Reform’s Banks says Liz Truss ‘would not be allowed to join Reform’
Aaron Banks who financed Brexit and Farage and stood as Reform candidate for West of England Mayor in 2024 (he came second, much apparently to his relief) has been speaking to the Financial Times
It was the usual outlandish mixture of purging civil servants (though Banks, showing his liberal side, would stop short of shooting them) and abolishing the infrastructure of the capitalist State. Reform commented that Banks was not speaking officially.
As Tory Conference looms and Liz Truss has publicly stated the Stephen Yaxley Lennon has been hard done by, Banks revealed that he had recently had dinner with her. She would not be allowed to join Reform because she is ‘tarnished’ in the public’s mind for crashing the economy. Banks was equivocal about whether this was correct or not but underlined that it was not going to change in term of her reputation.
Many comment that Liz Truss appears unwell and really needs help but politically on that basis she could be in line for the next US President if she can somehow manage to prove she was born in America (as Boris Johnson was)
As for a ban on Truss joining Reform due to image issues given the number of cranks, weirdoes, racists, fascists and conspiracy theorists it has in membership, some at least elected ‘politicians’ it must be wondered if the ban will last
