Politics: when you’re the host and it’s not your party

Matt Goodwin wrote a thought provoking post about Reform and the challenges it faces and I replied in a Facebook post, as below:

Matt raises a valid concern. This isn’t about a problem with Reform’s leader or ideology, it’s an inherent problem with politics – infiltration and undermining by the left and by bad actors.
I said a few years ago, the Tories as no longer the Conservative party, haven’t been for decades, they were and are overrun by left-leaning parasites that just want a seat at the gravy table.

Hence the rise of the term ‘uniparty’

As the BBC no doubt gleefully reported, as others reported, only a few months ago one Reform council candidate (Daniel Turner, Lincs) was suspended after being arrested for fraud – from a charity!
Salient to this particular post, it should be noted that he jumped ship for the Conservatives. Interestingly, the fraud reportedly involved diverting Covid grants meant for a youth centre to his own bank account.

Why is this interesting? Because the next guy was also booted for Covid related fraud. And yet he’s still allowed to be an MP, albeit now independant, ‘cos once you have your face in that trough…

More recently, and higher up the chain, one of Reforms pitifully few MPs – James McMurdock (South Basildon and East Thurrock) was also suspended for alleged fraud.

So, Reform current have Ben Habib going off on one, Rupert Lowe going off on one, this new one booted out, Lee Anderson who has jumped parties more than once… It’s not a good look.

I agree with a lot of what Ben Habib says, though his mantra is so repetitive than I can’t listen to him any more because it’s like hearing a scratched record, or a catchphrase that was clever or witty the first time or two, but gets overused to the point of being annoying.

Agree with almost everything Rupert Lowe says, but it was, it seems, a head-butting exercise with Reform and he threw in the towel.
The other chap, a better deep dive could have caught that.

Same with Lee Anderson. solid bloke. I don’t blame him for hopping parties, but for some, looking for dirt, looking for anything to put down Reform, it’s a bad optic and justifies any mud they want to sling.
This is not a slur on Mr Anderson, it pointing out that even if you move for legitimate reasons, some will always find fault with it. Ironically, the same type of people slandering him are the same ones that will leave their company in the lurch at the chance of another, better job, more suited to them. The hypocrisy is staggering!

New Labour is not the working class party of old, they are, well parasites. They ceased being Labour at least 30 years ago and with Starmer in charge as basically a EU-loving communist party.

The Tories ceased being the Tories around the same time. Thatcher was the last true Tory leader.

When it’s people wearing masks, well, harder again to catch.

I am still fully in support of Reform, believe in them and in Nigel Farage, but they are the last chance the UK has, if they fail, the UK falls!

It’s not paranoia when they really are out to get you!

Within minutes of posting the comment and Matt’s article on Fcebook people were either laughing (we have a couple of trolls) or calling me out for alarming headlines (It was Matt’s headline, thanks).

I’m not ‘having a go at Reform’. I’m just agreeing with Matts and acknowledging the genuine risks to the party.

Consider these:

There Is a conspiracy going an – and it’s all the left shafting right-wing parties like Reform and.. well, just Reform in the UK, really, as the Tories stopped being truly right-wing when they ousted Thatcher, decades ago.

Andrew Parker, activist or plant?

Sites like TalkTV – and “outraged of Downing Street” are so full of shit!

As more and more evidence comes out, it is becoming increasingly clear that this is a stitch up – an orchestrated smear campaign milked by desperate politicians and hate-filled media!

The guy IS an actor, a fully paid-up, card-carrying Equity member,

He (apparently) is NOT actually any part of Reform…

He was TOO OTT, too open, too ‘method’ about his claimed hatred

He WAS using a FAKE accent, one he describes as his ‘rough accent’ for ‘villain’ roles.

And he lists his skills as “secret filming”

This is a complete stitch up, the media (including TalkTV) and politicians (including Rishi Sunak) must be aware of this by now. MUST know that there are concerns and questions here… but it suits the narrative to paint Reform into a corner.

The degree to which he colluded – and with whom – STILL remains to be exposed, but this is a new low for all involved and justifies intense police investigation.

I would argue the both government and the MSM are complicit in electoral interference given there appears to be no attempt to fact check here, no attempt to say, “Well, it is a bit fishy, we need to know more…”

You can’t even put up a Reform sign in your garden but the police come round saying someone is “offended” or “afraid” and “we’d like you to take that down now, please.”

But the potential of a (government backed) broadcaster being implicated in a smear campaign and electoral interference (actual crime) and it’s like,

“I didn’t see anything. Nothing to report here.”

THIS STINKS TO HIGH HEAVEN!

Actor’s ‘angry villain’ look (as used in Clapton?), normal (posh) voice and his “rough accent” (as used in the C4 interview):

[ Andrew Parker’s (dead) media page at agents’ site ]
[ Andrew Parker’s (dead) profile page at agents’site ]

He is currently (2025) with Talent Manager and still lists himslef as available for ‘secret filming’

Try and find news stories of this though. Do a search. It was WIDELY covered at the time, with even Rishi Sunak voicing his disgust. Now though? Nothing. It’s like it never happened.

The more things change, the more they stay the same

I am not a political animal. My mind and skillset would make me an anathema to any party – I’m a pretty black and white type of guy; I don’t do shades of grey. But everyone has their limt and in the past few years, decades, and parade of incompetent and wholly self-serving puppets in government have increasingly got on my nerves to the point I decided ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. Particulary the Brexit betrayals (links at bottom)

Back in 2018 Nigil Farage was at a crossroad, depressed over the state of the country and generally at a loggerhead. I can’t say that my input was a deciding factor, but he did thank me, so there’s that.
