I’m not defending anything, and have made no comment about Labour. Neither Reform itself or any of the other parties or individuals who might feel hard done by as a result of the voting system are making any claims of fraud. Do you imagine someone like Farage would be silent about this if there were even the flimsiest grounds for suspicion? There are none.
The only complaints which are being raised are to do with the new requirement for photo ID at polling stations, and the actual or potential disenfranchisement of not insignificant numbers as a result. Some estimates are putting the numbers turned away as high as 400,000. It’s highly unlikely that those most affected by this were potential Reform voters...

Britain is now something like 15% moslem

Nonsense. It's between 6 and 7%

And who do you think these moslems vote for? It ain't the Tories....

A common fallacy. There have always been plenty of Muslim Tories, particularly in the older generation (just look at the Muslim MPs in the last Tory government..)
