  1. I read a take recently that Reform is starting to fall into the same trap that nobbled the left wing.

    Aka, being full of terminally online people who think what they see on X reflects public opinion.

    This MAGA cosplay is a prime example of that, when I reckon any actual polling or focus groups would tell you that aligning yourself with the orange baby is not gonna be a viable strategy over here to get anything more than about 20% vote share.

  2. Imagine looking at ICE shooting innocent Americans dead in the street and thinking:
    a) we need that here
    b) I’m going tell everyone that’s what we want

  3. But ICE is terrible. Even for achieving it’s goals it’s just a terrible system.

    Why announce that you’re going to do something badly?

  4. Em didn’t we kinda already have an immigration enforcement department? Unless he just means making them more fascist…

  5. You have to be a special flavour of stupid to see the shit going on in America then vote for a party that wants to import all their worst policies.

    My wife is polish and is absolutely terrified already. I tell her it’s going to be ok but I don’t even know anymore the way the world is going. If you plan to vote for reform. Think carefully first.

  7. If it ever happened , they’d bankrupt the country with lawsuits from their feck ups and illegal acts ….not like they’re renowned for employing competent people

  8. Always parroting whatever crap his master Trump does. Farage, a shameless disgrace of foreign heritage.

    I don’t really have an issue with an Immigration force at all tbh.

    I want to know who’s in the country.

    It’s not that much of an ask 😂 

  10. MAGA won’t work in the UK. The courts, public and mainstream political parties do actually enforce at least minimum standards. It’s why political scandals and bad decisions still end careers and anything blatantly illegal is dealt with.

    If they tried even the mildest stuff Trump is doing, they’d be ran out of office the same day.

  11. I’m Canadian with ILR, married to a Brit with three British children. I’m so worried about this. I’ve been here almost my entire life. My mum never bothered to get citizenship sorted and I’ve never really been in a position to afford it.

    I think reform are going to collapse and restore will take their place. Reform greatly underestimate how much the UK don’t care about the US.

    Restore is hitting things more specifically what a lot of the silent majority in the UK are talking about in pubs.
