100%

How did either of these dickheads get themselves let alone their tit-for-tat squabbling into mainstream media. Nepobaby clown looks talks and acts like an unchallenged spoiled child, and that milkshake-magnet is just a dried up old prune spouting good-ol'-days boomer nonsense.

Who cares what either of these people think about anything?

No thanks. I like women.

You may still be all right, they are both cunts.

Musk has 12 kids, the last thing we should do is give him more.

So I'm an American and we have lots and lots of problems with money in politics but when I read this I was shocked:

The Reform UK party, a 2021 rename of the Brexit Party,[207] is a limited company (Reform UK Party Limited)[208] with fifteen shares. Farage owned 53% of the shares in the company, giving him a controlling majority. The other shareholders were Tice, who holds about a third, and Chief Executive Paul Oakden and Party Treasurer Mehrtash A'Zami who each held less than one percent.[209] In August 2024 Paul Oakden was removed and Farage took over his shares, giving him 60% ownership.[210] Reform UK is unusual in that British political parties are usually not corporate entities, but unincorporated associations comprising a leadership and a membership; Reform's paying supporters have no voting powers.[208]

I guess at-least they are honest it's a grift whereas here in the US the organizations are registered as non-profits. So does Farage directly make money from his corporation?
