Not sure Farage cares that much

He’s a hired grifter doing this for the money. He just wants the cash, and to get on the tele. Hard to see him putting his back into a coalition of the right, but his backers may just try to flush enough money into the right to buy them into some kind of coalition. Same applies to Tice if you ask me. There may be others in Reform that are true believers who might be willing to put the work in, but not sure they have the media presence.

What is also becoming clear is that Reform have two key problems. One is that it appears “the left” are willing to vote very tactically to keep Reform out. I would - id vote for any of Green/Lab/Libdem to stop a Reform candidate. Hell, I’d vote Con if I needed to. Their second problem is finding credible candidates. Kenyon came across as a moron. Thick as f**king mince. I think I could train an Alsatian to answer questions more eloquently than he did. Other than a handful of seniors hired/borrowed from elsewhere, they have really struggled to find candidates that don’t come across as incompetent morons or genuine odd balls. That is going to be a problem for them, although at a GE candidates get a lot less individual scrutiny.
