"The flagship policy of Farage has been support for the UK’s exit from the EU. That has damaged the economy and left us worse off. At the very least a Reform government would make any amelioration of those effects even less likely."

Prime Minister Farage would probably make you worse off – and this is why
Not many parties have impressive economic plans, but Reform's plans are particularly curious

We banned them from our farm but still used to get packs of dogs running across scaring our dogs, deer and all the other birds & creatures.
So every time we saw them on our land we set off the alarm (which sounds like a very loud WW2 air raid siren).
Now we never see them. 😀

Fox hunting is a revolting sport. It's only survived in any form because it's done by ghastly, entitled, influential and aristocratic people who feel it's the God given right to charge about the place in silly costumes tearing animals apart for no good reason.

I’m not sure they do. Not this Tory party.
Badenoch may be winning back a few Tory voters from Reform but she isn’t attracting anyone else.
She’s a liability, often disgraceful, arrogant, ignorant, nasty.
The party brought us austerity, Brexit and a Covid horrorshow.
Unforgivable. Unelectable.

The Badenoch–Farage worldview in a nutshell:
Foreigners are bad.
If something is bad, it must be foreign.
So talk of online harms, extremism, or crumbling schools and hospitals is dismissed unless it ends by blaming outsiders.
