My take on Farage has always been that he will step aside at the last minute using some excuse that he's been forced out or it's the wrong time for him
His supporters will still π his arse and he will carry on rattling from the sidelines trying to stay relevant

Oh yes, a colleague of mine voted for Brexit because Tim Martin said a vote to leave would allow 'spoons to knock 5p off the price of a pint and some friends did it for a laugh.
The friends did find afterwards that she had distant Irish family and promptly applied for an Irish passport

With the current state of the UK at the moment, if you had the chance to change things would you
1) Do nothing and ride out the next 10 years
2) Deport all the rot that's in society
3) Move abroad and if so where?
4) Buy an island and start your own progressive, tolerant society

True, but it's still gambling
Just think if online gambling and betting shops were closed down and good causes lotteries were still allowed is it okay that the gambling addict throws all their money at those because "it's all for a good cause"

If Farage gets the slightest whiff that he could become another Johnson or Truss he'll be off like a shot

I know that gambling can wreck lives, but I come from a family of alcoholics and growing up was hell.
4 early deaths because of drink and one relative lost their house because of the amount of money they spent.

Mum pays the care home Β£5,000 a month and that's a cheap one because my stepfather left her with money in the bank and it's over the threshold

Last week HMRC sent her a tax demand for Β£750 to be paid by Jan '26

Can you imagine if he did actually become PM
He'd last about as long as Truss or Johnson then disappear
