Looks like most of teh ones who did not go to their counts were real people who were just paper candidates in areas they could not win.

Looks like Private Eye picked up on this last week and managed to speak to him. The photo is AI generated but “because he did not have a photo of him in a turquoise tie”.

definitely easier to create a whole AI photo rather than photoshop someones tie colour

tbf there are plenty of websites you just shove a photo in and change a few colours so yeah, it probably is easier.

It's (almost) certainly some butt hurt leftists that can't deal with Reform getting some votes, so they've started this quite strange story.

Then you've got some people that want to be accepted and validated by the leftist cliques that are spreading it round.

All a bit weird.

Bit harsh
There are tens of candidates that didn’t attend their constituency or the count or have any social media footprint or picture on reform site

Sorry I thought it was interesting

He's a clown who kills foxes and is often wrong. He is also just commenting based on the original story, he has no evidence.

Actually I’ve no doubt it’s impossible and there’s a likely reasonable explanation. I won’t take the bet but I was a bit perplexed that you thought I was playing to the crowd
It’s ok though

Seena few posts of this nature, they're tearing themselves apart.
Going to be a lot of blood letting before they sort themselves out.

The new Stop the Boats! expansion pack lets you install machine gun nests on the top of the white cliffs of Dover. How many buggers will you send back? Out now.

Not sure who they sell them to but guessing there’s not much of a market from eco friendly firms ?!

Let’s ignore the fact that they generated so much in CC in the first place produce the highest selling EV globally (BYD overtaken them as total volume seller globally), open source patents for EV companies which has given others a leg up and now have an energy storage/battery business that is forecast to grow significantly in the coming years.

I don’t agree with some of this personal/political views but doesn’t mean he’s not an important player in the transition to a greener world

*I still have my concerns about EVs long term but they’re the best we’ve got at the moment

Too ‘Bond villain’ for my liking. Same with Jim Ratcliffe. Both definitely have volcano lairs.

If he were really an important player in that he wouldn’t be hoarding enormous sums of money as opposed to using that capital to try and make it happen.
