- Nigel Farage spoke at a news conference in London in the wake of one YouGov poll that showed Reform ahead of the Tories for the first time.
He claims: "If you vote Conservative in the Red Wall, you will almost certainly get Labour - a Conservative vote in the Red Wall is now a wasted vote. We are now the challengers to Labour - we are now the real opposition".

I'm not religious but l'm praying for Reform.
In the church of reform with our lord and Savior Nigel Farage, Lord protector of the realm
Reform the UK
Reform are just another con trick by serial grifter Farage and his dodgy mates. Not even a proper political party - a plc 85% owned by him and Tice, with no actual manifesto. Anyone who thinks they will do anything for ordinary people is living in fantasy land. They just play the immigrant card and plan to commercialise the NHS.
No we don't want the Tories as opposition
Lib Dem as opposition would probably be the best of what’s going
Zero seats for the Tories
We want labour has the opposition
@@Michaelsrevelation I don't know who I'd put as the opposition but I certainly wouldn't pick Labour

It's not "Farage claims", it's "according to the polls"
One poll, up by 1% 😂 with some other polls showing they are behind. Farage is just as delusional as his supporters.
The poll is a general one as well, it does not also take into account how many seats they can win. The latest poll shows that they are estimated to win one to three seats only 😂 but sure, they are the new opposition 😂😂
One poll... Not plural
Failures gone to weasel Farage head, failed at Brexit, at 7 times not elected to parliament, and personal relationships! Wants desperately to wreck the UK more? Desperately sad! 🇬🇧

This despite the polls trying hard to cover it up, like with Leave.

Labour and conservatives = one nation politicians
And reform 🫣
Sadly one nation Conservatism was driven out by the Eton Mafia and Labour are still in recovery from one of their looney left phases.
Farrage did immense damage with Brexit which a lot of voters are now only beginning to realise. Farrage is also very far from flavour of the month in Scotland.

Bit of a contradiction that one.
Farage is an ex-commodity trader. He's rich and so were his parents, he socialises with the elite while banking with Coutts. He's just another one of them.

Farage is really going for it isn’t he. I think this could be his best chance to get his foot right in the door. He wasn’t planning on it at the first place but if what he says is true I think he’s seen a real opportunity
I think the entire process needs changing. We need to vote initially on a Manifesto.....what do we want for health, education, crime, safety? What do we all agree for taxation? What do we all agree for defence? Then, once via voting we have agreed a Manifesto we have an Election to select the person / team to implement it all. My belief is we all agree on far more than we disagree and the current system is too open to abuse.
2024, and we can never hear the questions clearly??. Wtf
how does net zero immigration work in a neoliberal economy with no raise in productivity? People just want to see a dentist and get a mortgage.
It ultimately won't. Immigration is a key factor impacting this country, but Nigel farage is acting like it is the only issue. Climate change, the mega rich and all sorts of factors are also issues that effect things like housing, and ultimately he's chosen the option of easy hoarding of resources and division
lol 3 years I’ve been waiting to be on the list at my local dentist.
oh so we neeed these people but yet 700k a year hasn't fixed it yet? don't make me laugh our productivity is falling anyway so immigration isn't helping anyway
@@SashedPotato oh so we neeed these people but yet 700k a year hasn't fixed it yet? don't make me laugh our productivity is falling anyway so immigration isn't helping anyway
Immigrant workers are under represented per capita in the social services. They're a net drain.
And they don't bring houses and infrastructure with them, we bring in the population of a large city every year and wonder why we can't build enough houses to get out of a housing shortage. Hmmmmmm I wonder.
GDP per capita is decreasing with increases in immigration, wages are not keeping up with inflation. The model of importing in cheap labour IS NOT WORKING in its current form.
Also a population doesn't need to grow for an economy to grow, that's silly.
some of these comments man... Nigel and Reform are the best picks
Ikr. Too many normies who haven't woken up yet.

@@RogerMellie-yk3gwthey can trace their roots back to UKIP….and in the 2015 GE they polled 3rd behind the Tories and Labour, let that sink in for a minute…people often ponder why Cameron gave in on a Brexit vote, he didn’t have a choice - he was about to lose his party to UKIP.
If we’d had proportional representation in ‘15 the Tories would’ve had to form a coalition Gov with UKIP (they polled 12%, for comparison the LibDems polled 8%)….Reform (Irene rather the effect they’ll have on the Conservative Party is not to be underestimated.

IM A LONDON CABBIE AND SIR AND WILL BE VOTING REFORM
This is marvelous the Tories had a chance to change the voting system to AV back in 2011 and they campaigned against it. AV might've saved Tory MPs at this election. FPTP most certainly won't. This is karma in action, I'm gonna be downing a lot of shots on election night.
In 2011, 67.9% rejected an Alternative Vote in a referendum (42% turnout).
@@FontaineDerby indeed after the Tories and Tory media campaigned against it by lying through their teeth mostly. So yes this is karma in action AV could've saved dozens of Tory MPs on July 4th, FPTP absolutely definitely won't.
It's only one poll... Once Sunak and his team are gone, and a moderate takes over the party, Farage will become once again, relegated to CZcams videos only.
He isn't in opposition. The tories will be the opposition. Not enough people have lost their minds to put this rubber faced arse anywhere near power
VOTE REFORM 🇬🇧
Nah. Too racist
Bot comment
Why?
@@mooseduck it is a bot comment. Then again, most CZcams comments are
Farage has had 37 appearances on BBC's premier political programme QT, including the other day, despite 7 failed attempts to be elected to parliament, the last one beaten by a man in a dolphin suit. Only one pollster put Reform on 19% others are around 13%. They won just 2 council seats and their predecessor parties won just 2 seats ever in parliament which were sitting Tory MP incumbents. He's not normal. He went to private schools, Dulwich college and worked as a commodities broker in the city of London.

I don't want an insurance based health system like the US. They failed utterly to explain how they'll pay for their tax plans... Tice rambled about PAYE... And, if I donate money, I want a say in the party, like I would with all other parties. Why can't I have a say with Reform?

Yea, why? No one has said why and Farage hasn't actually explained his policies. Tice couldn't explain their polices...

I'm not voting for them and either are most of the public. For working class people the Green Parties measures on tax and investment would be the most beneficial followed by Lib Dems and Labour. Reform's plans to cut tax will not benefit the poorest earning to little to pay tax and higher up the income scale the rich benefit far more. Reform are like Lizz's Conservatives, more right wing so why would they benefit the poor? Farage praised Lizz's budget and we know what happened.
My prediction. Labour will win this election. Reform and the Conservatives will restructure under Nigel as leader to become a new 'Reformed' Conservative Party to question and challenge Labour in Parliament and will go on to lead our country at the next future elections. Does anyone think the same ?
Being a hair ahead of the most hated party ever is not the win He makes out...
Only because of the inertia and stupidity of the electorate.
In ONE poll. Presumably if he was leading he'd declare himself PM for life.
When its been done for the first time in history then it is
You'd not be surprised to know that Reform are the 2nd most hated party according to YouGov polling with negative 57 (Tories are negative 70)
@@ralphoperaphile true. Don't think I'll bother voting. Or just pick one at random.
This would be the best opposition, we don’t need a change of number 10, this country needs new ideas and new opposition. Reform is the only party that stands up for Britain in British politics.
Agree
Are they even running enough to make an opposition
Farage is a very effective communicator. He has the demagogue's ability to simplify complex issues. I don't believe he is a demagogue incidentally. But Nigel is a welcome breath of fresh air in what has become a very stuffy political environment.

I find this harrowing in all honesty. This is a very clever man, but a very selfish one and it is horrible to see how well he has wrapped people in his one trick pony immigration blame game, when we should actually be solving things by redistribution of wealth away from the mega wealthy
Nigel is a coward. Look how he ran after Brexit. Just wait. He has no spine or chin
He's like a spiv. If he'd been alive in the war, he'd have been selling nylons and petrol coupons.
Or maybe a lot of people just agree with what he's saying and have been for a long time even before reform existed? It's not all about leftie socialist policies mate that's exactly what people supporting reform don't like
Because it's a serious issue that other parties don't want to address. People can brush it aside all they want but look what happened with Brexit, people want change with regards to immigration and they will vote for it.
Ignore it no more and start fixing it.
