Five Mil Froggie is gonna claim they’re bullying him by not ganging up on him.
Comment on Political rivals vow to boycott byelection after Farage quits as MP

It’s impressive to see the other parties unified in their strategy, which also seems to be a smart one. I heard Zack Polanski say (can’t remember when) that the people of Clacton need to reject Farage, so I wondered if they were running a candidate, but that’s not the case either.

Reform UK Ltd MPs are already trotting that line out in morning TV interviews.

Every time they interview reform they should have bin face inas well, to provide balance.

You’re trying to make ‘Five Mil Froggie’ a thing, huh?

Maybe they’re not unified because they believe in a common good, but instead because it serves the interests of each of them to see Farage make a fool of himself and potentially lose support in the polls

I’m not in/from Britain myself but it does seem to make him look foolish.
Like in a comedy when a volunteer is sought from a line of people and everyone but one inattentive person takes a step back.

Well yeah. Farage is a threat to everyone one way or another.
He’s eating the conservatives alive they need to get rid of him.
He’s pulling Labour to the right and there is some understanding within the party that that’s not a good thing.
The Lib Dems are finding it difficult enough to get anyone to vote for them when there’s only other two options, they don’t need a third
He’s not really a threat to the Greens, I suspect they just want him gone because he’s a in the pockets of the oil industry.
And of course Rupert Lowe hates him, and it’s totally on board with anything that humiliates Farage.

They already said they aren’t fielding a candidate there.
