Nigel Farage is rebranding the Brexit Party as the anti-lockdown Reform UK – only 9 responses you need

Apologies in advance, but Nigel Farage is starting a new party. Again.

Farage has applied to the Electoral Commission to rebrand the Brexit Party as Reform UK to campaign against anti-lockdown measures. Of course it will!

Here he is talking about it but – please – there’s nothing about it that you couldn’t possibly imagine without watching it.

There is no political voice opposing this new national lockdown in England. I think that may change very soon. pic.twitter.com/0mJ0WFfXDP

Hi I’m Nigel Farage. You may remember me from such times as that month I spent shitting myself because 6 kids arrived by dinghy. Today I’ll be launching the A Virus That Had Killed One Million People Is No Biggie party.

Nigel Farage’s EU salary ran out, Trump is unlikely to remain President & it’s too cold to shout at refugees from Dover.

So now he seeks votes risking lives by opposing public health measures in a pandemic.

There has never been a more shameless opportunist in British politics. https://t.co/15Pniuf9ft

For anyone keeping score…

Nigel Farage started in the Conservatives,
Then moved to UKIP
Then Leave .EU
Then Leave Means Leave
Then the Brexit Party
Now Reform UK (anti-lockdown)

Any organisation that pushes to increase poverty, sickness & racism in the UK, he'll join it.

Because of COURSE the only thought that’s been going through Nigel Farage’s mind throughout the pandemic, as thousands die and hundreds of thousands suffer, is “How can I make this about ME?”

Presume it’ll do what all Farage ventures do; fail to win anything but give him a platform & panic some Tories into bad decisions, before moving swiftly on & leaving everyone else to deal with the consequences https://t.co/bCtSh3Sv4U

Just a reminder that Nigel Farage thinks "Doctors have got it wrong on smoking." Take your medical advice from this man at your peril. https://t.co/gCtT26DaQK

And then there was this, a throwback to what Farage had to say about coronavirus just a few months ago.
