Reform are not fiscally credible.

Their local government DOGE is not delivering what they promised. I don’t know if they are gathering the data they were aiming for.

Question them on numbers and they fall apart like a cheap suit.

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Kemi Badenoch appears to be getting plaudits for a speech in which she breezily claimed to have found £47,000,000,000 in savings.

The inconvenient truth is that these numbers are nothing more than a fantasy.

This really is Liz Truss's party now.

Lord Heseltine, "The number of people aged below 50 who think it was right for us to leave the European Union, is less than 20%

Hands up if you are one of the 56% 🙋‍♂️

Imagine how high the Green Party would be polling if they got the same 24/7 coverage as Reform.

It would be much higher than Reform.

A house in Clacton bought with unknown finances, a Russian funded Welsh leader and now an investigation into the finances and tax affairs of one of Farage’s key ally.

The treachery and corruption is right in front of the media’s eyes and they do and say, NOTHING!

The angry people, the extremists, those whipped up to vote by the RW media, will vote.

The risk is the sensible people stay at home.

Couple of examples to support my point, that people have been brainwashed to vote against their own interests:
- working class Tory (especially those who bought their house RTB, now complain their kids have been removed from the council wait list
- Brexit

Not sure there is such a thing as an ordinary British voter, but I get what you mean.

From what I can tell, there is a significant group of voters who have ‘just about had enough’ of Cons/Lab govts. People groomed by right wing media.

Groomed to vote against their own interests.
