Did anyone attend the mosque gig. Was it a warm welcome, did they put a spread on?

As I understand it Tice bankrolled the policy of having 600 candidates to park his tanks on the Tories lawn. That set him back £300,000 but the party (strictly speaking company) simply doesn't have the infrastructure for a proper candidate selection process so basically they would take anybody willing to say they supported them who didn't have a social media profile riddled with racist comments which left very few people to pick from. They were probably having to twist people's arms to stand just to get a name on the ballot paper. The party's deficit was nearly £8million after the last election with much of the expenses placed in 'other' costs which could only really be paying for Farage's lifestyle.

That's bad form if so, Farage can hold his own. (........... Snigger, snigger.)If Orrell wants votes he should obviously attend hustings, unless he's not bothered because he doesn't expect many votes?Shame, I think a number of people would like to hear what he has to say beyond Reform's published Manifesto.Or "Contract With The People" or whatever they've called it.....

Good luck with getting a response. I would bet Mr Orrell is in Clacton.

Mark Evans ● 262d

I have emailed Reform HQ and asked why Felix Orrell appears to be avoiding attending hustings.I will of course post any reply here.  😊

Rosco White ● 262d

Does anyone know why Reform seems reluctant to attend Ealing hustings?

Rosco White ● 262d

There’s one organised by the Churchfield Community Association in St Mary’s Church hall on Wednesday at 7.30.All the candidates except Reform’s have accepted.

Sara Nathan ● 262d

Why in the Mosque and why no reform???Not everyone will be comfortable in a Mosque.

Maria Ashe ● 263d

Yes, shame if so, Reform appearing on the night would ensure a lively event .....

Rosco White ● 263d

I presume those candidates not mentioned have declined?
