"Resigned as mp to fight a by election… What that does is basically stop the parliamentary investigation into his conduct " Yep, pre emptive. He was going to get suspended, which would have resulted in the electorate triggering a by election. The optics of him triggering it will play more to his supporters than the investigation, suspension and triggering by the electorate. | |||

"He's not been seen in Clacton for two years, they might want someone who actually does something for them. Has he badly misjudged this?" He is going for "The establishment are trying to bring me down. But the people are on my side" narrative. As the meme says - "It's a bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off for 'em" | |||

They’re the same type of people who helped Trump, they can’t keep to facts and their emotional outbursts fuel his supporters determination to support him. | |||

"the parliamentary investigation is now paused ..... if he does manage to get re-elected then the investigation will resume with a potential 10+ day suspension and a recall for a further by-election." If he wins this by-election what would be the point of suspending him to force another by-election when he would logically win that too. He has taken a gamble | |||

"Nigel Farage is probably the most successsfull politician of modern times. He campaigned for the UK to leave the EU and led a very successfull campaign resulting in a win and a victory for democracy He then founded the Reform Party who are currently leading in the opinion polls. You can hardly get any greater success than that " Entirely True and Factual Many who dislike him should look at themselves in the mirror and wonder where they went wrong | |||

"I don't understand his thinking. If he wins, what's to stop the commissioner coming back at him again?" Nothing stops the commissioner re-starting the investigation. But doing this gives him a weapon against the journalists. At the moment they all say "the public wants to know". If Farage gets about the same number of votes as he did last time he'll be able to say "It's a non-story. We've already had a by-election that showed that people don't care about this". If the commission subsequently find that he did break the rules and should be sanctioned, to his supporters it'll look like Farage is being persecuted because he's popular. | |||

"Which is why I don’t think any party is going to run a candidate against him this time round… and show it up for the stunt that it is!" From the viewpoint of someone on the left it might make it look like a stunt, but to Farage's supporters it looks like all the other parties are scared to face him. From Farage's position it's a win-win. If he gets more votes than last time he'll be able to claim that his support has gone up. If he gets less he can say that his supporters stayed at home knowing that he'd win anyway. | |||

You (and others) are fighting the semantics to make the point that they were legal - okay. We know that they likely were. Do you really believe that there will not be quid pro quo? | |||

You have highlighted the nuance in politics and opinion. Starmer took gifts, low level gifts but those gifts provided the supplier of those gifts a pass to No10. That in my opinion is no different than Farage, but people we will justify their anger at Farage and lenience towards Starmer in monitory value. The reality is Starmer gave the keys to N010 away for a pair of glasses and a tailored suit. | |||

"given the facts the only logical conclusion that can be made is that he's obviously so petrified of what the inquiry was going to find he shit his pants and tried to dodge proceedings by resigning" That is your view of this, I see it differently. He has taken the lead head on, and it will either work for him or not. There can be zero conclusion at this point on what the commission would have concluded, so we are left with a politician who is not following the rules, bowing down to media or political pressure. That is the long and short of it, and what will happen next feels like it has fallen in Farage's favour. Could it have been different outcome, yes, but that requires the blood thirsty mob to wind it in and let process take its course, and not be driven by the media. | |||

You (and others) are fighting the semantics to make the point that they were legal - okay. We know that they likely were. Do you really believe that there will not be quid pro quo?" I'm not sure what I've said that's misled you, but I'm not arguing that the gifts were legal. They were, and I don't see anyone saying otherwise. This is all about whether Farage broke parliamentary rules by not declaring things. I can believe that a billionaire might give a friend £5m to help them out. If I had £1000 in my pocket and my friend said he was skint and couldn't afford lunch, I'd give him a fiver, which is the same scale of things. In fact I'd probably buy him lunch and a pint which will be a lot more than a fiver. So I think it might be possible that Farage is telling the truth. Given that it might be true, I'm going to reserve judgement and wait for the Commission's report. If they say it was fine, I'll believe them. If they say it was clearly a bribe, I'll believe that. They have more knowledge and better information than I do. So far in this thread (and the previous one) I haven't tried to argue that Farage is innocent. All I've done is pointed out where people are making stuff up, or twisting the truth to suit their own agenda. If corruption can be proved, I'll condemn him just as loudly as anyone else. But until there's proof, I prefer to give people the benefit of the doubt. | |||

He knows that if he's re-elected the investigation will just continue where it left off, so he knows that he can't dodge anything. If what you said above is your honest belief, you are woefully under-informed. | |||

"due process was taking it's course until he shat his pants and resigned in childish hissy fit out fear of what he knows will be uncovered." The process of investigating was underway, the media and mob coverage added an element that Farage obviously felt wasn't going his way and he decided to take back some control. The negativity and attacks on Farage will play right into his hands, just like it did for Trump. | |||

"Labour decides not to take part….. So just the greens now" Farage might have shot himself in the foot here. Last time he got just over 46% of the vote. If the Greens put up a candidate and everyone that hates Farage holds their nose and votes for the single opponent, he might just lose. The problem for the Greens is that they don't have a stellar record of putting up acceptable candidates, whereas Farage is a known quantity. | |||

He won't be able to dodge due process if he wins the by election as the process is only suspended awaiting the result. aye, if he wins .... thought he was meant to be cutting wasteful spending not increasing it." If he wins he certainly will face due process. If he had shat his pants and was trying to dodge the investigation then he would not personally contest the by election so the exact opposite | |||

"Labour decides not to take part….. So just the greens now Farage might have shot himself in the foot here. Last time he got just over 46% of the vote. If the Greens put up a candidate and everyone that hates Farage holds their nose and votes for the single opponent, he might just lose. The problem for the Greens is that they don't have a stellar record of putting up acceptable candidates, whereas Farage is a known quantity." Not sure about the sentiment towards Farage in Clacton either. I understand it's considered a safe seat for him. But there was some noise about him hardly ever visiting the place after winning there. | |||

"given the facts the only logical conclusion that can be made is that he's obviously so petrified of what the inquiry was going to find he shit his pants and tried to dodge proceedings by resigning Except that he's already said that he will be standing for re-election. He knows that if he's re-elected the investigation will just continue where it left off, so he knows that he can't dodge anything. If what you said above is your honest belief, you are woefully under-informed." But I bet he will then try to say some form of “the people of clacton knew about the investigation and they still elected me… so a 2nd by election is just the establishment stitching me up “ He is trying to have the by election before the result of the investigation is known, because that would probably be worse | |||

But there was some noise about him hardly ever visiting the place after winning there." There's certainly a lot of people that complain that Farage never visits Clacton, but from what I can see they all seem to be supporters of other parties. I've not yet heard of anyone that voted for Farage complaining that he's away too much. | |||

"It's be nice if an MP put forward a Private Member's Bill to outlaw any form of "gifts" to MP's. As long as gifts exist, there will always be accusations of corruption. If I was an MP, I would certainly campaign on this issue. I'd also campaign on making all MP's publicly publish their finances every year. And I'd set up a Probity Office to randomly vet MP's. I want "squeaky clean" politics and MP's. Those that cannot abide by this are not fit to govern." I think this is one of those ideas that sounds great as a sound bite but fails in the real world. “Publish their finances” is one of those terms that holds all sorts of issues. If it simply means those finances related to public life then Farage will claim that his crypto donations don’t fall into that category. In fact that is exactly what he is claiming. If it is all of a persons finances then I can’t see anyone remotely credible standing as an MP if all their banking details would be made public. No one is squeaky clean. A rule I would like to see is if someone resigns as an MP during a parliament and causes a by election then they forfeit the ability to ever become an MP or go to the Lords again. | |||

" I think this is one of those ideas that sounds great as a sound bite but fails in the real world." It only fails if people do not support it. Why would people not support it ? Because they are not prepared to hold themselves to a higher standard. They might mention privacy and other assorted impediments, but fundamentally it's about rigorous standards and holding yourself to them. . The general public as a general rule should demand more and expect more from those who govern us. | |||

Your posts here have been the worse nonsensical hijack attempt I have seen in a long time…it’s deflection overload it not even Jedi mind tricks, it’s… oooh look over here… and there.. and there… and there… but don’t look here .. nothing to see here… ooh look over there again! There is no way Farage tries to pull this if he doesn’t think the standards committee will get him.. and tried to claim victimhood for him for about daughter when she had no link with the property (which is now a massive own goal because we now know he owns 5 homes, which we didn’t before because we knew he had 2, and the other 3 had not been declared which he is supposed to do!) The fact that his bank initially raised potential issues over the 5 million and alerted the police for potential money laundering kinda says it all! We know he can use the members book of interests when it suits him, because even though he hasn’t turned up for the last 78 votes in the House of Commons, his outside earnings in the last year put him 2nd highest only below rishi Sunak, and rishi is so rich he actually gives it all away to charity! The comparison here is Boris Johnson who tried to weasel out of a standards investigation by resigning his seat after the election, but instead they continued it and the result would have been a 90 day ban if he had continued being an mp!

"Looks like a massive miscalculation by Farage here. He should have just let the investigations continue. It would be interesting to see its impact in his support. If he does lose support, the biggest winner here will probably be Rupert Lowe." He has changed the narrative slightly but the core issue isnt going away till the ruling is published and whatever sanction he might get is revealed.. The questions dont go away and there are reform voters who dont like what they've been hearing about crypto, billion money and the convicted fella.. He will be asked and some may conclude for all his man of the people likes a pint etc front he's just like the very establishment he rails against.. | |||

This makes me embarrassed to call myself a Conservative, as my Conservative party are showing themselves as cowards. But then the majority of political parties today are woke leftist cowards and that includes the Conservatives. | |||

What’s that old maxim ‘When your opponent is humiliating himself to try and distract people from all the money crypto billionaires have paid him, let him debate Count Binface’ Wrong; Labour, Conservatives, Liberal Dems and Greens are Cowards who are far too frightened to stand up against Nigel Farage. This makes me embarrassed to call myself a Conservative, as my Conservative party are showing themselves as cowards. But then the majority of political parties today are woke leftist cowards and that includes the Conservatives." You forgot to mention Restore…they’re not standing either. Never knew Rupert was a woke leftist coward but you learn some new every day. | |||

"..and we now appear to have more banks releasing details of other unexplained donations to other members of Reform raising suspicion of money laundering." "That seems very unlikely given that releasing an individual's financial information is in contradiction to several laws. But I'm always happy to be educated. Do you have any sources that you could point us to?" "I think they're required by law to report suspicious activities that could possibly be money laundering." They are indeed. But reporting suspicions to the appropriate authorities is not the same as "more banks releasing details". | |||

"The fact that his bank initially raised potential issues over the 5 million and alerted the police for potential money laundering kinda says it all! Given that this is the same bank that unlawfully closed his account to avoid reputational damage, and then lied about it to the regulator, maybe their actions should be viewed with a little more suspicion. ..and we now appear to have more banks releasing details of other unexplained donations to other members of Reform raising suspicion of money laundering. That seems very unlikely given that releasing an individual's financial information is in contradiction to several laws. But I'm always happy to be educated. Do you have any sources that you could point us to? I too would be really interested in this data breach, what's the chances it is non-fictional? " There’s a story in the Grauniad, Tice threatened an injunction and then ran off to the Telegraph to try and get a puff piece, as is the Reform way. Word is that knowing it was coming, Nige sought to get out ahead of it. Poor Nige, the walls are closing in, and using Trumpian tactics just isn’t working. | |||

"There are quite a few Reform/Restore types on here. Please block us - if we haven't blocked you already. And "Vote Binface!"" I'm always amazed at the number of left-leaning people that come into this forum specifically to post about how intolerant they are. To the extent that even just posting to correct an obvious untruth gets one labelled as a "Reform spokesman" and subject to the block button. | |||

" Farage is trying to take control of the narrative, the decision to not stand against him will send a number of messages. His staunch supporters will associate it to a joint effort to close him down. Those that oppose him will see a joint effort to expose him. The extremes of support are not what is interesting, it is the voters who are normally centre tory or labour voters who voted for Reform and Farage, they are now not going to be tested and they are the people who decide an election. | |||

Until about three years back, there were people here saying they block the ones who vote for the Conservatives. Now it's Reform. I promise you. You are better off being blocked by those people. I have been to some BDSM events where I have come across similar people whose entire personality is shaped around their politics and couldn't avoid bringing up Brexit or Trump into any discussion and tell us how they don't play with people on the other side of the political spectrum, like anyone cares. It's hard to have any kind of fun conversation around them because it usually means you have to strictly follow their moral code. I also occasionally come across such characters in my normal life who sever friendships if someone dares vote for a party they don't like. Again, you don't really want to be friends with them in the first place | |||

"Farage is trying to take control of the narrative, the decision to not stand against him will send a number of messages." With all parties acting in unison to boycott the by-election, one of those messages will be that there really is a "uniparty", with all political parties being basically the same. It might not be true, but it'll certainly look that way to the sort of people that want to see a move away from "the establishment", and will think that Farage is the only way to achieve that. | |||

Ooh… wonder where tice got that idea from *checks notes * the guardian asked Farage for comment on the five million… asks for two days to respond… runs to the telegraph for his puff piece Well… have to congratulate reform for running the same play! just a shame people cottoned on this time!
*checks notes* you mean the guardian asked Farage for comment on the extra owned houses… ran to the telegraph for his puff piece alleging the press doorstepped his daughter….
At this stage you wonder who is more gullible… the guardian for believing farage will get back to them for comment.. or the telegraph for taking his call and telling them he will give them an exclusive puff piece! | |||

I clarified my view in a post above. Such people who base their life choices around politics are truly miserable and don't vibe with me. So such self selection doesn't bother me the least. | |||

But we aren't talking about not wanting to have sex with someone, we're talking about someone coming into a thread purely to post that they don't like someone else. If they had "no right wing people" in their profile, I'd support that. If that sort of thing is important to you, you should say so at the beginning. But actively looking for people that you don't like and then posting a message to say publicly that you don't like them is a different action. | |||

They have the right to do so. It just comes across like some childish virtue signalling. No one gives a fuck about who you or anyone else for that matter blocks. And I have the freedom of speech to call out this silliness. | |||

"Getting back to Farage... How on earth can the electoral system allow this rubber faced joker, or any other politician, to resign and then immediately stand again as a candidate in the by election he has just triggered? Am I missing something? " Is it very different from a Govt "going to the country" by calling a general election early, in the hope of being re elected? Same thing surely at a local level. Not taking any sides here, just my opinion. | |||

"How on earth can the electoral system allow this rubber faced joker, or any other politician, to resign and then immediately stand again as a candidate in the by election he has just triggered?" Back in the days when politicians had honour, this is what was expected if an MP was accused of wrongdoing. They would resign to show good faith, and then offer themselves for re-election to see if the electorate still wanted them to continue. Obviously it doesn't get used that way nowadays, but there's nothing wrong with a system allowing it. | |||

"Amazing that people who don’t like being blocked because of their values and behaviour never think to look at what it is about themselves that is causing people to find them so unattractive. It’s always ‘waaaah, waaaah, they are being horrible to us.’" I don't see anyone going "waaaah". One person has made it clear that he doesn't care who blocks him. I certainly don't care if I'm blocked by those that put their emotions before their logic. No I've at all had complained about being blocked. What I find amazing is that so many people are willing to publicly state that they've banned a bunch of people based on almost no evidence. Having read through this thread again I can't find anything to indicate that any of the respondents actually supports Farage. There's one guy that says "gets my vote", but he might be talking about a specific action rather than Farage in general. I never cease to be astonished when people are so willing to polarise everything, saying "if you're not actively joining me in condemning him, you must be his supporter and therefore my enemy". | |||
