I certainly wasn’t intending to make a habit of writing about the Reform Party, but it seems to be in the business of routinely making my point for me, and it’s been an interesting couple of days.
I think you sum things up in regards to Reforms "policies" very well
As someone who works in healthcare it was really disappointing to see that exception. To see that in Reform's eyes my wages and working standards are not worth protecting.
You are also totally correct about the backdoor. A co-worker of mine from Nigeria (nice guy it must be said) earns by my estimation £27000 per year and had his pregnant wife over as a dependant. She ended up having twins. So now there are 4 unfunded liabilities for our public services as opposed to one.
Have you read Matt Goodwin's 'Why Farage should stand'? A good read, I can't comment on it, I did subscribe but he doesn't engage with his readers.
I think he, NF, should stand. His recent refusal has demoralised many into either holding their nose for Sunak or worse. simply not voting.
There's been the idea Farage would boost the Reform %age. Assuming the traditional Tory and new Reform voter has similar values the gap with Labour narrows. I do think 630 candidates is spreading the jam too thinly, that a 100 seats target for Reform would be better use of applied pressure. After all there are around 400 seats they'd never get. Tice is a stubborn fool for rejecting a pact.
In my ideal world I wouldn't have a Sunak. I'd have liked a respectable showing from Reform but without Farage they have no soldiers, no trebuchets, no archers, only camp followers and the divided and conquered disgruntled.
My whole thrust is to keep Starmer out. By many accounts he won't have long if he wins. Even now they are showing themselves up as a rabble.
