[News] Nigel Farage and Reform

[clapham_gull]

They could make meetings cheaper and more efficient by using Teams and Zoom, so Councillors could log in from home, cutting down on travel time and expenses.

Oh dear - they don't like WFH do they, so that's out......

And building maintenance. If you are sitting at a desk all day, you may as well be sitting at home.

You'd get longer hours worked.

 

[Bodian]

Maybe they are cutting down on meetings as their councillors can't be arsed to attend them anyway?

Attendance record - Councillor Jo Monk - Modern Council

She is now leader of Worcestershire Council and is calling for councillors who miss meetings because they are ill to resign.

PS - she has already missed one meeting as Leader.

Because she had to attend a photo-op with Farage in London.......

Presumably this is because if they supported work someone might point out that Farage's arse licking jollys to the US are unnecessary and even worse he might have to spend more time in Clacton.

Now this becomes interesting and I have idea how County Councils work. Is there anyone out their you knows ?



Because I'm also reading that the company in question is actually a commercial subsidiary of the council.

And what is a "framework agreement" ?

Here’s some “waste” that Reform at KCC will soon be targeting! I mean, who needs diversity and inclusion?

Kent Supported Employment - Kent County Council

Supported employment gives you the opportunity to get support from a work coach. They work with young adults and their employer to help to them progress.

One thing that baffles me about Farage and his bid to lead Reform into government is the effect that it would have on his income. I believe that he pulls in one of the highest amounts of dosh from extra-parliamentary activities, something that he would have to give up if he became PM. Not only that, being PM requires a lot of hard work, attending meetings, mastering detail - things that he's never been any good at.

Given that he'd lose about 90% of his salary and he'd have to do about five times as much work: what's in it for him?

 

[darkwolf666]

Ouch! Reform REALLY haven't got a clue , have they. But then they don't care, as they know their supporters only read the headlines, no matter how false.

Same playbook as across the pond. Say what you like, then move on to the next outrageous lie...

I'm definitely not defending Farage, but as bad as Johnson ?

He doesn't actually have any intention of being PM. He's just a shit-stirrer.

But imagine how much money he could grift if he had even more power. But young Nigel almost certainly is imagining it.

£350 million you say??

 

[Cordwainer]

It’s almost like they’re a bunch of politically illiterate, grifting oddballs, spouting attention seeking, populist guff and actually have no idea how governance works at any level.
Almost.

He is on record as being the highest paid MP, from all his other declared income, in the House of Commons. Over 1 million since last July with his 10 jobs.
He's on £76K per annum from his MEP pension alone (paid by us).

Thank you. They are posting regarding waste they "have found", which is actually taken from historic newspaper articles.

Case about people who have defrauded the council for instance.

He serves as Prime Minister for a year or two, sets up deals for multinationals, and then scores a cushy job for when he is done

But if Starmer runs his full term, Farage won't be PM until June/July 2029, he'll be 65 then - the oldest PM since Churchill. What opportunities will he have for feathering his nest when he's in his 70s? Just over a decade after becoming PM, Churchill was in a mess - to such an extent that his strokes were being covered up by his colleagues.

Are you seriously suggesting that Nigel Charade will be PM one day?? Not a chance, Jeremy Corbyn has more chance
