‘Liar’ Farage accused of copying Zack Polanski & Rupert Lowe

Farage’s his Reform have started their own podcast — you know — like that Zack Polanski did.

On the one hand, this is understandable, because a good idea is a good idea. On the other hand, Reform — as ever — have decided to push the truth to breaking point:

Farage — bold Politics VS bold-faced lies

As noted above, Zack Polanski runs his own podcast called Bold Politics. The most recent episode features Canary contributor Cody Dahler:

To be clear, Polanski did not invent podcasting. He’s also not the first politician to have his own podcast. He is, however, the only one who isn’t infinitely repellant (we’re looking at you, Alastair Campbell and Rory Stewart).

Bold Politics is absolutely a Green Party podcast, anyway; it’s not like Polanski is on there discussing true crime or recapping The Traitors. Farage can pretend otherwise, but it just makes him look like a liar and a copycat at the same time. Pick a lane, Nigel!

Perhaps what Farage means is ‘Reform is the only party with a podcast named after itself’? The problem is that this still wouldn’t be true:

As we’ve reported, Restore Britain is a Reform UK breakaway party that is to Farage’s lot what Reform are to the Tories (i.e. a more right-wing version). Founded by ex-Reform MP Rupert Lowe, Restore is basically just the Conservative Party 3.0. Although, to be fair, they do have far fewer Tories than Reform does:

The fact that we have three right-wing parties means these people are all struggling to differentiate themselves. In this instance, Reform have attempted to show that they’re different from the Tories by literally copying Restore.

People had other criticisms of Farage’s post too:

The entire fucking media is a Reform podcast. Everything you say is repeated to death.

Pobcasting

We’ll be honest, we do think Reform are missing a trick. After all, they could have had Matt Goodwin host the show so they could refer to it as the Reform UK Pob-cast:

Just realised Matt Goodwin reminds me of ‘Pob’ and now I can’t unsee it 🤦🏼‍♀️😂😂 https://t.co/bPO2E8GxWE pic.twitter.com/Sac7lgD5qM

If they follow our advice, they could truthfully say they’re the only party to have a podcast which is hosted by a failed MP who was recently accused of using AI to write an error-riddled book.
