Elon Musk just spurned Nigel Farage and Kathy Burke’s A++ response beat all-comers
A week is a long time in politics, but a tweet is so much longer.
One minute Elon Musk is going to donate £100m to Reform UK and Nigel Farage says he is a ‘hero’ …

… next minute Musk – showing an increasing fondness of anything on the far side of right – says the party needs a new leader because Farage ‘doesn’t have what it takes’.
The Reform Party needs a new leader. Farage doesn’t have what it takes.

We never thought we’d feel sorry for Farage, and we were right.
Well, this is a surprise! Elon is a remarkable individual but on this I am afraid I disagree.
My view remains that Tommy Robinson is not right for Reform and I never sell out my principles. https://t.co/V7iccN6usS

And their rapid fire fallout prompted no end of totally on-point responses …
One would have to have a heart of stone not to laugh. https://t.co/UgkOyEhGx7

Wow. Musk just turned on Farage over Tommy Robinson. Imagine living in a world where even Nigel Farage has more principles and common sense than Elon Musk. That’s just how far right Musk has gone. https://t.co/twAhjbPzAU

Not sure whether it's more funny or terrifying how quickly Elon Musk has radicalised himself since buying Twitter.
This is a man who endorsed Joe Biden in 2020. He now supports Tommy Robinson and the German AfD. https://t.co/qZ4hJ4p3Fv

But surely no-one said it better – and not for the first time, obviously – than the estimable Kathy Burke.
Right wing cunts hate each other.

Nailed it.
And here’s just a little bit of the love people had for it (and her).
An analysis of modern politics in three parts…
Farage "Musk is my hero"
Musk "Farage is too crap"
Burke "… https://t.co/wmhBc2Oj6C— putajumperon (@putajumperon) January 5, 2025
It’s the perfect end to the festive season, a lovely little right wing implosion

If I've learned anything in life it's that the bigots/racists/misogynists/narcissists/pessimists etc always shout the loudest…and the longest… while the rest of us get on with trying to get by. We have to challenge them in every way we can, where we can and when we can. ✌️
