Mike Jones(@technopopulist):The thing you’ve got to realise about Reform UK is that it is the most contradictory political party on planet Earth. It contains some of the loveliest, most compassionate and smartest people you will ever meet. The party activists are just great people. But it also contains outright gangsters and bluffers. People who are deeply immoral and, frankly, hideous. People with fantasies of living the “SW1 Dream”: the liquid lunches, the Machiavellian scheming, the Kennedy-esque discussions about money and keeping things “under wraps”, the private briefings and leaks to the press. These people have not only hoodwinked the party activists. They have hoodwinked Nigel Farage himself.
