And yet, as in America, many women will vote for them. I don’t understand people sometimes ( well, a lot of the time actually).
It’s a sad reflection of how dumbing down has had its desired effect on the general population. People aren’t taught to think critically any more, and haven’t been for several decades now; emotional reaction is valued above objective analysis.
A kick in the balls to Farage … It seems Rachel in accounts calculator does work , meanwhile chaos continues in the reform run councils ….
As moehat says, it beggars belief that women will still vote for this shower.
More porkies from Farage:

Any mention of this on the “leftwing” BBC? Nah.
Man arrives at sovereign territory on small boat without necessary documents and is correctly denied entry.

Chris Mason is still working out how to spin it as bad news for Starmer.
It has been announced that Reform will spend £2 billion to set up an ICE type agency to deport 60,000 illegal immigrants with five flights leaving every day. To do this they will abandon International Law, whereupon we all lose our human rights, immigrants or otherwise. In addition, they will scrap the Equalities Act, whereby All non-whites and all women will become second class citizens. This means that it will be impossibly for a man to rape his wife as she will have to obey him. Based on the opinion polls, is this really what we want to vote for?
It’s what the severe right want , along with the return of the birch and the right to rob the poor…
This party gets weirder and creepier by the day.
I wonder if any of the people who are considering voting for Reform actually read their policies? No sane person could support such utter drivel, surely? 🤔
My ex has studied the Reform policies in depth and says he runs rings round everybody in the pub that supports them. Having said that I doubt if it changes their minds. Anyone staying up to watch the State of the Union address in America? They keep saying that many people throughout the world will be watching because Trump is ‘an entertainer’ and they want to be entertained! Do they really believe that? Mind you, if he falls asleep halfway through I guess I would find that entertaining. The question is will I find any of it coherent?
Are you a worker and/or a tenant?
You’re f***ed:

I’m not a masochist and endeavour to keep my blood pressure stable, so no I didn’t stay up to watch what was apparently the longest State of the Union speech in history at around two hours, though a two hour stream-of-unconsciousness ramble seems more like it, given the reports.
I daresay the News Channels will be reprising the ‘entertainment’ over and over again today, as it seems to be their remit to feed the desire for politics as showbiz by broadcasting just that. Next episode of the Wacky Wonderful World of Politics airs on Friday morning after the by-election, repeated hourly.
Chicken and Egg: the public gets what the public wants??
Brilliant article in the Grauniad today:
“If stopping Reform were the overriding aim, Labour would also deploy what research shows is the killer attack line against that party. A survey of 6,000 people by the group Persuasion UK found that by far the most effective message of five options was focused on corporate interests and went as follows: “Nigel Farage says he’s on people’s side – but when you take a closer look it’s pretty clear who he’s really fighting for, isn’t it? It’s the rich, the powerful, his mates in big business.” It explained that Reform UK has taken vast donations from fossil fuel investors and climate science deniers. This, Persuasion UK said, is why Farage wants to cut public services, workers’ rights and taxes for the richest. “He’s not smashing the system. He and his rich friends basically are the system.”
None of the other attack lines came anywhere near this for efficacy. So why doesn’t Labour use it? Because that might alienate the people Starmer seems keenest to appease: Labour’s own corporate backers and the billionaire proprietors of the rightwing press. The leadership’s key objective is not stopping Farage, but frightening people into voting Labour. Quite frankly, it has nothing else left.“
Could the biggest threat to Reform come from even further to the right?
