Nigel Farage reacts:
“Yes, it’s a victory for sectarian voting. It’s a victory for cheating in elections… last night at the close of play, a very reputable organisation called Democracy Volunteers said in 12% of voting cases, they had witnessed family voting. That means a husband and wife or more going into the privacy of the polling station and effectively watching how the other member of the family votes. This is illegal under the law and yet it appears that the council didn’t do anything about it. So now there’s a debate about fraud in voting. That’s a very good thing.
…It’s postal voting that is being abused massively in this country. We need to get rid of the list. The only people that should ever vote by post are those who are elderly, infirm, or living or working abroad.
…Well, our vote was good. I’m very pleased we doubled our vote. The implications of our vote are that right across the north of England on the 7th of May and elsewhere in those elections we are going to do phenomenally well. Starmer has a massive problem. He’s on the way out.
…The Tory party is completely finished. There’s a resurgent hard left working now with sectarian politics, and emboldened off the back of it the Churchill statue in London has been vandalised overnight calling him a ‘Zionist’ and saying ‘globalise the intifada.’ We are in very big trouble. And the only party that will fight this, that will turn this around, will clean up the voting system, is Reform.”
All eyes now move to May…
Asked about warnings of a civil war in an interview with The House, Reform MP Danny Kruger said:
“Yeah. The only chance of unity for our country is Reform. If we don’t win, or if we win and then make a mess of it, I do fear for our country.”
