Even if this claim is true, all it shows is what an asset immigrants are to the country.

    British born voters.

    Then it will be acredefininv of ‘British’. The 3 generations rule has already been mooted by some, these things were never discussed in open society, previously confined to smokey back rooms in used tones.

    Its ugly, and their policies and desires are ugly. The right must not ever gain power over the country.

    No one likes a sore loser.

    Regardless of who the party is, a modicum of respect will be earned if gracious in defeat.

  15. Novara got it right by calling out the implausibility of block voting by Muslim families for the Greens; like __highly religious patriarchal socially conservative male__ heads of families would force their subservient wives in to voting for the blonde haired greyhound-owning plumber who’s a member of a party that want to decriminalise drugs and is run by an out and proud gay Jew.

    It’s just stupid on its face.

  16. What a national embarrassment. Saltier than a packet of ready salted and more sour than off milk.

    Maybe he should consider resigning out of embarrassment, for not fulfilling the needs of the people in this vital by-election as it’s clear Reform are not what they said they would be, and are nothing more than *the* Reformed Conservative Party Ltd.

    Go on Nigel, just resign and step down from politics. What’s the phrase that should be a final nail in the coffin of a politician? Oh yeah…

    >Don’t you think [he] looks tired?”

    Scotland voted for Scottish Independence among Scottish born voters, but he never ever mentions that one.

  18. Johnson, Cliff Richard, Lennox Lewis, John Barnes, Rudyard Kipling, Emma Watson, Richard E Grant, Freddie Mercury, Prince Philip, Joanna Lumley, Alan Whicker just to name a few are not true Brits as they are / were not British Born.

    Maybe somebody should ask Fararge how he feels about Boris Johnson being a Prime Minister considering he wasn’t British Born.

  19. Pretty sure this is bollocks, but is there even a way this is even provable? I imagine we will get the “wE hAvE aLl ThE EvIdEnCE” but never see it.

  20. Showing racism that they assume stuff like Muslim vote isn’t born in the uk. Manchester has British born citizens whose grandparents or great grandparents migrated.

    Reminds me of when ukip candidate complained about migrants in a leaflet while also talking about their grandads Irish heritage

  21. So the 50p Trump is using Trump tactics already whenever he loses. I wonder when is he going to try to rile up his supports to storm parliament to overthrow an election result…

    Yesterday they were whining about ‘sectarian politics.’

    Today they’re saying ‘but we won with the whiteys’.

    Him and Badloss are massive crybabies. So upset that they couldn’t just be handed a free seat and go on Laura K talking about deportations (she was raging and all), having temper tantrums every hour on Twitter like entitled spoiled brats, spouting conspiracy theories for press stenographers to uncritically repeat.

    Meanwhile, a decent lass got a stunning victory opposing the entire media climate and political consensus of things only getting worse. The [trajectory](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/6e/Opinion_polling_graph_for_the_next_United_Kingdom_general_election_%28post-2024%29.svg) for Reform is pretty clear.
