The spoilers have been spoiled!
You would have to have a heart of stone, not to laugh!
It was clever of Williamson to have a stooge inside the local Reform UK group.
Sounds like any tom dick and harry can be a reform candidate
Thought Tice Fury was another fury family member i didn’t want to know about
Tice is talking about some sort of quid pro quo, but I feel it’s more Gav’s style to have used some sort of blackmail/kompromat/threat to bully the guy into giving up and endorsing him.
His whip’s office experience shining through – he famously kept damaging info on his own party’s MPs so he could politically extort and manipulate them at a future time of his choosing. I’d be amazed if he wasn’t fishing hard for a way to coerce his rival, and we’ve seen before that Reform are using people with some very dodgy history as candidates. I wonder if some horrifying secret will emerge about the reform candidate and it’ll all become more transparent.
I had it my head that Gavin Williamson’s political career was over after being consistently incompetent in his various ministerial positions before being called out on his behaviour. (I actually thought being gifted a CBE by Johnson was attempt at a “golden handshake” by the Tories to compel him to leave politics). This is disappointing.
He must have some serious dirt on some senior people to still be seen as viable.
Why on earth would anyone at Reform think for a moment that dyed in the wool Remainer and legend in his own mind Williamson would go to Reform ?
The paint job on the UKIP clown car isn’t lasting very long is it.
Tice only has to look at Lee Anderson to realise that those who flit between Tory and Reform have no loyalty, they just do what their paymasters want.
I am annoyed at this. I want Williamson out. He bullied Theresa May and is a nasty man.
Anyone who would have voted Reform should vote for an Independent Candidate.
