The Minimum Wage is too high.
The richest 4% earning £100,000+ pay too much tax.
The State Pension needs to be means tested.
We should get rid of the NHS.
The retirement age is too low.

Reform, with 0.7% of all MPs, featured in 25% of BBC's recent 10pm news bulletins
Astonishingly, a party with 18 times as many MPs as Reform has received one-third less coverage on BBC News at 10.

The govt don’t need to just challenge Reform’s anti immigration stance but many will say be honest about the desperate need for more migrants. Net migration is lowering, we are an ageing population and have huge job shortages. The country’s lifeline is immigration. Only 2-3% arrive on boats.
