The Telegraph running this. Is the tide very slowly turning?

Perhaps there are rational Torygraphers who see Reform as a bad thing for the UK.

When they start posting actual journalism like this, it is usually a sign we have reached a watershed moment.

A bit early to say that, but let's hope they actually continue with similar actual journalism, given how much there must be on Farage, if only they look.

The real watershed moment would come if the Mail decides to start criticising him. I reckon they have decided that the best way to promote their right wing aims is to work towards some sort of arrangement between Tories and Reform at the next election.

If Rothermere does buy it then he wouldn't want it to compete with the Mail, so a certain cynical repositioning might be necessary.

Brian slags off the Telegraph at each and every opportunity, until the moment they publish a piece he likes, and he posts the link without his usual disclaimer "but it's in the Torygrapgh so is utter bullshit"
Interesting!

Or simply, the Torygraph is a Conservative paper. It's the paper of the Whigs, which isn't Reform.

Of course I do, because it's normally barking mad these days and has lurched further and further to the right. Which is exactly why them actually reporting something negative on Farage is, erm, interesting.
As I've said frequently over on CS, it was the family paper of all of my youth, and I find it desperately sad it's turned into a den of crackpots, and mostly just opinion pieces, rather than genuine news with a right-of-centre viewpoint.

I could quote the Daily Mail, if you'd prefer.

Obviously I could have quoted the Graun, but then the cry would have gone up "But they would say that, wouldn't they?". Anyway, for completeness...

Are they looking for a coalition government?
That would be the only positive thing to come from splitting the vote.

Go on, Nigel. Fight them on the breaches (of Clacton). Maybe that's what the armoured vehicle was for.

Fighting in breeches seems more the sort of thing a JRM led Tory Party would do.
