Farage can't seriously believe that Andrew Tate is a good role model for young men?

I do understand that young men (to be more precise, macho young men) are in need of an older male figure to look up to, but Andrew Tate isn't it, and if Farage genuinely thinks that Andrew Tate is a good role model then he is way more disturbed than I thought he was.

It wouldn't surprise me if The Guardian are doing a hit piece.

But I also wouldn't be surprised at Farage saying it either.

You wonder why they didn't stop taking bets before it got so high. Bots could have made a few quid as this thread was made on the day most of the bets were

It's a form of insider trading effectively, it happens plenty (dog racing is rife with it for example). I also remember an incident when you could bet on the colour of the Queen's hat for a certain event, and it turned out one of the people involved in the Royal Fashion Department or whatever had leaked details of said hat to some friends and there had been a flurry of large bets.

They'll just end up limiting how much can be bet on these sorts of political events, or limiting the timeframe (up to 6 months in advance, something like that), or just halting betting on political events with "chosen" outcomes entirely. Betting gets tricky when you remove the element of "randomness". There's a reason there are generally heavy limits on things like the Oscars and other awards. People know (for a fact) who is going to get them, well in advance of the event.

Wait is that graph £5000 total, not 5000 bets? If so then it's chump change. £5000 isn't a lot of money in gambling terms.

More Tories jumping to Green than to Purple Nigel is fascinating.

The maths doesn't really add up to that shift. And even if it's Tories simply not voting, that doesn't account for the full shift.

Think it's a case of more tories staying home, although there should be some natural crossover between conservatism and green party nature preservation policies. The real issue is working out how many true conservatives actually exist these days, or how many are Johnson tories.

Nigel Farage's Reform UK is now ahead of Rishi Sunak's Tories in bombshell new poll


EXCLUSIVE: Reform UK's support has increased to 20 per cent, up three per cent, after the party's manifesto launch this week.


Nigel Farage’s party would win six seats, the greens would claim two, while the Liberal Democrats will have 61 MPs.
