Robert Jenrick is lying.
Reform UK has spent almost £1.5 MILLION with Harding Print Solutions to date.
They are NOT a local Manchester printer.
They are Reform's go-to print company and have been for a long time.

Good customer service increases chances of repeat custom. A friend of mine accidentally broke one of his Bose ear buds and got in touch to see if he could get a repair. They ended up sending out a replacement pair FOC. All done via web chat, courteously and he'll buy from Bose again

Going to be honest, if your first reaction to a news story about the rape of toddlers is to point out that your opponents aren’t talking about it because they only talk about it when it politically suits them, I don’t really see the difference between you and them? You are both using the story.

All I want is a functioning national government which delivers on its promises and places individual ambitions on the back seat. Endless public bickering, side stepping and power struggles lead to dysfunctional government, mistakes and show of weakness to the world.
