Are you in despair about Reform UK?
This project from our friends at Ripples and Tactical Vote has raised £4,000.
They said they're blown away and will not only 'fact check' Reform politicians, they're going to monitor what Reform does in all 10 of the councils it now runs.

The government's current policy is to announce one policy per day that sounds like it might maybe lead to economic growth – but to ignore the one huge factor that they *know* continues to be the biggest drag on the economy: Brexit.

I believe the majority of the people in the country want to be as close as possible to the EU ( even those who were duped into voting Leave) but it’s the government that’s hesitant. They are terrified of the (toxic) RW press.
