And of course he will get and claim a lavish pension from the EU.
Bitter old man hates young people – shock horror exclusive
He is going to lose whatever youth votes that remain. They are now flocking to the Greens and more will now turn out to vote against Reform.
Brilliant play from them.
I bet if you stood next to him you’d be overcome but the putrid smell of all the billionaires he wanks off in private.
>He insisted that cutting the minimum wage for 18-to 20-year-olds would build character.
Yeah nothing builds character like undermining people’s socioeconomic prospects and lining the pockets of fat cats all while pushing people further into poverty and worse off outcomes /s
Really, who listenss to this and thinks “yeah I’m going to vote Reform, they’ll make the country better”
He said we should either lower the minimum wage for young first-time workers or raise the NI threshold to incentivise hiring them.
Funny thing is, someone made the same point here not long ago and it got a upvotes.
Newsthump being a satire news source and still posting more truth than any media outlets currently
Quite the state
Hmm. Perhaps Farage is looking at the polls and *wants* to loose the next election.
Enough momentum to chip away and disrupt, but enough to not become PM and continue to grift without needing to show up.
I don’t like this timeline where *Newsthump is a News Service*
Its almost kind of funny at this point listening to Tice trying to defend this on LBC today by saying they’ll also ensure people will pay less tax. But he’s doing this on a show that started with them talking about how Reform also now aren’t going to do their tax cuts. So… which is it? And fucking hell how much tax do they think someone earning £10/h is paying? They could pay £0 tax and it would make little difference to their disposable income compared to paying a more normal rate for rents or their utility bills coming down significantly. What are Reform’s proposals for either of those issues? Apparently just a rehash of Thatcherism and Trussism from what I can tell?
Now I know as in actually know the meaning of .

I’ll be really honest here –
I’m an employer and the quality and ability coming out of school, college and university over the last 5 years has MASSIVELY declined. At the same time, the minimum wage has skyrocketed to keep up with soaring costs.
I don’t want the wage to be cut, but I do want something fairly radical to happen with parenting or education. It’s very strange for people that we have a generation of people who are largely self-infantalising, and shy away from anything that might be difficult or uncomfortable.
Generally I feel like they’ve been woefully failed by their education and their families.
The problem with delusional narcissistics is that they are driven to demonstrate proformative cruelty to punish people for things that never happened.
They hate anybody not like them, anybody weaker than them, they project their own self loathing on to the people they hate and are driven to make their lives even more difficult.
Bit rich init when then “National Living Wage” is more like a National scraping by wage.
As much as wish it should be, this shouldn’t be marked as Satire – this is Nige’s opinion and he is paid £3k to chat shit on gb news.
Disabled people last week, young people this week. Who will they be attacking next week? Teachers or nurses? I guess they’ll go back to attacking foreign people again.
The beautiful people, the beautiful people
It’s all relative to the size of your steeple.
Captalism has made it this way
Old fashioned fascism will take it away!
‘I read a book about someone else’s struggle and it changed my life’ You really can’t make it up this guy is an absolute weapon
Letting the young vote go in favour of the old voters who think young people don’t deserve homes
Same logic that says young people could afford a house if only they’d give up expensive coffees and smashed avocado toast.
Why being 22 makes you more eligible to be paid more than a 19 year old doing exactly the same job I will never know. I do know however that student accommodation in most cities can easily run you >£1000 a month and you can start uni when you’re 17
He’s so close to the answer.
Minimum wage is too high compared to the next bracket of jobs, but the answer is increasing these bands and removing the drag.
I don’t see why young people are payed a lesser minimum wage this should be scrapped it just let’s companies exploit young workers, cutting wages for youngsters on the lower minimum wages will increase their right to UC to get by, which is the big biscuit why does the state have to prop up full time workers,companies need to start paying a living wage that doesn’t need state support. What is the point of full time work if you still need UC to survive?
This is the perfect headline to push back against this man.
Genuinely saw someone trying to come up with reasons why it is good “well if we make Minimum wage for under 18’s £6 an hour, businesses are more likely to employ them”.
So you want these poor kids to be on some shite 8 hour contract over 3 days, making £48, but having to spend an two hours a day, on a bus that is costing them £3 each way (because a weekly ticket isn’t worth it, and a day rider is £6.50). And in the end of all of that, they will have £30 to do what with? Save for a house, or buy a single takeaway?
And then what, when they they turn 21 are the company going to keep them, or make them “redundant” and hire more kids.
No wonder Farage wanted Brexit. No wonder he wanted this influx of non EU registered immigrants so THEY can do all the shite jobs on £4 an hour, but they are not doing that, so have to find someone else for the mills.
And all this after Labour shat all over young people by not having the under 22 bus pass scheme. Ridiculous.
