It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m thoroughly sick of the make believe government that the Republicans represent.\u00a0 With respect to being betrayed it\u2019s never if but always when.\u00a0 And that when will always be when they could do the most good or the most harm.\u00a0 So hail to you Nigel Farage.\u00a0 Perform the end of the beginning and lay the Tories in their well-deserved grave.\u00a0 And may we follow your example and do the same to the Stupid Party.\u00a0 They wildly deserve it and it will warm my soul to see them out on their butts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nigel Farage is about to gut the Tories.\u00a0 His Reform UK party is currently stealing away so many votes from the Conservative Party that with<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[1696,4597,148,2778],"class_list":["post-29288","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-current-events","tag-nigel-farage","tag-reform-uk-party","tag-rinos","tag-third-party"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.4 -
