Nigel Farage’s ‘political masterstroke’ has actually ‘fallen flat’

​‘Triggered with Samara Gill’ host Samara Gill says she initially thought Reform UK Leader Nigel Farage’s move to resign was a “political masterstroke” but is beginning to think it has actually “fallen flat”. ​“I’m kind of comparing it to…Nixon’s 1952 checkers moment, where he was under a lot of scrutiny over public finances … he understood democratic legitimacy comes from voters and not elites, and that’s essentially what Farage was trying to do,” Ms Gill told Sky News host Andrew Bolt. ​“Unfortunately, the establishment has kind of turned against him; they’re not going to run any people in what they call a ‘sham election’. ​“It’s kind of fallen flat in its face for Farage because now he’s just up against a bin. ​“Although what I thought was a sort of political masterstroke earlier on in the week, I am starting to think that they didn’t war game this up at Reform HQ. ​“If he doesn’t play this properly, it could be the beginning of the end."
