The stupidity of Farage’s latest ‘plan’ is staggering.
Claiming they’d save British taxpayers money by ripping up international commitments and starting a trade war with Europe is the puerile foot-stamp of a party that uses prejudice as policy. Ruinous nonsense.

Reform would ‘cut benefits for EU nationals and hike NHS immigration surcharge’
Party claims its policies would eliminate ‘black hole’ Rachel Reeves faces in the budget – but Labour says the ‘fantasy numbers don’t add up’

"the chancellor has decided not to proceed following estimates suggesting a gap in the public finances is £10bn smaller than previously thought."

Just a reminder, the coward who refused to accept an election loss in 2020 and then committed crimes trying to overthrow that election will certainly cheat, abuse his powers, and break the law to try to win the 2026 & 2028 elections.
He’s a real threat to democracy. Believe it.

Drip, drip, drip. More and more good news and positivity coming into the public domain. So much of it for our young people and families. This really matters. And no other Party can achieve this because they don’t look after our young. They look after their donors.

President Clinton banned assault rifles in 1994, mass shootings dropped by 43%.
Republicans let the ban expire in 2004, and they increased 243%.
The USA is the only country where anybody can buy an assault rifle.
INSANE.
