Never mind, Farage is recreating the Brexit part as Reform UK, and it's an anti-lockdown party, So, another single policy party to bring money to him, he made a fortune ot of Brexit party as it wasn't legally rgistered as a party, just a company whith him as the owner and shareholder.

Thatcher is dead and she still gets grief. As for Corbyn if the media believes it will sell papers or get clicks online they will run stories about him. IDGAF about him anyway.
