austerity, implosion and u turn. sounds like the tories.
Interesting this is getting downvoted. Wasn’t Reddit left wing ? Ahh I see all those bots working extra.
More likely to get option 4. Fiscal implosion, deep austerity and a hasty U turn.
Should it come as a surprise that “deport all the brown people and it’ll be fine” doesn’t actually have any sound economic analysis behind it?
Reform openly share the same economic policy of Lis Truss.
The Labour/Conservative social and economic plans of the last 30 years have wrecked the social and economic fabric of the UK.
Reform will do better.
Change is coming.
What! You mean the self serving charlatans would not actually help the country?
Regardless of what party, can we all just admit this country’s economy is fucked regardless?
The best hope is that the support for Reform will finally force the government to fix the, totally broken, immigration system and deal with illegals.
The worst outcome is that they actually gain some real power. That scares me!
> Recently, Mr Farage has doubled down on his single costliest pledge, to lift the personal allowance for income tax from £12,570 to £20,000.
Reform are Lib Dems on steroids! Combine this with the policy of burying electricity cabling, the NIMBYism and the campaign against means testing winter fuel payments and it’s a perfect match!
All this stuff is one more reason why I hope Labour are really serious about getting migration under control, personally I think getting down to about 200k net migration is where a reduction looks serious. That’s a marginal cut on the pre-Boris level.
We need serious parties to occupy the centre ground of actual public opinion, not the centre ground as constructed by the media.
It be financial implosion, deep austerity, then blame immigrants, ECHR, and trans.
They’re wearing the paedo association on their sleeves with that slogan.
Sound policies no longer matter. Farage is doing to Labour what he did to the Tories, forcing them to react to him.
Just look across the water. The only policies that matters to Reform are the ones they’ve not written down : Government by a “company limited by guarantee” – not a Political Party; disinformation and outright climate-change-denialism; subversion of the courts and authoritarianism.
Their ‘reform’ promises a form of direct democracy where the country is run to serve the needs of the majority alone : the boomer generation – to the exclusion of everyone else.
Farage admitted he was shocked when Leave won in 2016. And as we have seen, there was no plan, no strategy, no positive outcome. History will repeat itself in 2029.
My money is on deep austerity. Immigration is there current political march so after will be the poor “not doing enough to help themselves”. Same as last time but faster would be my guess.
The nigel mirage is tempting the morons deeper into the desert, forever chasing the dream of…no brown people on the bus. All and any sacrifice is worth it, as long as they don’t see…a brown person on the bus.
A party whose leader praised Liz Truss and her unfunded tax cuts, which caused interest rates to skyrocket, making people lose disposable income to increased mortgage rates.
Oh well, at least he fixed the fishing industry.
