I’ll be voting for them, drain the swamp
Reform UK seem to be peddling the usual populist, extreme right-wing claptrap but it is interesting that they also want to abolish inheritance tax and change planning rules to help property developers. I bet their leader, Richard Tice, who is a multi-millionaire property developer, picked those policies to suit himself. All of their other policies are identical to those of the Tories but delivered in a more basic and offensive manner. They are promising nothing different other than policies that line the pockets of rich property developers.
Yeah, can’t wait until labour get in and everything thing will be run by unions . Everyone will be on strike . Probably wearing rainbow lanyards and wristbands.
Correct glad to read that someone has a memory from the past. Unlike most of the live in a bubble islanders.
You seem to be confusing the 1970s with the more recent Labour terms in government, which were great.
And you also seem to have missed the fact that “everyone” was on strike recently and the unions secured pay deals that allowed people to survive the cost of living crisis. What a bunch of blinkered fools you are.
excellent news, the country is moving to the right, great news, trouble with socialism is they want everything you have, except your job!
“they want everything you have, except your job”
I think you’re confusing that with the Tories….
(except, of course, the Tories have already taken it,,.
which is why the Tax Burden is the higest since the war & all public services are chronically under-funded.
& why the privitised water companies have given all the profits to the (mostly) Tory shareholders instead of investing in infrastruture & now want to raise prices by 90%+ to give even more to the shareholders… )
still at least we’ll have our pensions, oh wait, Alistair Darling & the unelected Gordon Brown took them, along with 12bn of public sector funding in 4 years, labour? great, can’t wait!
the Tory ‘story’ is that their ‘Austerity’ policy, which caused so much damage to the NHS & Education etc, was necessary because of the 2008 financial crash,. which did happen while Labour were in power,..
however what they fail to mention, is that the major cause of that financial crash,,.. which caused a lot of damage to pension funds (mine included) amongst everything else, was the de-regulation of the banking industry, (allowing extreme reckless trading, for massive multi-million-pound bankers bonuses), by the previous CONservative government.
laughable, austerity due to Labour nearly bankrupting the country don’t you mean, borrow, borrow, that’s the Labour way!
The root cause of the financial issues, during the last labour government was greed based policies of the.previous Conservative govt.
As with now, labour, unfortunately, only seems to get into power when the CONservatives have f**Ked it all up, (& given all the money to their rich friends).. & then get blamed for the mess they inherit…
instead of the socially draining parasite left, pass me the rose tinted specs when you’re finished please!
How many years have the Tory Party been in charge and 14 years later you re still blaming Labour? Our hospitals are underfunded, Schools ,Councils and Universities are going bankrupt and Water Companies are polluting our countryside as the money they should ve spent on looking after this valuable asset was given to the Shareholders instead of being invested in badly needed improvements! That is without mentioning the Covid Parties and all the mayhem that went on there and the vast profits certain companies amassed including the record profits made by the energy firms later whilst we all froze as we couldn’t afford to heat our homes? They must have laughed all the way to the bank! They don’t care about people ,only money !
Don’t worry Garfield, we’ve always got the national gold reserves to fall back on, oh hang on, Labour squandered that too!
What about the unelected Lizz Truss, who in a couple of days, gave massive tax-breaks to the rich (and nothing to the less well off) & crashed the economy..
&The unelected Sunak, who has spent half a billion on his Rwanda publicity stunt, with absolutely no results….
A huge drain on public service is the illegals and labour are very quite about what they will do. Cost a fortune to keep them and to deal with. Seems to be a nice little earner for the legal system.
&, the CONservative record on dealing with illegal immigration is what???
The numbers coming over on the boats higher than ever this year…
Oh ,.. how about half a billion pounds on the Rwanda publicity stunt & not one single immigrant removed…
here comes Wightlink, but he forgets In 2011, Blair became godfather to one of Rupert Murdoch’s daughters. In doing so, he cemented a long-running friendship with the world’s most powerful right-wing ideologue — curious form for the ex-leader of a democratic socialist party. In 2018, it was revealed that the Tony Blair Institute had received a £9 million advisory fee from the Saudi Arabian government, making him the indirect beneficiary of a murderous regime condemned by Amnesty International and the UN for its human rights abuses.
Most heinous of all were the findings of the 2016 Chilcot Report into the (still ongoing) Iraq War. This offered conclusive legal proof that Blair had deliberately exaggerated the threat posed by Sadam Hussain
Ahem. Tony Blair is not the leader of the Labour party and hasn’t been since 2007. Newcastle United FC is owned by Saudi Arabia, which also owns the Independent and Evening Standard newspapers, 10% of Heathrow Airport, the Savoy Hotel, as well as high stakes in HSBC, Jaguar, BP, BT, and Shell, etc. It is a rich country and invests widely. Saudi Arabia provides funds to Oxford University, Cambridge University, LSE, etc. You can’t just condemn the Tony Blair Institute when “dirty” Saudi money is everywhere.
how ironic, nor is Liz Truss the Tory leader, hoisted by ones petard I see!
pray tell, please, inform us all what the Labour policy is?
£5 !!!!!!!.
For what ?????? To listen to
the same old we will do promises!!!.
Same smirking phoney smile ….
Same load B S …..
Bet they all pull every other party apart …..
All tarred and feathered with the same brush.!!!!!!
“Tickets are available for £5”
What ??????
they want you to vote for them AND they expect you to pay for it as well ???
Richard Tice, is a multi-millionaire property developer, and you have to pay to see him…??
(they really must be Tory underneath….)
DO NOT part with £5.00!! Utter cheek. Noone else charges too vote or listen too bs
you don’t speak for me
Maybe under them you could get educated and learn to spell.
I think they’ll use the £5 to stock up on jack boots for the faithful.
hopefully, my current pair need reheeling!
Surely you’ve all realised by now that the Tories and Reform actually want to replace all the workers with AI and robots. Then they can quite happily gas the lot of us. We are just a pain in the arse to them. They worship money.
Certainly will be getting my vote, but the £5 charge is a utter disgrace, that will put people off voting for reform bad decision.
Would I pay to listen to the Reform r e p r o b a t e s discuss their nonsensical pledges for hours upon end?
I’d rather watch paint dry.
£5 per ticket. Bunch of grifters.
Bring your own ( Coleman’s) mustard, it’s excellent with gammon. Maybe some pineapple rings too, whilst you part with your money.
Since when did people who are trying to secure your vote expect you to pay to hear their lies and nonsense? Reform and the Tories are hell bent on getting people to keep coughing up money to line their pockets. You would have to be a complete dunce to fall for that.
What pay him to try and sell his party? That sort of reform I don’t want. Pay me or put on buffet and I might go.
I personally believe Tice is a WEF plant
Big mistake charging a fiver
Yeah, it just shows what their focus is…
Steal all your money & feed you on bullsh1t…..(Just like the CONservatives)
Hilarious reading all of these morons pledging their support to Reform when they haven’t even got a clue what policies this “party” is promoting. You are all just hoping that they are racist as you because that is your only concern. Tell me three policies that differ from those of the Tories, other than wanting to abolish inheritance tax and changing planning rules to help property developers like Tice.
can we see your evidence & factual content on racist views please, because I have just read every comment on this thread & race, creed or ethnicity isn’t mentioned once, can I ask you, does labour have an issue with anti-semitism still, it may influence where I place my ‘X’
Name one policy other than those mentioned by Piper… Why do you want to vote Reform?
never answer a question with another question, it shows lack of depth, knowledge & intelligence. It also fuels poor debate, can you of answer my question 1st are labour anti-semetic?
where does Rich say he’s a reform voter, I can’t see it anywhere, all I can see is left in reverse, Peter, Peter do better please
Anyone know any Reform policies? Anyone? No. I thought not. Just a room full of dumb sheep who want to line the pockets of a multimillionaire property developer.
Rich showed he is a Reform voter by defending them. Obviously.
Rich you still haven’t told me any Reform policies. You are obviously a big fan because you rose to the racist baiting. See the logic. Now. Name some policies for me … No? You’ve got nothing have you.
& you still haven’t confirmed if Labour are anti semetic, see the logic?…..still waiting
If the ferries are running!
It’ll be worth 5 pound to throw bananas at him
Not entirely sure why I need to pay £5 to find out more about the Reform Party’s policies. Not overly impressed and will be checking out other candidates with more enthusiasm…..
