Yes - precisely! We do need to hear the fine detail of Green policy.

You need to tell the British people what the greens would do if they had a budget? What savings they would make. How much taxes taxpayers would have to pay. NHS. Policing. Schools. Transport services etc how would the greens budget?
The very first thing the Prime Minister does is use the household budget metaphor.
A metaphor - this report into BBC coverage - said could be "easily misleading."
Why is the government trying to mislead the country?

Brace yourselves for some predictable howls of outrage in the media over new taxes on Britain’s most expensive homes. Suspect this will be a better reflection of the financial circumstances of newspaper editors and broadcast execs than those of their readers and viewers.

UK gambling industry made £15.6bn in 2024 (£16.8bn in 2025)
Most companies holed up in Gibraltar & Malta, dodge UK taxes. Some pay corporation tax at the rate of 3%-4%. No VAT on gambling.
Public bears the cost of gambling addiction.
Firms resent paying extra tax to clear their mess.

They promised £350m a week. Instead we’re paying the price daily.
We must fix our relationship with Europe to fix Britain.

With this government? I doubt it.
Announce a referendum for next summer. It'll be a 60%+ rejoin vote and hammer through the votes in Parliament with the huge pro EU majority in there. The sooner we start the sooner it gets done and we can minimize the damage.

Just rejoin ffs. Tell all the Brexit wankers we can't afford their little Englander cosplaying bullshit.
The UK is losing up to £250m a day in lost tax revenue due to the economic impact of Brexit, House of Commons Library analysis for the Lib Dems suggests.
Brexit has blown a "black hole of [up to] £90 billion a year in the public finances" the party says. Even under lower estimates the hit is ~£65bn

I remain to be convinced by this! Collapsing?
To add to this
I suspect it’s the floating, badly informed people who thought Farage “tells it like it is” who are shocked at this clear racism in his history and character
The flag shagging, roundabout painting racists not only won’t care, they’ll see it as a positive thing
They must be stopped

Reform is collapsing in the polls.
I’ve been saying for ages that they’ve already peaked and that scrutiny and exposure was always going to destroy Farage.
I’d be amazed if he’s even still an MP by next summer. I fully expect him to rage quit, saying Parliament “is silencing” him.
