In the 1980's Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher allowed the richest to buy all our Public Resources, then the billionaires used all the money stolen from you to buy the Government.
That is how we got to the hell we have now.

It’s notable, but not exactly surprising, that so many* of the supposedly ‘sensible’ Brexiters have turned out to be mad, racist, hideous and/or stupid Farage fans. Montgomerie, a particularly pungent proof of this particular pudding, has been stealing a living for years.

So, Tim Montgomerie, founder of Conservative Home, defects to Reform.
No shock to me; he bent steadily to the far right from the time I followed him until the time he blocked me for criticising Toby 'dick up your wife's arse' Young.

Rupert Lowe of Reform failed to vote for it despite it being in their manifesto.
To be fair, he was probably busy being distracted by milk or pretending not to know that a fellow Reform MP slapped a woman about.
