Reform UK has presented their latest plan for the UK - and I’m afraid the crayons were working overtime.
£25bn of imaginary savings, treaty breaches, punishment rhetoric and a health calculation method that made me roll my eyes so hard I nearly lost consciousness.
So, nothing new, really.

I'm all for this. A good work/life balance should not be purely the reserve of the wealthy. No-one should miss out on spending time with loved ones or doing things they enjoy just to pay the bills. Life is for living!
🚨NEW REPORT - The Evidence for a 4-Day School Week🚨
Teachers are burnt out and leaving the profession in droves.
The status quo isn’t working. It’s time to try something that might.
It’s time to trial a 4-day week in schools.

@jemmaforte.bsky.social @marina-purkiss.bsky.social I've heard a few rumours and wouldn't be surprised if it is indeed the case that Trump and Netanyahu deliberately conspired to wait before calling a ceasefire for their own political ends. How many lives could have been saved if they really cared

Will the media find out how FaRage’s partner bought an £800k+ house in Frinton in cash? Will they give voters this transparency? In fact why not examine all MPs property purchases over last 5 years. That’s a story I’d like to read.
