What are the British press finally hounding Farage for what has been known for years?

He's always had the veil of deniability by staying just the right side of accusations - the current batch don't have any veil on them at all though.
So he's following the Trumpian playbook of denial => play down => everyone does it etc

The dog whistle has become an alarm whistle

Whether it moves the voters remains to be seen

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

The veil was very thin to begin with but now it's pretty much transparent. There is also a world of difference between comedy that has since been deemed unacceptable and saying Hitler was right to gas the Jews to a Jew, which has never been right in any context.

Because everyone keeps calling Fararge racist and that makes people mad. When will the left learn, amirite?

Can't see reform voters jumping ship to Labour, Libs or greens. That leaves the Conservatives who are picking up slightly in the poles.

I can see Labour voters turning to the Libs, greens, PC and SNP.

How this reflects years later at a GE who knows. The locals could be interesting.

I think the hardcore Reform base doesnt go anywhere, allegations of Farage being racist at 13 coming out 50 years later arent swinging any neutrals leaning reform, there may be some Tories who wanted to punish them return....

Labour voters have a decision, either their vote is split amongst lib dems, green, PC and SNP, or they collude against Reform and strategically pull out of certain regions to ensure a non Reform winner, as we have seen recently.

I think a coalition is likely, but depending on how spineless leaders are..
