Nigel Farage: I will lead political revolt to topple the Tories
Nigel Farage declared “I’m back” on Monday as he returned to front-line politics and vowed to lead a “political revolt” aimed at toppling the Conservative Party.
Reversing his decision not to stand in the general election, Mr Farage said he would run to become the MP for Clacton and also replace Richard Tice as leader of Reform.
At a press conference in London, Mr Farage warned that backing the Tories was a “wasted vote” and even claimed Reform had a chance of winning more support than them at the ballot box.
Unfortunately we are in a situation where any vote for a major party is a wasted vote. As things stand, "Sir" Keir Starmer seems likely to become PM on a great pile of wasted votes.
Oh well, perhaps we may hope for something more worthwhile to emerge, because even Jeremy Corbyn would fancy his chances against Sunak's Tories.

It's good news, though, that Farage is standing. That will boost the Reform vote, which is pretty much all we have as a voice at present. I see Sunak is promising to cut immigration visas this morning. The lumbering useless behemoth is at least vaguely aware of its environment.
Sam - yes it is good news. It's good to have an major uncertainty injected into the electoral game because a Labour landslide would be very damaging.
