Another bad day at the office for Nigel Farage.

After a burqa ban row and the resignation of Reform’s chairman Zia Yusuf, the cracks inside Reform UK are once again wide open.

They still get full coverage on the BBC News

And now it gets worse.

In an exclusive with @lbc.co.uk, we can reveal that Sarah Pochin, the Reform MP at the centre of the burqa row, was pictured holding a mug showing Keir Starmer in a hijab.

She’s gross

I'd say 'Extreme anti-Muslim prejudice' is called racism. And I don't believe for one moment that zia yusef resigned because he's suddenly decided to make a stand against this kind of thing (when he, his party, voters and supporters have been making racially charged comments all along)

I'll add that it's also not just a racist meme but also a transmisogynistic and misogynistic meme. It plays on LGBT phobia and paints weakness as being a female characteristic.

Unimaginable to HOPE that this old slapper may ever ‘reform’ and conduct herself with any decency.

Impossible not to HATE disgusting excuses for humanity like her.

It's obviously pathetic of her, but I rather doubt this will upset much of her base.

juneussell.bsky.social•8 days ago

Tricky thing is that they need a tad more than their base to gain power, and Farage is intelligent enough to know that.

huiracocha.bsky.social•8 days ago

As for swing voters, I doubt the mug will either increase or decrease Reform substantially. Tbh if Farage thought otherwise he'd have booted her already.

The image is a notorious far-right meme used to spread the idea that Labour, in the view of the far right, are responsible for the islamification of Britain.

hopenothate.org.uk•8 days ago

We’ve seen on full display just how extreme Reform UK really is, and it’s tearing them apart.

Reform attract a broad coalition of voters. Around 30% have positive views on multiculturalism. They want it to work for everyone. A scandal like this will drive them away.

Listen to HOPE not hate’s Georgie Laming discuss the latest developments with LBC’s @lewisgoodall.com‬ 🎙️

Reform UKIP's supporters are so fond of that Islamophobic trope of putting politicians into female Muslim dress that they even made one for Nigel Farage when he booted Rupert Lowe.

Guys, sorry, look, I can't help but notice you haven't condemned Keir Starmer's Enoch Powell tribute speech. Is there a reason for this? Seems to be something you would normally talk about?
