While world's richest man and X boss Elon Musk has been a great champion for freedom of speech, his latest broadside against Nigel Farage can be chalked up as something of a win by the Reform chief. Following Farage's immigration policy announcement this week, Musk reignited an earlier feud with the Reform leader, this time calling him "weak sauce who will do nothing" to curb immigration to the UK.
While Musk was instrumental in highlighting the grooming gangs scandal, more recently he has backed Tommy Robinson, someone Farage had distanced himself from. The fact remains that Farage and deputy Richard Tice are on a mission to make Reform a credible, election-winning party for next year's local, Scottish and Welsh elections, and crucially a general election slated for 2029.
The media mudslinging over Reform - with hackneyed accusations of racism - become harder to sustain if Farage and co are deemed too liberal for fringe opinion.
Reform's pitch is to be a party of law and nationhood.
That is the ticket to win the centre ground and Middle Britain. The alternative is to consign themselves to the purist periphery, a million miles from winning power.

So the play by Farage is to look "centrist" and marginalize Tommy Robinson, tone down the rhetoric. He's trying to appeal to >35% of the population which means a degree of pandering to certain groups?
That appears to be what he's' doing....
Nigel is in Washington DC next week
Nigel is a British Bush at best. Musk has him nailed for what he is.
will he be tougher on immigration than labour
Tommy Robinson can keep up the pressure to move public opinion rightward.
Meanwhile X/Twitter is providing uncensored news about what the Muslims are doing, much to the rage of the Labour Party.
Meanwhile, not only will the UK lock you up for mean tweets, it will lock you up just for retweeting mean tweets.
From the horse’s...mouth.

Matters little, the mighty England has fallen, they are broke ( like the EU) and negotiating with the IMF for a bailout…if no IMF bailout, they default on their debt, which will collapse their government.
Yesterday’s world finance news mentioned France is also negotiating for a loan with the IMF to keep their country afloat….Europe is collapsing, no tears.
And you wonder why I have to reserve judgement here a lot of the time?
When they rejected Enoch Powell, it was all over.
Well, no, I don’t.
Sorry.
Maybe because I dont want a knock on the door ...
