🚨 Things that will give us a #Reform govt in 2029:
❌ Inflation/cost of living crisis
❌ Rent gouging/housing crisis
❌ Racism and govt failure to oppose or call out racism
❌ Difficulty in getting a GP or hospital appointment
❌ #Labour tribalism and refusal to work with other parties
❌ Loss of hope.

🚨 Your occasional pre-budget reminder that: if a govt finds itself in a financial bind and it chooses not to tax the super-rich, that govt will (by definition) be choosing to tax people with far less wealth and much less income instead. Politics is about making choices... #WealthTaxNow #TaxTheRich

To be honest, we wish he wasn't leader or co-leader of #YourParty (he should be Hon Pres or some such title) but his residual following/name-recognition probably gives this latest new left-of-Labour party a better chance than most. And we tend to support parties and policies rather than leaders.

Sadly, they will find the candidates. It's going to be the absolute nadir in terms of parliamentary reputation if they do win, or even if they just do well. We predict grift, sleaze, and scandal on an epic scale that the few remaining #Tories can only dream of. 😢
