General UK politics VIII - The Last Tory

I shudder to think what the rejected candidates were like!

Reform UK criticised for candidates' offensive posts

Reform UK is fielding local election candidates who have "posted hate, pushed far-right conspiracies and praised extremists" - despite Nigel Farage's claim to have beefed up the party's vetting process, campaign group Hope Not Hate has said.

Speaking at a campaign event in Dover on Thursday, Farage said the party had put in place "a vetting system that was as good if not better than the other parties" for this year's elections.

The Reform UK leader said "hundreds of people who applied to be candidates for the county council elections were rejected... often because of repeated use of words beginning with F and C on social media."

He said others had been rejected "because they just said things that were just ridiculous, outrageous, embarrassing".

And in the midst of everything else going on in the world the big headline for the Mail on Sunday was 'Kier Starmer's ex-girlfriend is pro-Trans Judge'. Oh and apparently Kemi Badenoch has had encounters with predatory men, well obviously, she was part of the Tory cabinet after all.
 
The Conservative Party may need to form a coalition with Reform UK at the next general election to keep Labour out of government, Tory mayor Lord Houchen has said.

The Tees Valley mayor told the BBC that if the number of Tory and Reform MPs "create a significant majority" then "obviously there's going to be a conversation to form a coalition or some sort of pact".

A Reform UK spokesman said the party had "no intention of forming coalitions or pacts with the Tories", saying they "broke Britain".
