Reform have suggested housing Asylum Seekers in the Falkland Islands.
There are only 3,470 people on the Falklands, and we have to subsidise them £300,000,000 on top of what an ordinary citizen in the UK costs.
Housing them in the Falklands would be more expensive than Rwanda.

Isn't it time they pay for policing before giving their players £500,000 a week?

Nothing screams financial acumen and fiscal responsibility like Reform not knowing you have to charge VAT on goods and services provided in the UK❗️🙄

Amazing story in The Times. Reform UK failed to pay VAT to HMRC on its sales (tickets, merchandise). About £400k in all.
Not tax avoidance. Not tax evasion. They just didn't realise when you sell stuff you have to charge VAT.

The botched Brexit deal dreamt up by the Farage and delivered by the Conservatives has brought nothing but red-tape and economic misery.
The government must now deliver their promised “EU-reset” - starting with a new UK-EU Customs Union.
