      Not that I have much confidence in Badenoch, but she did admit hacking Harriet Harman’s website so I reckon she’s probably right about this. It’s not that hard to look at the source of a webpage and spot the kind of fiddling she describes.

      Reform 100% will have faked their numbers. They have never said one truth at all yet.

      This is what politics in now fucking reduced to.

      Two twats arguing on social media about how many followers they have and how the other party are faking it

      Reform ran hella fictional candidates in every constituency (inc my own), not an honest enterprise!

      It would be bloody hard for the Tories to fake their figures, since they were just disclosed in a (very well regulated) election. Reform meanwhile…

      The question is, who do we think is more likely to be lying? I mean…fuck.
      Edit: Wait, it was a ticker on the website? That’s how Reform knows?
      Oh, fuck, Farage is lying.

      So either Cons hacked the backend of Reform or Kemi just proved that she’s way out of her depth and doesn’t really understand how modern web app work.

      Either of which is bad for Cons.

      A sensible politician would have ignored such a pointless mudslinging fight, but Badenoch couldn’t resist I guess.

      So a known liar has accused a known liar of lying and the known liar has responded by saying the known liar is lying.

      If this pair told me that water was wet I’d want to check.

      Like the Spider-Men pointing at each other meme, except with pools of egg nog vomit.

      Dollar store Thor vs bag lady selling the prosperity gospel innit.

      Reform even had some [ghost candidates running](https://www.thenational.scot/news/24449558.almost-searched-reform-ghost-candidate-scottish-comedian/), which is fucking insane, that people could vote for candidates without knowing anything about them, having yo chase their very existence, and registered to empty buildings.

      Hiw are these candidates supposed to represent people when they barely exist?

      I really don’t understand how people are this stupid and gullible.

      Wouldn’t surprise me if Farage wasn’t lying to be honest.

      As per usual Reddit continues to underestimate the strength of feeling for Reform because the vast majority of people here exist solely within their own little echo chambers and couldn’t fathom how Trump won in the US and won’t be able to fathom how Farage pulls the same off here in the UK.

      (No I’m absolutely not a Reform voter before I’m accused of that)

      Massive own goal for Badenoch. She mentions accessing the “back end” of their website which by definition means it shouldn’t be accessible to the public. This is an offense under the Computer Misuse Act and its enough to just access data you know beforehand you shouldn’t, even if its not protected by credentials. So if this is true she committed a criminal offense, and if she’s just going off vibes Reform can likely prove her to be a liar.

      Personally it feels a bit unbelievable that the leader of the opposition would hack- oh… [Harriet Harman accepts Tory MP Kemi Badenoch’s hacking apology](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-43694295)

      Who even cares? The Lib Dems have more members than the Tories. It does not automatically translate to electoral success.

    16. iamezekiel1_14 on

      Oh I said this earlier. Didn’t realise that those accusations had been formally thrown. Farage is full of more shit than the average UK river. 100% their numbers are inflated.

    17. Inside_Performance32 on

      Both are complete money hungry grifters .
      But you can join reform as a member while being in a completely different country with no British citizenship, so the numbers are likely going to be a decent chunk from the states .

      is that the boxing day fox hunt that those rich people go to?
