Yup.... they're not the only ones that have and will fee the effect of increase employment costs.Yeah, it's going to be horrendous. Sainsbury's sacking thousands while making a billion pound profit.
Somehow, I think backing Trump's USA v normalcy will take its toll on his popularity - unless his appeal to patriotic Brits turns to persuading them that subservience to the EU (in which we had a major say) is worse than submission to a foreign dictatorship in which we have no say. Let's hear it from the Reform types - is that what you want?
Can you work out why this is?Either way, they’re rising up in the polls and and show no signs of slowing down.
Can you work out why this is?
Is it because everyone that votes for them is stupid or is it because people have woken up and cannot accept the crap alternatives that both the the Labour and Conservatives (not forgetting the Social Democrats and the greens) have to offer.
Think about it. What a really shit dichotomy. Both options give us thieves and liars.
So the removal of WFP was a lie then?Social media, lies, disinformation, anti migrant and ‘woke’ bullshit over and over - same people that were conned by Farage with Brexit are the same people happy to be conned again.
Labour are doing a fine job by the way.
Do you think Reform would be doing a better job? Did you vote for brexit by any chance?So the removal of WFP was a lie then?
So was the employer NI contribution having been told taxes wouldn't rise?
Is being concerned about your overcrowded country taking even more migrants anti-migrant? FFS we have no houses for people to live in, too few doctors for the population, too few schools and teachers and there are clowns who want to bring more people in?.... I really do despair at the low level of common sense in this country.
You really do have low standards if you are satisfied with this Labour Government, still, it does take allsorts.
Your question might be better phrased "do you think Reform could do a worse job"?Do you think Reform would be doing a better job? Did you vote for brexit by any chance?

I think how you voted has relevance to how you feel the current government is performing.Your question might be better phrased "do you think Reform could do a worse job"?
How I voted has no relevance to how the current government is performing.
Not really I have been totally dissatisfied with both major parties and the whole democratic set up for at least two decades.I think how you voted has relevance to how you feel the current government is performing.
Let's be honest, people vote Reform because they're right wing and the usual choice for right wingers is fucked for the foreseeable future because of the utter failure of particularly their last 5 years in power. This 'the main two parties are just as bad as each other' is just bullshit from people who don't want to admit that they're right wing, which is a pretty common occurrence at every election.Can you work out why this is?

What policies?Let's be honest, people vote Reform because they're right wing and the usual choice for right wingers is fucked for the foreseeable future because of the utter failure of particularly their last 5 years in power.

This idea that people are done with grifters and corruption (14 million votes for Boris, even though we all knew what he was like) so they're going to vote for Nigel Farage of all people, is bollocks. They vote for Farage because they agree with his policies.
Get rid of the immigrants. Close the borders. Fuck Europe but somehow still freely trade with them, but only if we can write all of the rules. I didn't say they were good policies.What policies?
He has no policies just spouts words that mugs fall forGet rid of the immigrants. Close the borders. Fuck Europe but somehow still freely trade with them, but only if we can write all of the rules. I didn't say they were good policies.
I think you're being rather disingenuous to suggest that anyone who cannot vote for Labour or Conservative means they are right wing. Both those two parties are hopeless in their inability to be flexible about their ideologies.Let's be honest, people vote Reform because they're right wing and the usual choice for right wingers is fucked for the foreseeable future because of the utter failure of particularly their last 5 years in power.

I didn't say that. I said that if you're disillusioned with the Tories and Labour and you then go for the most right wing of the other options, then you're probably right wing. If I was in the same boat and voted Green, you'd probably be pretty safe to assume I'm a leftie.I think you're being rather disingenuous to suggest that anyone who cannot vote for Labour or Conservative means they are right wing.
Well people are complicated. But if you've paid attention to the last 10 years of Nigel Farage's career and everything he's said, and you think he'd enact any of those policies, then I think you'd be in for a nasty surprise if he ever got into power.I mean how does that work when I'm all for state ownership of ALL the utilities and internal transportation?

Yeah a little bit. I mean when people give that as their reason for voting for Reform, not just when people say that in general. Nothing wrong with thinking that the main two parties are shit and looking for a third option (even if under our current stupid system, they've got fuck all chance), but don't then pretend you're not basically picking the one that aligns with your values politically."This 'the main two parties are just as bad as each other' is just bullshit from people who don't want to admit that they're right wing"
To me, this Pretty much says that anyone who cannot vote for Labour or Conservative means they are right wing. or have I misread you?
