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.

Wasn't he in hospital with pneumonia?

Still allegedly

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

If Reform were running fake candidates someone other than an obscure twitter account would be running with it

There’s a number of people running with it but electoral commission said it’s a police issue

Papers have spoken to this bloke, there's no other evidence

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

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

Doesn't mean they are not real.

loads of people don't attend the couts, paper candidates are run by most parties

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Haha! What the hell is going on?!

I’ll accept your apology now esb

Jo Maughan is not a bot

 

[David O'Day]

I’ll accept your apology now esb

He doesn't have any evidence ad is just replying to the original claims

 

[David O'Day]

Jo Maughan is not a bot

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.

 

[Grendel]

Jo Maughan is not a bot

no he is an attention seeking c**t

So the rumours this guy was a Reform candidate were not true in the end.

Charity bet, Sir?

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Charity bet, Sir?

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

 

[skybluetony176]

I wonder



Not just one constituency either

Elon Musk impersonator.

this has been explained

I don’t believe anything I see on X.

Tesla are doing some amazing stuff in this area. Love him or hate him Musk is an important player in global net zero goals

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

Good luck finding and then disposing of the chemical supplies required to make such batteries then.

Doesn't he sell his carbon credits to companies that build gas guzzlers?

This is installations, so I’m fairly sure that’s not an issue.

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.
