Nigel Farage refuses to stand at election - James O'Brien reacts | LBC

- Опубліковано 22 тра 2024
- Nigel Farage has said that he will not stand at the UK's general election in July, with his sights set on supporting Donald Trump's campaign to be re-elected as US president.
Mr Farage, who has previously stood for election to the House of Commons several times, has faced several calls to stand for right-wing party Reform UK, which he co-founded.
Mr Farage said that although the UK's general election was "important", US voters' choice between Mr Trump and Joe Biden in November has "huge global significance".
James O'Brien analyses what he thinks this means and why Farage is doing this...

The most damaging Daily Mail headline was "At last a real Tory Budget!" Which was the utter disaster under Truss.
@roy Then don't read the daily mail.

If I remember clearly, Farage promised to leave the U.K. if Brexit was a failure
That would be the easy and coward way out for him. He MUST stay and suffer the consequences, like everyone else.
I thought Brexit was a success?
Yep...yet he said himself Brexit has failed.
He's a bullshitter of the highest order.
Like all sociopaths, he continually rewrites History.
@stephan And psychopaths comment on it.
Nigel Farage, the man who at one point in his political career, said he was leaving politics to spend more time with his family, and then his wife & kids left him. Says everything you need to know about his character, doesn't it?
Farage was huge fan boy of Oswald Mosley , man who made a deal with Adolf to be leader of Britain for him .
SHOWS HOW LITTLE YOU KNOW ABOUT DIVORCE .
He has no character
@david Not really. You obviously have had a busy day.😊
OP thinks everyone who suffers a family breakdown is of poor character....I think this says more about OP than those people
I hope the man completely dissappears from politics.
Just politics?

who is to blame? The people who voted for Brexit in 2016 and Boris Johnson in 2019
I'd put it another way - it's a majority of the English electorate who are to blame.
As a nation, Scotland voted 62% to remain in the EU and we haven't voted for a Tory government at Westminster since 1955. Despite this we have been dragged out of the EU against our will and of the 16 GEs since 1959 England got the govt it voted for 16 times (100%) but Scotland got the govt it voted for only 6 times (37%).
This is what Scots mean by democratic deficit. Is it any wonder that around 50% of us want to dissolve this "Voluntary" UK union?
James being 1 of them who voted for boris johnson.
Farage always pushes for huge changes then clears off. He did the same after brexit.
Follow the money... First he was Bankrolled by Arron Banks, probably still is (and others). Banks is a private insurance company owning £billionaire. So it is no surprise that Farage was pushing for an, "American type insurance based health system" to replace the NHS & Nat Insurance model. (Tories also want this now and are gaslighting the public into thinking getting rid of Nat Ins is a benefit to the country)
PS, J O'B asked, "Who started the decline of the UK?" For me it has to be, Thatcher and the US Neoliberal economics of, Milton Friedman/Greenspan etc, known as, ''Reaganomics'' (trickledown neoliberal economics).
Since then it has been a downhill slide for the poorest and working classes of the hoi polloi public and a sharp upward curve for the banksters, owners and wealthy shareholders etc etc. Thatcher deregulated the financial services & banks etc, with her, "Big Bang" of 1986. This allowed big bonuses for bankers and shareholders etc. The Big Bang was the result of an agreement made in 1983 by Thatcher & Co and the London Stock Exchange.
And so to speak, "the rest is history".

What a pity we won’t see Farage failing to win a seat for the eight time.
The Sunak warehouse photo op in Derbyshire today was staged with two Tory councillors posing as workers to ask softball questions.

@nihilistlivesmatter What democracy? The FPTP voting system which gave the tories dictatorial powers with 43% of the vote. Or the brexit referendum campagin financed with black money of dubious pedigree and the offer of sunlit uplands that could never be. That's not democracy.

Farage is a coward, always all talk and no business. As if Trump would employ him😂😂😂😂😂
No he’s just a grifter. He can make more money not standing. He also doesn’t like losing and knows he will.
T will employ anyone who ##### his #### & pays his legal bills
Trump loves to employ flatterers, so you can't completely count out Farage. That said, Farage will have to aim a couple feet higher than boots to apply his tongue - and these days Trump is apparently wearing diapers. But I have every confidence that Farage will leave the relevant area of Trump's anatomy spotless if that's what's required.
That is exactly who trump would employ. Fits Trump to a T.

James Goldsmith deserves a footnote for not only his asset stripping of the 1960s and 70s but for in his dotage, suddenly deciding to come back to England from South America and disrupt the country and kick start the anti-EU movement with his reform party which in turn gave birth to UKIP
I remember that video
I remember Goldsmith clapping and capering like a loon when Portillo was ousted.

@@user-ol6rd7pl5tthat would actually make a triangle but the point is relatively sound.
Farage is the prime instigator. Cameron fell for the grift. Johnson destroyed the toyshop in typical bullish fashion. But there is one person at the back of all of this who you have not mentioned, Vladimir Putin.

To be fair we were all lied to by Johnson, Cameron should've negotiated harder with the EU for a better deal. People were really fed up at this point and unfortunately voted for Brexit. If people knew that it meant coming out of trading to and from Europe and all the trouble it's caused, they wouldn't of voted for it 😊

Not really. Cameron got 37% of the vote which gave the Tories a majority of seats in parliament. He then set us up for Brexit. The Brexit campaign was based on 100% lies, financed with black money and many voters for it were tricked into getting off their arses to vote for the first time in their lives, thanks to the barrage of lies from the right wing press etc.

On the contrary, you would still have all the ERG and their supporters agitating about how bad the EU is. There's plenty of blame to go round, but Cameron only gets a small slice. Smaller than anyone who voted leave.

The referendum could have been a more complex one with options remain in the SM etc, which would have guaranteed a remain win, but they didn't even do that properly

@trent And people call you a sore loser. Just don't get it!
It was a non-binding referendum, wasn't it? And given a (fairly standard) margin of error (+/- 3%), surely the result wasn't large enough for either camp to claim victory. Ergo status quo should have been the order of the day, at least until a clearer result was obtained - the same could be said for the Scottish independence referendum.
You are so right, James. Farage, who claims he is a British patriot, prioritises campaigning in the USA rather than spending his time in the UK. Follow the money!
