@Proconversation @RyanEdward_Uk @JoMichaels17 I mean that dyslexics can still learn to spell and punctuate. They might need extra effort and training. Much in the same way a one legged person can, with the right help learn to walk.

@MikeARPowell @RyanEdward_Uk @JoMichaels17 What does that mean Dyslexia does not excuse you from education … You show a lack of understanding regarding Dyslexia. I will agree no one needs to swear.

I’ve put my name forward to be a parliamentary candidate for Reform UK! This country needs change and it isn’t Restore Britain, Liberal Democrat’s, The Conservative Party, Labour, Greens. Britain needs Reform Have you put your name forward? standforreform.com

@MartinKnight_ I don't think Noddy Holder is well enough.

Slade are all mercifully still with us. Please get together one last time. Do Glastonbury & lift the country out of its misery. If only for a day. ##TakeMeBakHome

@GlamBecks21 Yes

Would you vote for Nigel Farage and Reform UK if there was a general election right now. Yes or No?

@reddingtonwise @ms_samldn @lucymarionbrown You people are bonkers! Oh, by the way, 9/11 and the moon landings did take place.

@ms_samldn @lucymarionbrown It is schizo tier thinking, but I do genuinely think the state could have done this to preempt security concerns for politicians, adding legitimacy to Farage's donations, taking the heat off him as their anointed successor and PM in waiting. They're all containment after all.

My gut tells me this Ann Widdecombe thing is really, really bad

@BerisfordRon He doesn't seem put off.

😳

If England beats the Argies, that's the World Cup done for me!

@BillEtheridgeuk I think we'll know very soon.

@MikeARPowell It’s a political fragmentation that will last until a strong , media savvy leader with no skeletons emerges and mops up the opposition. I’ve got a feeling it’s more likely Kemi than nigel now but who knows

Without people like this dragging the Conservatives to the left I would never had a career with UKIP. Now that so many of us have returned to help the party fight back we need these wets gone

@BillEtheridgeuk Yes. A failed Prime Minister could stay in Number 10 Downing Street (or Number 10 Coronation Street) as a puppet.

@MikeARPowell If nigel falls reforms support may drop to the point where there are 5 parties all within a few points. Chaos

@BillEtheridgeuk It's bigger because both the Conservatives and Labour have unusually lost a lot of support at the same time. It will be very interesting. Unfortunately, I think Burnham realises this and will go for PR. I hate to think of a handful of Green MPs trying to wag the dog.

@MikeARPowell Yep and this looks and feels similar just on a bigger scale

@BillEtheridgeuk Confidence and Supply or just Minority Government and bill by bill? Is there a difference?

@MikeARPowell I’m not a fan of coalitions I prefer voting issue by issue and keeping a distance . Tories supporting reform and reform imploding through some scandal would be a disaster. Better stand apart in my view

@BillEtheridgeuk Currently, my greatest political worry is that Prime Minister Burnham could bring in a proportional voting system that could lock the radical right out of government and keep failed Prime Ministers in power.

@BillEtheridgeuk We've seen this before haven't we?

@MikeARPowell Probably an ugly public row then whoever replaces him would instantly drop 5 to 10%. Nigel is a huge selling point.

@BillEtheridgeuk Kemi has said she wouldn't do deals; I hope this doesn't mean ruling out right wing coalitions after the people have voted.

@MikeARPowell Fortunately I would have absolutely no say in the matter but I might be inclined to take a very distant backseat if that happened

@BillEtheridgeuk I'm not sure Reform has any idea how to replace him. There are potential talented leaders but I'm not sure there would be a smooth transfer.

@MikeARPowell And risking his whole movement at the same time . My guess is this will all get too much for him eventually and he will arrange some kind of exit with honour next year

@BillEtheridgeuk If Reform UK was the biggest party but short of a majority, I can't imagine you being very happy for the Conservatives to get themselves involved in a Keep Reform Out coalition. The maths might make that a reality.

@MikeARPowell Maybe but it didn’t work that way in Italy . Their leader is pretty right wing

@BillEtheridgeuk He is sailing very close to the wind.

@MikeARPowell Don’t discount voter fatigue and the effect of repeated accusations of misbehaviour over finances . He is treading a very perilous path

@chrisjlatimer Argentina is an artificial implant in South America. The clue is the Spanish they speak.

Is John trolling? We don't decide the future of territories based on a game of football.

@BillEtheridgeuk The first one is the biggest risk. If he gets to a 2nd one I'd expect him to win as main political parties all try to replace him.

@MikeARPowell It was a huge misjudgment and gains him nothing because if he wins the chances are another by election will be forced when the standards committee reports

There are a couple of pubs I’d really like watch England win in tomorrow. A bit of a trek though.

@BillEtheridgeuk His opponents have managed to wash their hands of the by election and get themselves an unofficial proxy candidate. This needn't have happened.

@MikeARPowell I’m sure nigel will win but by how much .. however that is just the start of his problems the investigations will run on and on.
