In Parliament REFORM have voted against:
Ban on fire/rehire of workers on worse working conditions.
Ban on exploitative Zero-hour contracts
Improvements to paternity leave
Allowing workers bereavement leave
Improvements in sick pay
Why are workers supporting a party that will reduce their welfare?

Oh yeah, I forgot: rich people are too poor to pay tax, whereas poor people are so rich that we can always cut a few of their benefits.
That sounds plausible and rational, which is why it's the basis of our entire tax and benefits system.

Putin thought he could divide Europe, and a victory for Trump would weaken the west.

When Britain alone has a GDP one and a half times the size of Russia.
It’s unacceptable that 500 million Europeans have left themselves exposed and dependent on 340 million Americans to protect them from 140 million Russians, who have been unable to win against 40 million Ukrainians in a three-day war that has lasted for three years.
