Farage is indistinguishable from current "Labour" Government in that they both support austerity. Which leftist is he trying to woo. He will kick out all the immigrants, then what? Will life improve? No in fact it'll be worse.

To pay for it, Farage is promising to end the government’s commitment to net zero, scrap diversity and inclusion schemes and stop housing asylum seekers in hotels or houses of multiple occupancy. Economists said his working was riddled with errors, such as including private sector investment as part of his calculation for how much he could save by ending environmental spending.

Again, why should he "pay for" tax cuts? Does he fear being ousted like Truss even if he's elected?

“Reform’s economic plan means either an explosion in borrowing, pushing up mortgage rates or swingeing cuts in public services like the NHS,” Ashworth said. “Given this is terrain Labour want to fight an election on, Reform have just walked into a trap and Labour strategists will be rubbing their hands with glee.’

Yes blow up the borrowing. As for mortgage rates, build public housing.

Of course, none of them are going to do anything. Not even the Greens or SNP or whatever, they are all afraid of the market gods.

General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both [email protected] and [email protected] .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

[email protected] appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(
