A future Reform government is looking more and more likely

The Tories ruined the country to such an extent that they are potentially finished, forever.

Labour, in the last year, have hit new depths of incompetence and stupidity.

Taxes are higher than ever and businesses are being destroyed under the weight of NI increases

Gilt yields higher now than under Truss

National debt at unprecedented levels and debt interested out of control

Food inflation nearing 10%

Top rate taxpayers leaving the country in their tens of thousands, a complete disaster given that the top 1% pay nearly a third of all tax

Welfare out of control with 1000 people a day going onto disability benefits

Illegal migration even worse than under the Tories

And the latest from Labour…..a deal with France to bring over migrants into the UK. Cue the outrage and noise about but yeah, they’re coming over anyway, it’s one in one out, it’s family connection only (like anyone is going to test DNA to prove family connections) yada yada yada. It’s not the point. The country does not need more pull factors. This is going to be a huge one. It’s practically going to turn illegal migration into legal, the idea being to massage the numbers.

Reform are being handed power on a plate by this shower. They couldn’t ask for a better campaigning outfit than this Labour government.

To be fair, there would probably be fewer people on disability benefits if the Tories hadn't of slashed the NHS and mental health support since 2010.

I can see why you think it might be, but I honestly don't think it will happen. Reform are going to self destruct before the next election. They say what (lots of) people want to hear and I can seen why they've become popular, but they're so incompetent. They can't even vet their few MPs properly, they're even more a out egos and infighting than the other parties and they can't even explain their own policies.

And, personally, I think Labour seem to be doing badly because that's what some people, especially the press, want to believe, but they're actually getting a lot right. Hopefully people will start feeling the benefit of that before the next election.

How do you or anyone think any of those things will improve by voting for Reform?
