Aside from the cruelty of this, I’d just like to know why it’s ok to ignore and disappoint liberal/progressive voters.
Why do governments chase Farage and his voters, thinking that will neutralise them. It’s NEVER worked. He’s leading in the polls and his ideas have ruined us. WTF are you doing?

This is as bad as anything proposed by Reform.
Leaving refugees in permanent limbo and unable to build a new life in the UK would be a complete abdication of our humanitarian responsibilities

Looks like hes trying to direct the show and folks around him just doing as they are told, little sign of them really trying to help. No amount of brains will dig him out of this hole, he'll find himself isolated soon I reckon/hope.

I want someone to say it and spell it out loudly. Expose his allegiance to Trump and Billionaires, his plans to make us all just to exist or expire early with no NHS unless you can afford privatisation. And you won't be able to protest or complain because he wants us to leave the ECHR =, no rights.
The Reform Vote is a stupid one, that has to be said on repeat. Farage snd Reform belong back in the quagmire. Because voting for them is just punching yourself in the head whilst they rip you and your family off and watch the country burn. We have to be blunt, because it's true.

I cannot stress this enough, as with Patel, Braverman, Sunak et al, do not bring Mahmood's background or religion into your arguments against policies. Racism is racism, no matter how "progressive" you think you make it sound. Counter the ideas, the inhumanity, the cruelty.

Bias is often in the eye of the beholder
So let’s stick to measurable facts
During 10 yrs of debate about Brexit, BBC QuestionTime had Britain’s Members of the European Parliament on the show 50 times
Every single one was from the pro Brexit minority
47 were from UKIP/BP
23 times Farage
