It’ll be interesting to see if Farage spends more time in the bar than the House. May be he’ll turn out to be a fantastic constituency MP - keeping an open mind but his record from a young age has been to disrupt - quite the attention seeker. Any friend of Trump’s is to be watched carefully.

Unfortunately, my sister voted Reform. If she'd been in the US, she would have voted for Trump. I am still coming to terms with the fact that even as a mother and grandmother herself she is quite comfortable voting for a party whose candidates advocate for the shooting of migrant families on the beaches. I'm not sure after 60+ years of being her brother, I even know her any more?

People who are full of unreasoning hate, are usually very unhappy. Speak to your sister and try to find out what is making her unhappy. Maybe her marriage is under strain or, if she's divorced, maybe she is very lonely and it's made her bitter. Your Sister is still there...but she is so unhappy, you may need to work hard to find her again. Good luck.

He wasn't a "candidate", he was a canvasser and an actor (previously worked for Channel 4) who was allegedly used to stitch up Reform. But if you believe all that the mainstream media spews, then YOU are part of the problem, not your sister. The past 14 years will pale into insignificance compared with the coming 5 and largely because the views of millions of British people will be twisted and distorted by the wielders of power in both the media and in Westminster. The harder the left push with identity politics and globalist ideology, the more the hard right will seek to subvert and counter it. That cannot be overlooked and just labelled as racist and bigoted. It's lazy. It is a completely natural and organic, societal mechanism to force political compromise.

Seeing Clacton vote for Farage is like watching a zombie resurrection movie. The one good thing is the further weakening of the Tory vote, imho. But I am dismayed at the harping on personalities in your comments - the terrible need for charisma, which is so dangerous. Give us more beige characters with, hopefully, real ability, and care.

Good heavens! Tim, are you actually able to find time to teach? I know that you must be a brilliant teacher - of what? Philosophy, Politics (rather than Political Science), and ENGLISH. But how do you find the time? I've been a teacher of English, now retired, aged over 75. Since I've never been outside Asia, I'm sure that my competence is much lower, but people would imagine that I serve a much greater need. However, here I sit, in Bandarawela, Sri Lanka, resigned to well nigh all residents here thinking that I don't know "proper English". By the way, what happened to the Speaker of the outgoing Parliament of the UK? He seemed a nice man, but an accent that was certainly far from that of Charles III?

As always, words can only be assessed when context is added. Racist is a tricky word because what one person says or does may not be deemed racist by another or vice versa. When narrative is added it gets even more difficult. It's defined as, 'showing prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism against a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular racial or ethnic group' however even prejudice, discrimination and antagonism are subjective words and rely on extent. Wilson mentions the 'problem' with mainstream TV is the 'tolerance of inappropriate content' but, again, that's a subjective view. What's inappropriate to him may not be to another. Who is to say what's, or who, is right or wrong? Just to add that the arguments for or against another referendum seem to me to miss a fundamental point. Those against say the people have voted and that's an end to it. But we don't say that about elections which happen a maximum of every five years. It's perfectly acceptable for people to change their minds as events occur and situations change and so another referendum can easily happen. There's no difference between a referendum and an election.
