When Rupert announced his party I had already been a member of Reform for just a week or so.
Loyalty is important to me, very important.
I had flirted with Advance, not joined them and Rupert seemed to be stalling following a weekend of febrile speculation.
I have written that I was all in with Reform and that I felt at home.
However home is not always where the heart is.
Rupert has the momentum. He is doing something different. Something that comes along once in every few generations if we are lucky.
Reform have my love and support as do all it's members, activists and candidates. Where they are the most likely winner I will always support them as the patriotic choice. In that sense I am still all in.
However, Rupert as I have said is my political soul mate, I have said this from the beginning. We need bold, uncompromising and unapologetic leadership.
We need someone who rips up the rules and rewrites them for our country and people.
I ran a poll yesterday to see where you, my followers, were at. The results were staggering. Over 1300 voted, more than in some local by-elections and in samples used by pollsters. I attach the screenshot here.
I am forever grateful to any Reform supporters who have supported me and backed me, it means the world, however my bio has always stated "independent voice" and whilst I can be supported that support does not shackle me it is for me to keep doing what I do, for us, not a party.
I am owned by the British people. My loyalty is to their best interests and that alone.
I am going to be supporting Rupert, in my world that does not mean I am stopping supporting Reform UK, I want unity and I want to win. Reform UK will always get my support in contests where there is no other winnable alternative.
Lastly as always I urge unity. An end to civil warfare and attacks from all sides. We must move on with one goal, even if that is under different leaders and banners. Many regiments, one army.
I have removed replies from this post so it stands alone. The atmosphere is too heady. Comments and arguments rage. My words need to stand by themselves.
