LONDON - Britain’s hard-right Reform UK party is riding high in the polls, but a bitter feud between charismatic leader Nigel Farage and a fellow lawmaker praised by Mr Elon Musk is threatening its rise.
Policy differences over immigration appear central to the split in the insurgent group, which additionally finds itself under pressure over Britain’s support for Ukraine against Russia’s invasion.
The party has since gone from strength to strength and in February topped a YouGov poll of voting intentions on 27 per cent, two points ahead of Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s ruling Labour party.
Bookmakers have even made arch-Eurosceptic Mr Farage favourite to be Britain’s next leader, although the next election is likely in 2029 and the UK’s voting system disadvantages smaller parties.
fuck me I didn’t realise it was this bad
I hope they lose
How likely is it for UK to return to the EU?
Sadly we need to collectively forget how bad it was getting out before we’ll put ourselves through that again.
I guess about 15 more years.
One reason I opposed Brexit, it was obvious we’d only have to rejoin later under worse terms once the political spasm had passed
I saw a documentary that most of UK regret Brexit but also that false promises were make and that things like trading outside the UK is now more expensive and difficult than before. Because of the long waiting times at customs, for example.
I think, if there was an emergency, we could bring back UK pretty fast.
