Has Britain Had Enough of Nigel Farage and Reform?
Narrative Analysis: Name Calling
The tide is turning on Reform UK. On Novara Live, Dalia Gebrial says this is the first time that Nigel Farage and his associates are being tested by the press – and they’re failing to answer the most “rudimentary” of questions. “The person who has fraudulently positioned themselves as an anti-establishment politician… is actually the most establishment of all,” she adds.

Farage faces backlash over ‘failed’ Tory recruits
UK barrister and broadcaster Andrew Eborn says Nigel Farage has faced significant criticism and accusations of hypocrisy for welcoming a series of "failed Tories" into Reform UK. “Farage and others within Reform criticise a lot of those in the Tory Party, saying how weak and dreadful they were … then all of a sudden welcoming them into the party [Reform],” Mr Eborn told Sky News Digital Presenter James Bolt. “It gives all of their critics the perfect accusation that what they’re doing is engaging failed Tories. “The hypocrisy of that when they’ve spoken vehemently against them. “We need an honest, transparent politician.”

Hannah Spencer vs Reform: 'The Maths Is Not Maths-ing'
What could be funnier than the idea that Nigel Farage is an honest man? On Newsnight, Green party MP Hannah Spencer faced off against Reform's candidate for London mayor Laila Cunningham – and laughed at the suggestion that Farage has been "very honest" amid a scandal over an undeclared £5m gift. Spencer said Farage’s decision to trigger and then stand in a new byelection – which he has presented as a referendum on his character amid allegations of wrongdoing – will be bad for his constituents. "What it does is it throws people in that constituency, who are already struggling, like so many people in the country, into further turmoil," Spencer said.

Happy Brexit Day
On June 23, 2016, the British people voted to withdraw from the European Union in a vote called Brexit. Not many people are happy with the outcome after vainglorious promises weren't kept. Experts say the British economy is between 4 and 8 smaller than it would have been had the country voted to remain in the EU. That would translate to much higher living standards and billions more pumped into public services, including the cherished National Health Service, which was promised an extra 350 million pounds (468 million) a week by Brexit campaigners. That pledge was emblazoned on their big red campaigning bus. Brexit has made the U.K. economy smaller than it otherwise would have been, said Jonathan Portes, professor at King's College London. The effect has not been a sudden collapse, but a gradual and cumulative drag on trade, investment and productivity, he wrote in an article for The UK in a Changing Europe think tank.

MAGA Ally Quits 24 Hours After Trump Backing
Jonathan Bachman / Jonathan Bachman/Getty ImagesDonald Trump’s embattled ally in the U.K. announced he’s stepping down as an elected official less than 24 hours after the president posted a message of support. Nigel Farage, the 62-year-old leader of the populist right-wing Reform UK party, says he is, bizarrely, resigning as a British member of parliament to trigger a fresh contest for the seat he already holds—a move that will apparently allow him “to stick two fingers up to the establishment.”Farage has faced mounting outcry over a slew of scandals concerning alleged personal donations from high-net-worth individuals and, in one case, a convicted criminal. Trump, 80, had on Monday thrown his weight behind the controversial politician. Read more at The Daily Beast.
