Just for clarification, do I see Farage as a treacherous C... No
Do I see Boris as a treacherous C… No
Do I see Starmer as a treacherous C…. Yes, I like an ever growing group of millions of Brits can’t abide the C…
Do I venerate Farage as leader. Yes. I’ve certainly feel no need to distance myself from my party leader.
Hope that clears it all up.

Not sure of the policies yet, I put what was on the leaflet further up the thread, not very fulsome as yet but I’m sure as we get towards the next elections. Boasted Reform membership?. At least we’ve not got the hollow slogan of smashing the gangs, which is working well, isn’t it? Treachery to the British people. I’m pleased I’ve joined but not sure I’ve boasted, but if it comes across as that then so be it. You regularly spoke of being a Labour Party member yet when somebody else mentions a party membership they’re boasting..quality!
Well see tomorrow what millions of British voters think, I’d imagine there might be a few more “distancing themselves from Starmer”, don’t you?

It was a simple request, Mark.

Detail Reform policies on the Reform thread.

Yet here we are after two replies to the same post, several profanity peppered paragraphs (do you remember accusing me of lowering the tone when using the dictionary definition of 'bastard' which you didn't understand?), a number of obviously diversionary taunts, the by now inevitable mention of the 'two tier' trope - which of course perfectly describes your attitude towards lies and treachery, more desperate attempts to hide behind what you claim millions think...

..and not a single sentence telling us what your party would do with the NHS. Or those WASPI's you were previously so excited about. Or pensions. Or public spending, taxation, the care sector, social infrastructure or any other bread and butter issues effecting the working class people so often mentioned.

But hey, don't worry mate, you're not on your own.

There're several other Reform supporters on here who clearly find it impossible to comment without mentioning migrants, too...

I did understand the term, you really think I didn’t? it was about one of Boris’ children, a person born out of wedlock, which although is a correct but very dated term and would now be viewed as extremely offensive to both the parents and indeed child. I stand by my opinion that you used that in what I think is a deeply offensive way to describe a child.
I view Starmer as a C…, a repulsive, vile and obnoxious individual. I believe that’s a decent dictionary definition without checking.
I’m happy with my description of Starmer and I assume your happy with your view of Boris child.
And re the policies tbh I’m not totally sure what they are yet but then again what were Labours and I understand your continued attack on Reform and I don’t blame you, it really is all you’ve got at the moment, a deflection from your parties total and utter contempt of its working class roots, a deflection for their failure to smash the gangs, a deflection from their destruction of the economy and your defection from the Labour thread. You need somewhere to vent your political spleen so this thread is your new home.

Mate I’ve only given a cpl of small donations and my annual membership fee, hardly handing over my bank details, but he has yet to ask!
Anyway onto mindless slogans, or policies, I think they could be called by all parties nowadays.
The three on my latest Reform communication

Freeze immigration and stop the boats
Scrap net zero to cut energy bills
Reduce waste and cut your taxes..

Policies or soundbites? Either way they got me with those.

And if it is a cult it’s going to be a bloomin good night for us!

I suppose reform is ok if you are prepared for an insurance based health service.

Reform will never charge you to use the NHS.
Under a Reform government the NHS will always be free.

Seems you fell for more Labour lies.

The irony - after Labour won an election without really disclosing any policies - is not lost on me....

I recall a post were he said I’d lost credibility on the forum, the irony of that post now is not lost on me either.

Too close to call is the continued word on the street, in reality Reform getting within a thousand or so votes of Labour would be a brilliant effort and would shock the C… that is Starmer, but I’ll openly admit id be disappointed if Reform didn’t win Runcorn tonight.
Just to add I’ve just heard that Blair’s Labour didn’t lose a by election until he’d been in power for 6 years!

Just quoting the official Reform reposte.
May I ask if you’ve voted today, who for, and how are you hoping the night pans out?
Obviously no need to answer, it can be between you and the ballot box, but I’m just curious if you’d care to share.

Well so far Northumberland have been overwhelmingly in favour of reform - an area where all the MPs are labour.

Labour in third so far in Lincolnshire mayoral elections


A recount in Runcorn where labour had a huge 5!figure majority


Will labour learn the lesson that the nonsense identity politics that no one cares about and have been roundly rejected and instead focus on the real issues that impact the working class? I doubt it.


I doubt it. I’d expect rhetoric doubling down on the “far right” from Starmer


He stands for nothing and represents no one

The identity politics lunatics of the labour party, the Azuls of the party have handed local government control to the right


Well done: it’s going to take years and years to reverse this. I hope you lunatics are proud of yourselves

Yep in the same way those who cant afford private schools are treated the same. Does money buy better, of course it always will. But as I believe that we should encourage aspiration and not bring everyone down to the lowest common denominator, then there has to be some benefit to having money.

When you say the US spends 16% of GDP on health systems, do you include in that the personal contributions of those that can choose to pay more if they want, or just govt spending? If the former, maybe it answers your question. If the latter, well it perhaps outlines the issues in the US....

Does the UK measure just include spending on the NHS or all the amounts spent on private health insurance too, where we effectively pay twice?

Federal spending

Huge amounts of people voting Reform for the first time, Starmer won’t listen because he despises the ordinary working people who are turning away from Labour.
