Reform plan to cut public spending to 35% of GDP. This would mean £274 billion of cuts, which is equivalent to the NHS, defence, police and criminal justice budgets combined.

This would make the gimpess Liz Truss's budget look good. Farage has insisted they would end the NHS, wanting an expensive Health insurance system. Welfare would be cut to the very bone, plunging millions into absolute poverty. A return to the 19th Century with malnutrition and disease rife. Tice is appearing to suggest that those that cannot swim must sink.

This isn't Reform--it's deform. I hope to God they don't get anywhere near Downing Street. Regards. Larry.

They're probably hoping that people will vote for them without considering if their proposed policies hold water.

Scaling down the NHS is a well known method for political suicide; it has served us well for 77 years. But Farage knows this - and is likely to have a more acceptable alternative, for voters!

The NHS does need sorting out but no one has a clue to do it. If you are a kid with private education you are refused treatment.

And they are correct to do so.

It is more than even the policies holding water. The majority of Trump voters are - without intention and believing the opposite - voting against their own interests.

As did most Brexit voters here. As will happen with Reform.

The dumming down and current tractability of the human race is frightening...

Wan Keir, Lib Tards, Cons, Deform. Not much of a choice is there?

I have been watching Ancient Aliens on YT, I do wonder if they stopped visiting Earth because the human race is a pathetic species, and we don't have a real leader. I am sure Wyot, is the new Philip Klass in the making.

Well I don't need a leader - and enjoy living in the UK. It's a long list - but education, the arts, sport, nature, friends and entertainment rate highly with me.

There's magnificent places in the British Isles - from Giants Causeway, to Skye, Dingle and Edinburgh. And London, the world's finest city.

Best for me is - getting out early in the morning, and hopefully achieving the business goals for the day.

As well as planning ahead. Moan only in downtrodden areas and war zones; finding fault in everything just wastes lives.

Reform, like Trump, is populist, aiming to win support by appealing to peoples’ gut prejudices rather than offering detailed policies. It’s a case of people with prejudices believing that their feelings are truth. The likes of Trump and Farage know how to exploit this.

More reasons why a left leaning party led by Corbyn is needed.
