15 favourite reactions to Priti Patel boogying the night away with Nigel Farage
We’ve been hearing a lot of bizarre stuff coming from the Bluekip Tory Party Conference, including claims that Labour wants to dictate how often you go to the shops and – despite absolutely no evidence – that people are being denied bank accounts because of their political views.
As always, the conference isn’t all work for the attendees, and a clip of two well-known politicians letting their hair down has emerged. Unfortunately.
When it comes to summing up what’s going on at the Conservative Party conference, phone footage of Priti Patel and Nigel Farage dancing and singing along to ‘Can't Take My Eyes Off You’ could hardly be more on point.pic.twitter.com/mSDiau2gGt

If you’re surprised to see the seven-times general election-losing former UKIP leader nestling in the bosom of the Tory Party, you haven’t been paying attention.
Tweeters weren’t impressed.

And there it is. Chapter 4 of 'How They Broke Britain' begins with Nick Griffin's appearance on Question Time, describes the subsequent Faragification of the Tory Party & traces the clear line from him back to BNP/National Front rhetoric & 'policy'.

Struggling with the cost of living?
Is your job/business hit by Brexit?
Is your rent sky high or your mortgage crippling you?
Are you waiting for NHS care?
Are you choosing between heat and food?
They care. pic.twitter.com/DGdbM5qJ3K— Dominic Minghella (@DMinghella) October 3, 2023

Just ❤️this!
Priti & Nigel letting their hair down and bopping around to music that is thankfully not wrap music.
They haven’t smoked skunk to enjoy this euphoria, they simply get this feeling by doing good & caring for others.
Our Sonny & Cher.

You’re just too gross to be true
Can’t take the lies off of you
You feel like dog poo to touch
Oh I want to vomit so much
So long as migrants arrive
Your career stays alive
You’re just too gross to be true
Can’t take the lies off of youI hate you Nigel & all of the far right… https://t.co/ihrONHBGfs
