Farage launches ‘Reform FC’ – except its not a football club

Reform UK has released its own football shirt in an attempt by dirty Farage to get working-class football fans on its side.

Buy an official Reform FC shirt and join the winning team today.

Seeing as there is no team attached to this shirt, my first question was, ‘What does the FC stand for?’

And the FC stands for…? https://t.co/NJbh7ZnDva

The website states:

it reflects our commitment to independence, strength and unity.

But I’m not sure how strong they’ll really be – because obviously, they won’t be playing anyone on the left wing.

On reflection, there won’t be anyone in the centre either. So it will be eleven right-wingers, running after a flat ball on a slanted pitch.

Keep politics out of football

Taking the knee for Black Lives Matter was too much for Mr Farage. So much so, that he wanted ‘politics keeping out of football’.

I guess he needs a little help figuring out what he wants. Someone get the man a therapist.

Silly me. I thought they wanted politics out of football. https://t.co/cKCQcdFT6O

Publicity stunt

Liz Ward pointed out that this latest publicity stunt is from the same playbook as the ‘Reform Pub’—an attempt by the far-right to stir up hatred among working-class communities.

This is another attempt in a long line of upper class, privately educated, far-right leaders wanting to whip up the hatred of the working classes. This follows the ‘Reform Pub’.

It’s the same sentiment as Boris Johnson’s ‘Oven ready deal’ https://t.co/njJT1oVoKF

Because you see – that’s it entirely.

Football is political.

That’s why Farage and reform have done this.

That’s why we have headlines about knees, and statements and rainbow laces.

They just don’t like it when the politics isn’t theirs.

But remember, Farage, Tice, and the like are privately educated, rich boys. They are the elite and have never struggled a day in their lives. They have no clue about the realities of football culture. This is all for show.

At least now we can identify idiots before they open their mouths.

A way to identify idiots. I’m all for it. https://t.co/pj85dlhksR

Remember when Farage kicked off because Team GB changed the colour of the Union Jack for their kit? He said he was ‘dead against‘ brands redesigning the Union Jack.

Reform- “you can’t change the colour of the Union Jack!”

Also Reform- changes the colour of the Union Jack

How people can vote for these halfwits is beyond me https://t.co/cYoRXqsFSp

But now, he has changed the colour of the Union Jack.

Remember when FauxRage said to “Keep Politics out of Football”? We do.

Just another grift to make himself some cash. Oh & the union flag is in reform colours not traditional red white & blue. Remember when they lost their shit over the England kit with a different coloured flag? https://t.co/I1AlgC6mdV pic.twitter.com/CqLtXaVu0C

Farage and Reform: grifters, the lot of ’em

The right wing has plenty of time to get their Christmas lists in.

Some poor kid is going to get a Reform football kit for Christmas from their grandmother. I can feel it. https://t.co/KBvJv67zuJ

Yer dad’s asking for a new football shirt for Christmas and he wants ‘Stop the Boats 69’ on the back. https://t.co/bHA3hlfluX

— Damon (@damonbwfc) August 17, 2025

Really, this is just another way for Farage to make a bit of extra cash, as if his nine jobs weren’t enough.

Thought these cunts didn’t want anyone changing the Union Jack for commercial gain?? Grift dot com https://t.co/f7OEgUqi3o

Meanwhile, back in the real world us at the Canary could teach Farage a thing or two about supporting grassroots sport. Because we do actually sponsor a working-class football team:

🚨 MATCH DAY 🚨

The games are coming thick and fast.
3 wins out of 3.
Tonight, we’re under the lights…

Keep politics out of football, unless it’s my politics. Don’t change the Union Jack, unless it’s on my shirt. Farage’s previous attempts at ‘keeping Britain British’ are nothing more than a pathetic attempt at clickbaity headlines. Because as soon as it suits, or he stands to make a load of cash, he changes his mind and thinks we won’t remember.
