When you consider that Farage is not a serious politician with serious policies this is disgusting. I only heard him pressed on his policies a couple of times and he became downright nasty. www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/who...

Study reveals election coverage skewed in favour of Farage, Reformwww.thelondoneconomic.com Despite increasing the number of MPs by nine-fold, the Liberal Democrats struggled to get as much airtime as Reform or its leader.

Should the government bring in more criteria for the recall of an MP? For instance, not actually doing the job?

Thanks Nige - he sounds great (NOT)

If your postal vote hasn't arrived contact the Electoral Registration Officer at your council - now. You can hand in your postal vote at the polling station on Thursday ( if you haven't gone on holiday).

Huge problem with undelivered postal votes across the country. What's going to happen?

Farage whinging and whining. He's such a baby. He's got thinner skin than Sunak. Typical for a dictator.

Cleverly asserting that Labour can't run anything. Hasn't he noticed the appalling campaign his own party is running? What a joke!

Looking at the way the Tories have run their campaign we can see why the country is in such a mess.
