In policy area after policy area Labour keep proving they are a million miles away from Reform.
Here, the Chancellor proving it with minimum wages for all, but especially the young.
But it is even true in areas like migration & asylum.
Why do people keep lying by suggesting they are the same?

Its as if Tory/Reform leaders, or members, have wealth to protect - and poor & disabled people HAVE to become a threat.
Of course, they can't attack workers, because they might need their votes.
And the racism is just bait to lure in the poor & ignorant.
