ok, i'm calling it: that unattributed screenshot of Your Party membership exactly matching Reform UK's is bullshit. fake. a mock-up. unsubstantiated.
whether created in a fit of enthusiasm from an edit of a Wikipedia page (it's certainly Wikipedia-styled, but then why not give the source page?) or as an attempt at disinformation, i don't know. but the simple fact is that at this point in time, they're not even taking membership fees (though they are soliciting donations), so "signing up" is the equivalent of joining a mailing list.
i can readily believe that 300,000 people have shown an interest. a lot of people are very pissed off right now. but at the moment, there is no membership figure. there's not even a party of which one COULD be a member. so this whole thing is just hot air.
leah & tigers & bears, oh my!
