Given the party's refusal to act on Pochin's brazen racism, it should be as socially unacceptable to vote for Reform as it was in the early 2000s to vote for the BNP.

The East India Company has come home.
Whether it is water, energy or other sectors corporations rule the roost, exploiting people, workers and the environment.
Political parties funded by corporations obey.
Can't build a good society and democracy without curbing corporate power.

Taming corporations is the key issue of our times
To appease corporations, people may raze mountains, divert rivers, clear forests, cover countryside in tarmac and shower subsidies upon them, but they have no loyalty to any place, people or product.

Let non-doms pay £250,000 and avoid some UK tax says Farage who claims to be “man of the people”
So he wants to reduce the tax liability for UK non doms to £250K on the millions of £’s they make in the UK.. cutting tax revenues
So tax would need to go up for us, or services like #NHS would be cut
