Did "Nigel Farage doesn't want working-class voters to figure this out" get published on the wrong site?

The Express (and every major) newsroom is full of journalists who are in need of the protection offered by the employment rights bill that working class hero Farage has voted against, so despite the editorial line the workers won't be supportive of him or the Reform agenda.

I bet the Express, Mail and Telegraph servers are full of such stories that didn't make it to print or online.

This Daily Express journalist is quite outspoken.

Yeah, I didn't use the correct word. I meant reporters and other newsroom staff who tend to be on casual or freelance contracts rather than the opinion piece columnists.

Farage can only continue the grift by being the party of protest, not the party in power.

The Conservatives loved him because they thought that he was successful in pushing a right-wing agenda and would steal working class votes from Labour.

Farage is useless with figures. Sounds like a 'double bluff'. Farage cites wrong figures and doesn't want Reform voters to figure they are wrong, but accept his wrong figures.

BTW It still comes up on my bookmarks.

Oh that's odd. If you follow the link that it was published to then it's a 404 🤷

I must have a nasty, suspicious mind - I saved the archive version. Does that make a difference?

Yes, that's the one in the quoted post.

No, it seems from Andy Twelves' Twitter that he is both a Daily Express writer and anti-Farage, and even goes on GB News to get his points about Reform UK across.

stray thought, could Reach merge the Daily Mirror and Express to form one newspaper eventually?

Would they swap days or could you print it both ways / read it upside down?
