Recently read that the election date is being pushed up and that Nigel Farage will be running, despite previously claiming he wouldn't, which is expected to screw over the Tories even more?
Your Lord knows very well what is in your heart. Your soul suffices this day as a reckoner against you. I need no witnesses. You do not listen to your soul, but listen instead to your anger and your rage.
Reform UK is just the renamed Brexit Party. It'll be funny if they have the same manifesto as the BP as a lot of it was actually quite radical left wing. Of course, it was a complete pack of lies to try and be "populist" but it was still interesting reading.
No extension to the Brexit transition period
No privatisation of the NHS
Reducing immigration
Cutting VAT on domestic fuel
Banning the UK exporting its waste
Providing free broadband in deprived regions
Scrapping the television licence fee
Abolishing inheritance tax
Scrapping High Speed 2 (HS2)
Abolishing interest on student loans
Changing planning to help house building
Reforming the Supreme Court
Reform the voting system to make it more representative
Abolish the House of Lords
Making MPs who switch parties subject to recall petitions
Reform the postal voting system to combat fraud

Both the Tories and the last Labour privatised parts of the NHS.
China doesn't take waste anymore. They haven't for a few years because they realised recycling isn't economically beneficial. Everyone now ships to other far east countries. Vietnam being the biggest now. They also just dump it in the ocean.
It's funny when westerners of a certain political persuasion say that China was a far bigger polluter than the US. Ignoring the fact that it was western country's waste they were dumping. Out of sight, out of mind though.

It's things like private contractors for medical waste disposal, distribution of medication to pharmacies, other services like that and then a big chunk of social care that's privatised (care homes for people with no savings usually run as small businesses)Taxpayer funded and private companies bid for the contracts.

That's literally what they've done, but Farage admits he won't win and nobody takes it seriously. It's simply an anti-immigration party to oust out the Tories.
What's insane is how seriously the media and politicians take them "It Could Have Been Acid!!!"
Yup, because this election is just an anti-Tory one. Not a pro-Labour one (although Labour will inevitably spin it as that when they get their super majoirty).

It's pathetic. I watched the Bolsover candidates and the Labour candidate was a joke. The question was about education and she talked about how she's a mum with children and slagged off the Tories, didn't even answer the question.
Imagine if the Libdems or Reform actually win or get more seats than Labour... That would be embarrassing. Finally defeat the Tories but still the leader of opposition.
There is a potential race for the number 2 spot. Although I have a feeling some of the worst case scenario polls for Tories wouldn't actually happen in reality. But nice to dream.
The scary scenario however is if Reform and Tories combine for the next election. They would probably beat this current Labour, given Labour excite nobody nowadays.
