Disgraced Jeremy Kyle is training Reform UK candidates

Well, Nigel Farage has officially lost the plot. The Reform UK leader has just revealed that Jeremy Kyle – the poverty-porn mogul – has a secret role within the party. Hilariously, he’s media training Reform’s candidates.

Jeremy Kyle lol, one of the most hated TV presenters of all time.

Well, expect reform politicians to bully their opponents until they top themselves. pic.twitter.com/apaxqRVLzL

Jeremy Kyle: a legacy of exploitation

Jeremy Kyle spent a ridiculous 14 years shouting through our TV screens. He put vulnerable people on show for the world to see, and he laughed at them.

ITV finally took The Jeremy Kyle Show off air in 2019 when Steve Dymond took his own life after failing a lie detector test. Kyle’s legacy is one of cruelty and death.

Never forget: Jeremy Kyle built his career on screaming at vulnerable people, getting addicts drunk, parading them in front of a jeering audience, then hiding behind a lie detector. Some of those people took their own lives. To describe him as despicable doesn’t even cover it. pic.twitter.com/Rew922MCez

A full eighteen years ago, a judge described the show as ‘human bear-baiting’ after a violent incident unfolded on the show. Kyle built his empire by kicking down on people who are on a low income; people who are suffering with addiction, and people facing mental health crises.

Yep, sounds like the right man to help Reform reclaim the UK:

This footage of The Jeremy Kyle Show is a stark reminder of how he ruthlessly exploited vulnerable people for ratings. It highlights just how irresponsible and cruel his approach was. Good riddance to this kind of 'poverty porn'pic.twitter.com/l9Jy4UWxCs

Reform’s a magnet for scandal, just like his show

Jeremy Kyle seems to fit right in with a party surrounded by scandals. It seems like Reform UK have an issue with having to drop candidates for shitty behaviour:

• They dropped Raymond Saint in 2024 for being a member of the far-right British National Party.
• They’ve had candidates drop out voluntarily like Georgie David, alleging that the vast majority of people standing for Reform UK were ‘racist, misogynistic and bigoted’.
• Only a few days ago, they dropped Redcar & Cleveland candidate Mike Manning over racist tweets.

Can you see a pattern here? Kyle fits right in, it seems:

🚨Jeremy Kyle is FURIOUS with how illegal immigrants are treated better than the British people 🇬🇧

The perfect home for Kyle

The right-wing Talk TV helped Jeremy Kyle reboot his career. The channel performs a similar function to GB News, which Reform UK are intimately entwined with:

As usual with @Nigel_Farage when he’s told he must fall in line he falls in line.

On his GB News show two nights ago he continued to spread the unfounded and frankly ludicrous theory that Epstein was a Russian agent all along.

Ladies and gentlemen.
I present to you:

I feel as though I need say no more…

Bringing Kyle into the fold is a transparent attempt to woo the demographic he spent over a decade mocking. They assume our memories are that short.

If Reform UK wants voters to take them seriously, hiring the king of poverty-porn is a fucking funny way to show it.

Do we really want the man who monetised human misery to be training what could be our future MPs?
