I'm sure that months ago Reform UK we're arguing that migrants are coming here because we make it too easy for them to get work.
Starmer suggests electronic ID cards to make it harder and they all throw their toys out of the pram.
Almost makes me think Reform don't want to solve 'the problem'.

Cutting 20p off fuel duty blows a £9.1bn hole - nearly the entire home office budget. Total uncosted, populist wank. And scrapping half-built HS2? No refunds for concrete bridges. It’s smog, spin, and economic fantasy. Farage is a batshit crazy idiot. #ukpilitics

Because they know tactical voting is what will keep Reform out

The @neu teaching union was just on @radio4 talking about potential strikes.
For me, it's not so much the 2.8% offer that is the issue, it's that it's unfunded.
That means that if I get the 2.8% my school will have to make 2.8% cuts elsewhere.
Please explain to me where those cuts should come from?
