- “There is momentum behind Reform and that’s got the Conservatives rattled”
If Nigel Farage wins the Clacton seat it's "quite possible he could be leading the Conservatives into the next election", says Tim Bale Queen Mary University politics professor.

Tories have ignored the electorate for the past 5 years - now they ask ""vote for us "- Foxtrot Oscar!
You are almost quoting Mel Brookes "Come along now be a smarty come and join the Farrage party "
Tories under a 100 is almost guaranteed.
Reform will have a lot less
The Tories are finished.
Rishi will get a majority, things are changing. He has a plan that is working
@@tomsheppard378 😂😂😂😂😂
Let's hope they go down to Zero seats, they deserve it after 14 years in office, they've been a party of high taxes and high spending including uncontrolled mass immigration. Vote Reform UK.
The best thing about this channel is how you always get to listen to one of the bits twice. Such a great innovation.
GREAT THE TORIES WILL GO FROM SEVENTY TWO SEATS TO SEVEN!!!
The Tories are like a lazy child that’s been pretending they’re doing enough work, but now it’s exam time and they’re just panicking and not even cramming. They just can’t change what they do, even though they know they’ll fail because of it.
that’s true, but I think what they’re more like is unprincipled demagogues, and liars that have stolen the future for millions of people and cast the UK’s economic viability into a pit from what you cannot climb out. But your interpretation is good too.

Nigel Farage for PM 😃🥰 VOTE REFORM!! I like what he says and I don’t think I’m the only one NIGEL NIGEL NIGEL NIGEL, let’s get the others out of parliament and put a new Cromwell in there!!
A dictator? Why?
@@ohdearism Cromwell was not a dictator he made England great again after kicking the rabble out, because the rabble were not looking after the people..only making sure that they themselves were living in luxury at the expense of the people...Ring any bells?? 😃
@@sueo7834conservatives are never the agent of change for the commons.
I disagree, it’s the tories who ended the empire, opened global markets destroying U.K. industry and caused us to fight in both world wars. That’s before we reach Cameron’s “biggest achievement” and Rishis mass migration. The tories are the agents of decline.
@@sueo7834King Charles 2nd, be careful of the regicide.
Reform will squeeze the Tories over the next week and break the glass ceiling between a few seats and one hundred +. Prediction: Reform 23%, Tories 15
Delusional!
their votes are spread the prediction is 7 Reform seats only 72 tory seats something like a 250 seat majority to labour
reform will finish 4th or worse
@@vincentvangogh8092I give Reform a maximum of 3 seats and that’s being generous.
It is all dependent of Reform gaining sufficient momentum in a very limited space of time they need to get over the 30% barrier and then we will see a significant unprecedented result for Reform. It is far from impossible but needs the country to think enough is enough of our votes being wasted by Labour and the Tories and neither having the will or motivation to back British ingenuity and promote British innovation to solve the stagnation we face today.
Imagine something as simple as this: ReformUK arrive in power and millions of low pay workers who voted for them realise that they have no healthcare system for themselves or their loved ones, new eugenics laws are passed to deal with the physically and mentally disabled, and what money is left is used to subsidise Tice and Farage's mates in the City. The trucks didn't arrive on their streets to cart away and deport their foreign neighbours and Britain narrowly avoided isolating itself by not leaving the ECHR. Reform are not innovators - they are Tufton Street disaster capitalists disguised as populist, nationalistic xenophobes. We need politicians to support innovation and fresh ideas that will bring about a diverse and therefore resilient economy - this can only begin at grass roots, and ReformUK don't even have any members.
You’re not listening are you. If Farage wins he’s going to cross over and join the Tories. He’s simply using your anger and delusion to enhance his own career prospects
@@ohdearism So Labour with a leader who embraced Trotskyism as did Blaire in the past with a massive membership will offer solutions I don't think so. Tories which have a membership although dwindling have not proven they are capable either so your argument about membership is flawed. We need ideas and not political dogma rooted in the past none of the mainstream parties have anything to offer so time to take a risk as nothing can be worse than what we have now or a return to the politics of the 60's and 70's which Labour are proposing.
We are at peak Reform vote share….there are only so many bigots and racists in the UK.
I mean the reality is, Britain has been turning red for the past couple of years - before reform ever seriously entered the fray. Britain is swinging left, not right, and the fact reform might be gobbling up a chunk of the Tories' (heavily depleted) share of the right wing shouldn't deceive you into thinking that's where the majority of the _country_ is.
That'll be the dumbest thing he could do.
Conservatives would have to finish second, i guarantee people will vote tactically to see a labour government & Lib Dem opposition.
It’s almost impossible to vote tactically now given Tories fall and Labours resurgence. For example my area the Lib Dem’s always come second to the Tories. They say they’re the only ones who can beat Tories here. Yet almost everyone here who voted Tory before is not going to, and most of them are seemingly voting Labour who are polling the strongest. Yet libs still claim to be the “tactical vote”. Basically tactical voting is based on 2019 results and that was a whole different scenario - people here didn’t like Corbyn but will vote for Starmer.
Lib Dem vote in only concentrated in certain constituencies.
After Budgets, Brexit and Boris I’m amazed to see it’s as high as 72 seats.
How come Farage gets a platform for almost half of your video? I don't see this for the other Party leaders.
No, they only get it on mainstream media.
@@CarlEveriss Times is msm.
The Times is a right wing media organisation. Naturally they talk about right wing politicians more than they talk about left wing ones.
Farage ❤❤❤❤❤Trump.
Vote in haste, repent at leisure.
We're already repenting
Two lying grifters, one a convicted criminal. What exactly are you expecting to happen?
Farage will sell the UK to the U.S. if he gets a chance, wake up. How's Brexit working out??
We true Brits can rally round reform and win
I think all Tories should go to prison?
Stop being so emotional?
Not all but many. Although I think steamer should be in prison too for his role in the Rotherham scandal.
The tories for what they have done with mass migration, which if done to a different country would be rightly called evil.
I understand your sentiment, but let’s not get too carried away.
Stupidity is not a crime. If it was, 75% of the population would be in prison.
NF is not even a member of the tory party as far as I know.
So how can he become leader.
he was dancing with pritti patel at the tory party conference why was he there ?
So nieve he is an opptuneist he will lead the tory party by the next election if that is what he wanted
Was NF a member of the National Front?
Obviously, he would become a member of the Conservative Party, in these circumstances.
Silly questions....
You probably work for the BBC
Wouldn't that be fantastic.
Farage will destroy his self if he joins the Tories, I will vote for Farage if he's in Reform but he Not got my vote if he's joins the Tories, The True Tories can join Reform!!
Farage won’t join the Tories until after the 2024 election, so the vote you’re talking about is obviously the 2029 vote, right?
The Conservatives have proved their capabilities over a 14 year period - totally incompetent. We certainly do not deserve several years of HARD LABOUR (Just take a serious look at Starmer's team and judge their capabilities). The only solution to our nation's major problems is to vote REFORM UK.
Do you use the NHS?
@@ohdearism I would love to use the NHS at my age but it is very difficult - I waited 2 years for a cataract operation. I am now (after six months) still waiting (after a referral) to see an Orthopaedic Specialist because of my Rheumatoid Arthritis problem and walking difficulties. Having paid into the National Health I find it so frustrating that I don’t have any priority over the immigrants who have only just started paying into a system which was the envy of the world.
@@williamthompson4389 And those immigrants don't have any priority over you, either. Reform UK are a buch of fascists - a modern version of Moseley's lot in the 1930s. The sad fact is that our birth rate in this country is now 1.56 (2021 figure) - so if you have zero immigration, then you'll end up with a reducing population, reducing output and a shrinking economy. Then who will pay for your pension?
@@williamthompson4389 The NHS doesn't operate like that. Conditions get priority, not immigrants. I'm sorry to hear about your wait and I hope you get seen to soon. Best practice is to phone and be pushy - practitioners generally have so much work on that they miss emails. My mother has just had surgery for cancer and didn't have to wait, so like I said, it's more about priority.
The reason why I asked if you use the NHS is that ReformUK plan to carve up the NHS and sell it to foreign investors, leaving you without any healthcare at all, so I guess you won't have to worry about ever being seen.
@@ohdearism i agree with your point about priority but when i broke my arm 4 years ago i had to wait a week for surgery when that sort of thing should be operated on the next day at the latest
Cable Street stopped Mosley in his tracks
snack sold the Tories down the teams there are no Tories left
At leas Nigel Farage says it how it is.
We always been ahead 😂
Mr Farage has ridded us of the Tories and he's got enough supporters to do the same to Labour , TIME FOR " REFORM "
Well said Ivan! 🤣🤣🤣
@@oeokosko I think you meant Adolf.
@@Jessjoe1956 About as funny as toothache !
Shouldn't you be concentrating on Ukraine right now?
@@Jessjoe1956 No, Russia is the new fascist state. Barely distinguishable from the old communist state admittedly but then dictatorships are what dictatorships do.
The idea of going hard right when most voters are in the centre ground is ridiculous. Farage wouldn't want the responsibility of leading the Conservatives in to their second defeat in a row - he would much rather criticise them on GBeebies for at least double his MP salary.
Yeah i wonder about this. Farage is a grifter and I suspect gets money from Russia given all he’s done to further their agenda (weakening UK, distancing UK from Europe, moving it closer to the far right)… However, I fear the lure of real power by being leader on the Cons might be tempting to him. He’s getting old now, not many chances left.
That doesn't make any sense. If he's all about money, then why did he quit GB news to fight to become a MP just to make far less money and have concrete thrown at him?
@@ionlyfearphobophobia to be able to speak in the leaders' debates and raise the profile of Reform. If elected in Clacton, he will be able to speak in Parliament and on media; if not, back to GBeebies.
@@Stephen_Lafferty So it's not really about money for him, is it? He said the other day in a speech he's made as much money as he's happy to live on. He could have just stayed semi-retired making bank at GB News, yet Reforming the UK and delivering the kind of Brexit he fought for 20 years for, that's what he cares about. I agree he won't be leading the Tories for a number of reasons, yet I don't think it's just about media attention for him, i think he actually believes in what he's fighting for.

Stop with the fake news!
In the absence of an intelligent, cogent comment, these people write 'fake news' or some similar inane comment.
So nice to see 😂
I think he was with gbnews the channel he was working for at the time.
Labour reduced to 1 seat in Scotland. Tories under 100 seats. Take comfort the only way is up from there.
😂😂😂I'll have what you are drinking. I've voted SNP in recent years, but it's Labour this time. Labour will smash the SNP up here.
If Reform have to get a seat, I hope Tice wins and Farage loses. The monumental Farage huff would be hilarious.
The poles making the media happy
I have to agree with this prediction from Tim. Farage will have to get those left of centre conservatives on board before he takes over the Tories , won't be easy.
There are no left of centre conservatives
The centre right doesn't want Farage he's toxic
@@SlowhandGreg but there are anti brexit tories
Was going to say I enjoyed the video until I got two disgusting bit halfway through
There spread out because there nearly all 50+ men
that's actually a very good point, when you think of a town or city it will be all ages of men and women
Are you ready for Rishi 2.0?
why are you giving farage all this media coverage he will have like between 5 and 10 MP,S whats that 1 percent of the available seats ?
Because he is succeeding in his aim of destroying the Conservative Party
rupert murdoch times radio is obsessed with the loonies
Imagine running a country so poorly for so long that you make a joke like Nigel Farage almost look like a reasonable alternative…
Nigel can have my solution to the problem of immigration. We have hotels full of immigrants that get free beds, free breakfast, free cleaning and we have a Scottish SNP party who welcome more immigrants. I think you know where I'm going with this. Rishi get the coaches ready. 😂
Send them to Ireland as well
😂
They have got concentrated support. It's people like you who try to influence people not to vote REFORM. If you have been polled, please let us know, because I've yet to hear from anyone who has
Oh dear that headline is so reminiscent of the Republicans being taken over by Trump - good luck folks
George & nigel are at opposite ends but may both shake up the establishment which would be good for democracy!
Tories and Reform join, they will need a new Party name. Grifters United
@SilverbackMattunfortunately it’s the British public that suffers the failure of the government. Have you enjoyed that over the last 14 years?
@@dopelyrics6223I agree, globalism has ruined this country and it will be refreshing too see a more national priorities focused government for a change. 👍
Farage is to divisive
Absolute disaster for the NF to get any sniff of power in the UK.
The National Front?
@@ohdearism National Farage or Nigel Front. Might as well be the national Front, though. Some similar outlooks on society
reform will be pointless once the tories are out,, and for every racist fartage brings he looses you three midle class torries
A 3nd of the Brexit vote was from Labour voters, and a larger number of Reforms growing members are from disgruntled Labour voters. There's a reason why Starmer is afraid to debate Farage, because he knows he would end up losing even more of his votes to him.
@@ionlyfearphobophobia there are lots of dole class tory voters but they will never be torries
@@robertallen591 ... and you wonder why Labour are slowly hemorrhaging votes to Reform? The disdain you have for the people you're supposed to be standing up for is incredible.
@@ionlyfearphobophobia labour have no answers but there sane, reform will never win a seat because there mad
@@robertallen591 "Labour have no answers".
At this point I can confidently say Reform will win.
I find Nigel very arrogant, I think what reform is missing is Nigel end goal, he wants to head Conservative.
Immigration is necessary for all countries, as long as its done the correct way.
Well I have the solution for you. We have hotels full of immigrants that get free beds, meals, cleaners etc and we have a Scottish SNP party who welcome more immigration. I think you know where I'm going with this. Rishi, start ordering the coaches.
Yep we need immigration to fulfill the needs of the care sector sad but true

It is amazing how you commentators assume that Adolph will be selected as an mp. He has already tried 7 times before and failed, best to wait for the 5th July before you make these suggestions.
hes likel;y to succeed but likely to have only 5 more mp`s
Farage has a better chance this time in Clacton than he’s ever had before. The Tories are unpopular after 14 years in power.
Also, here’s some details about Clacton:
Became a UKIP seat in 2015 election
75% voted for Leave in 2026 EU referendum
Average population age: 56
Ethnicity: 96% White British
Employment: 43%
Deprivation: 64%
Farage would be an absolute disaster for the broad church of conservatism in this country.
There's a bit of luck
hes far right trying to sell himself as center right
Torys dont need Farage to be a disaster they are perfectly capable on their own
There isn't any Broad Church. The leadership are left of centre liberals. Immigration the most obvious indication, far higher than even Blair.
@@vincentvangogh8092Le Pen, Wilders, Viktor Orban and the new right-wing in Germany are way to the right of Nigel Farage. That's in the EU though, we don't mention that.
The current polls are based on surveys from early June so are not indicative of the current surge in Reform voters.
Kate is an impossibly boring political commentator.
Russian bot farms working very hard to elevate the almost non-existant Reform support into something noticeable. 🤣🤣🤣
It’s amazing isn’t it. A party with madder policies than Liz Truss get a free pass in the media. This is like being back in 2014 / 2015 all over again
The russia report may well stop this ...
