For all the things wrong with this country that could be fixed by government policy, Reform Farage goes after banning working from home? They are not a serious party. Gaslighting clickbait Nazis.

#Farage comes back out against working from home to a crowd of pensioners… and has also repeated that he never said that council tax would go down. The party did on all their leaflets. Semantics. Asshat.
