Nigel Farage, man of the people, welcomes his latest billionaire to Reform

Like our Nige, Nick Candy doesn’t appear to have any solutions to anything … but he does have very deep pockets

Several Range Rovers with blacked out windows pulled up outside the TV studios in Westminster. Out stepped Theresa May. Awkward. If she’d known her arrival was going to coincide with a Reform party photo call, she’d have probably asked the driver to go round the block again. Just in case people jumped to conclusions. Not that there was much chance of anyone imagining that the Maybot was about to leave the Tory party and defect to Reform. But better safe than sorry.

These are happy days for Nigel Farage. OK, so Donald Trump might have gone a little cold on him. The Donald’s apparatchiks have been letting it be known that the president-elect regards Nige as an eccentric fanboy, basking in the reflected glory. But back in the UK things are hunky dory. The Tories are barely alive and Labour haven’t got off to the best of starts. To put it kindly.
