    I disagree. You’re basing your argument on him continuing to have the same levels of support from the public and media. That’s hardly a given, is it? Even sections of the right wing media that have blown so much smoke up his cloaca for years are starting to turn on him.

      and are they likely to turn away from the stuff he wants to have happen, and will they revert the things he made happen?

      I doubt if the billionaire media owners acquired their fortunes any more honestly than Farage got his much smaller one, and they’ll continue to amplify his every brain fart. And as long as Reform is targeting people hated by the vast herds of gammon and the hooligans, they’ll keep supporting Farage. They don’t care if he’s bent. They’d be a rich cunt like him if they could. He’s a crook, but they see him as their crook.
