Loyalists have short memory of Farage betrayal

Well, after one act of backstabbing betrayal by Nigel Farage today – dumping his deputy leader Ben Habib – we are now reminded of another: Traditional Unionist Voice MP and party leader Jim Allister (pictured) has announced he may sit with Reform UK in the Commons and accept the Reform whip.

According to the BBC: “Mr Allister said there was no reason he wouldn’t sit beside Nigel Farage” given the two parties had an electoral pact during the general election.

Well, try this one: despite the election pact, Farage went and publicly endorsed Ian Paisley Jr, the DUP candidate running against Allister in North Antrim.

The TUV leader obviously has a very short memory indeed – as apparently does the BBC whose report make no mention of this at all.
