People called Penelope are so happy to be there. They've all been training for literally weeks.
Owning the Libs should not be a priority, agreed. But it is a nice bonus.
Depends on your view on politics if you see that as a bonus I suppose. Same as riling up far-right supporters, it doesn’t really achieve anything.
Farage’s key aim is to be divisive, an agitator to try to stir up support. Not a man to solve problems or take any positive action. As I said, lazy-arsed grifter!
Whatever our views on him, I think you understimate his skills as a politician. The standing of Reform in the polls shows this.
I don’t underestimate his skills in attracting support. I think his skills in achieving solutions (which should be over 50% of the actual job of being a politician but sadly don’t seem to be these days) are virtually non-existent and he’d be a total disaster.

If a Politician’s skill set had to be at least 50% achieving solutions, we would have precious few, if any, Politicians.
More’s the pity. A politician’s skill in effectively utilising the civil service, leading a team, collaboraton, etc should be the most important set of attributes. Admittedly lacking in many. Non-existent in Farage.
Not sure bookies do that sort of deal.
So a way to 'save Brexit' (one can only assume that The Spectator doesn't think it's a finished process) is by undoing part of it. Riiiight.

No idea what the article says as it is behind a paywall, but the last I read in the Guardian was that the youth mobility scheme was going to be for limited numbers and only for 12 months - much like the scheme the UK offers to a number of other countries and wanted to offer to the EU. At this stage, it is all an unknown though.
