Politics GB News nigel farage Reform UK
Nigel Farage has embraced so many Tory has-beens that even GB News felt the need to call him out and it’s the very definition of a stopped clock being right
The upside to Nigel Farage embracing so many failed Tory MPs is that he now has eight MPs in the House of Commons.
The downside is that he’s in danger of turning Reform UK into the Conservative Part 2.0 which is surely the last thing that many of his supporters, such as they are, want to see.
Suella Braverman is the latest of course, after which GB News – basically the broadcast arm of Reform UK – felt the need to haul him up on it. And it’s the very definition of a stopped clock – possibly that should be cock – being right twice a day.

So basically say sorry for what you did whilst in office and you can join Reform and try & save your career. Pathetic nonsense.

More of this all day, everyday! Should be the immediate attack line.
Why should we listen to you when you are filled with the people who broke the country 🤡 https://t.co/yQqb6v9l7B— Stu (@Stu060673936030) January 27, 2026

Reforming failed MPs, I wouldn’t take my car to the same mechanic if he had done a bad job the first time round. Even if he changes garages.

This is the reason the Conservative defections have backfired for Reform:
It stalls their momentum as the anti-establishment alternative by forcing them to refute the accusation that they're Tories 2.0.
It doesn't matter how good a line Farage has to justify the defections or… https://t.co/zKrSkCVxR3
