I imagine Rupert Lowe will be putting somebody up against him.
Rupert Lowe has said he will have a candidate in the 'second' election after Farage is censored by the enquiry

This is the single-most incredible thing I've ever seen on a betting exchange.

Rumours that Andy Capp might call an early election...ere we go again .I can't see it happening because Labour after decades of becoming right wing ,are now are about as popular as root canal treatment.And just look at the alternatives .Tories and Reform .Mind you since Farage has become 5 million pound man ,his popularity is decreasing by the day. The Greens are a bit of a washout and have only been promoted to keep peoples mind off Corbyn's new enterprise (or whatever he's doing).Then there is the lib dems....
What a shower!!!
It's easy to see why half the population never bother voting innit though!!!!

Farage's popularity ISNT decreasing by the day at all. You are just assuming that because of the hysteria pushed into your brain by the mass media and the political system that is trying to destroy him. Nigel Farage and Reform are as popular as they have ever been with their own supporters and they are the only ones who count.

These clowns in the UNI PARTY don't realise that if Nigel Farage is forced out of his position as leader of Reform, Rupert Lowe will take over and the party will increase its strength over night. A Reform Party lead by Rupert Lowe will be UNSTOPPABLE at the next general election.

Plus, ANYBODY saying the wouldn't accept a £5 million cash gift is a liar and a hypocrite.

I agree there is much hysteria over events today. The internet this evening is chock full of Farage-haters patting themselves on the back and declaring Reform are over.

I doubt this changes anything, and the market agrees.

I must say I think Farage has got this wrong ... he is usually on the ball politically but not this time. Did he consider where a boycott by the other parties would leave him? By just him and Binface standing it will be a farce. The only way he can 'win' it is if he increases his vote over his GE votes which he probably won't be able to do because who is going to bother voting in a non-election? And if he gets less votes than at the GE he has left himself wide open to attacks that he has lost the constituents. It beggars belief that he should do such a stupid thing ... I hope he proves me wrong.

So farage is right and everyone else is wrong? I would also have thought that looking at his background he has done little else than embrace the establishment,and he has also done extremely well out of the political system.

If he has so much disdain for the political system why doesn't he give back his EU pension ,and why does he bother actively partaking in the very political system he says is sowing him up .Let's face it if he got to be PM the only thing that would change is an acceleration of the wealth of the country into the offshore accounts of the rich ,and everybody else could get stuffed.
This sadly is true of all governments and parties .

All it needs now is for the BBC or ITV to offer to host a head to head (no pun intended) debate between the candidates.

That would definetly put him in a awkward no win situation

I think Farage would bite the hand off for that opportunity. 30+ mins of prime-time TV to debate the benefits of Reform, effectively unopposed. And everyone would be watching for the craic!

I'm not so sure he would have an easy ride, once you know who is behind Binface. Very astute, intelligent and politically switched on

I think he might actually give Farage a hard time
