"It would be better for Nigel Farage if he is the only Reform candidate to become an MP" - Rachel Cunliffe

Freddie Hayward and Rachel Cunliffe discuss the unravelling of Reform UK as yet another candidate has suspended her campaign - and defected to the Conservatives.

With less that two days to go until the general election, they also discuss the hypocritical Conservative attacks on Keir Starmer who has said he will try Tory candidates who are already vying to take over the party leadership after the election.

    I can’t wait to see the back of the Tories.
  • @hamiltonmews
    One Reform candidate resigning, is hardly "freefall". Nice propaganda piece though.
  • @mbx4699
    All this twaddle because Starmer wants to spend some time with his family says everything about the state of politics and the Conservatives
  • @Squarepeg57
    I’m sure if something big happened on a Friday evening that Kier Starmer (as Prime Minister) would be on the job. I think it’s amazing that the Tory press have taken this as an attack line after supporting Johnson who was largely absent from his duties on most days.
  • @suecharman2887
    If 61 is too old to work, Starmer's age, can you bring the retirement age down please instead of putting it up.
  • @buzzukfiftythree
    There are a good many single parent families in our country who are the result of workaholic, detached fathers. Good on Starmer for declaring that his family are as important to him as being PM.
  • @Embark2023
    The only thing in free fall is trust in the media! Why is media spending is much effort going after a party that’s only going to get a few seats?
  • @dereks1264
    Oswald Mosely went to Winchester so .... As for the Tories attacking Starmer for wanting to spend Friday nights with his family, it simply shows how desperate they are.
  • @davebento1548
    And what about all the tory MP's who don't work full time as MP's because they do other jobs ???
  • Where should he have his dinner on a Friday night? It is completely irrelevant.
  • @wendycurrie9629
    Reform in freefall? 5000 people turned up at a Rally on Sunday. Just because a plant tried to derail Reform does not amount to freefall. VOTE REFORM!
  • @amorosogombe9650
    I just wish the next UK government focuses on delivering economic relief for the base of the pyramid. That's what's so key for the UK 🇬🇧.
  • @diddybopper2052
    ‘Reform is in freefall’. Never has the phrase ‘the wish is the father of the thought’ been more true here.
  • @Ricimer671
    A serious question for you politically astute out there --- Reform is a company owned by Farage, can Farage fire one of his own MP's?
