Reform is a Limited Company
Farage owns 53%
It was formed in 2019 to push for a “no-deal Brexit”
It wants to reintroduce the Liz Truss budget
It wants to privatise the NHS
& invest in fossil fuels
Close the BBC

Two ways to go:
1/ a 🇬🇧-🇪🇺 security agreement, Canada-like, to be negotiated,
or 2/ the UK applying to the 🇪🇺SM, which could be quickly done.
UK’s choice.
It can be done in parallel with military deployment.
