What I would like to ask Reform supporters what are the specific Reform policies they support?

They do indeed know what a woman is - they will push them all back to the kitchen, remove work rights that make it harder for women to continue working, encourage (white) women to breed, consider restricting abortion.

If this is what you want then fill your boots - but don’t expect every woman to look forward to all this just as you think there’ll be more guarantee of avoiding a trans person in the bog.

So you think more people using crappio money, famed for being used for illegal things, will grow the economy and benefit everyone ?

How exactly will it do this ? Over normal Fiat currency that is.

I know very little about it. But you must if you say it will work. Can you give an example that is easy to understand ?

The Greens are hypocrites. At our local election on May 7th DH was put canvassing and saw Greens out several times as obviously canvassing in same constituency. He noticed not one of them had an electric car.

The bit about making Scotland the most successful part of the UK is bottom right page 1 I think.

So you are happy for Scotland to be more successful under Reform then England, for example.

Wow.

But surely what they plan to do in Scotland should be done in the rest of the UK too ?

"And another thing I like about Reform UK. They know tell me a women does not have a penis because they know it's what I want to hear and will tell me anything to get me to vote them into power"

Fixed it for you.

And another thing I like about Reform UK. They know a women does not have a penis and understand women don't want men hanging around in ladies toilets unlike AB who thinks most women don't mind.

I'd be very, very careful about aligning yourself with Kruger and/or Jenrick around anyone with a brain and a functioning moral compass.

Kruger - well known for his strong pro-life views and his comment that women can’t always have bodily autonomy.

Also hopes to reverse the sexual revolution and reinstate traditional family structure - white families.

Jenrick - well known for removing pictures from a children’s asylum centre - oh and for being dumb enough to leave his resignation letter on the copier.

I couldn’t particularly care how happy they are tbh - but I do care they don’t get near power and influence.

Obviously, there is a lot more room for their opinions to be shared whilst outside government - and that’s certainly for the good so as I know not to vote for them.

@RedTagAlan , I’ve had a little look at the specific Scottish site for Reform and it sounds amazing for the Scottish people but I can’t find anywhere that it says Reform will make Scotland the most successful part of the UK. 🤷🏼‍♀️
If we’re all doing really well no one will need fear that someone is doing better and if Scotland is doing better than the rest of the UK I guess we could just reverse the Barnett formula. 😜
If anyone is interested here is the link to the Scottish Reform site. :-
https://reformuk.scot/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Reform-UK-Scotland-Manifesto-2026.pdf

That is not everything in the Reform UK manifesto. But yes I do agree and I think it will work because it incentivise businesses and individuals to work to grow our economy.

What I quoted was in the link you posted. From the PDFs on there.

I don't understand anything on the Crappytoe money pdf at all. All looks a bit shady to me. And a reform government are going to set up a wealth fund based on it. No doubt to pay people off ? Such as Trump with his Liberty money that is now worthless.

Anyhow, you made a bold statement that you agreed with everything in the Reform manifesto. Very bold. I have never seen a manifesto that I agree 100% with.

Do you still stand by that statement ?

@RedTagAlan , I agree with all the policies on the link I posted. I did not post a link to the policy you quoted and I can only tell you how it reads to me. In my opinion all of the policies on the link I posted are self explanatory but I’m sure I could help if there are any among them which you are struggling to understand. ☺️
I haven’t seen the policies particular to Scotland you have mentioned, they don’t appear on the website I’ve seen. Reform are very pro business which should benefit all of the United Kingdom.

Just because something would be extremely difficult to reform - as we all know the tax system would indeed be - it doesn’t mean you can’t call it out.
In my view that’s what is increasingly wrong with politics. Too many slavishly follow the party line, whips enforcing such, with no one prepared to stop and question. Too many on that gravy train.
Look at Kruger and Jenrick - freed from that tyranny, they’re more proactive through being allowed to have an opinion. And happier too, it appears.

You did say, quote "your question prompted me to take a look at what the Reform UK’s policy’s are and having read them I agree with every single one. Here they are:-"

So you agree with every single one of them, but can't explain them ?

Because also in the Reform Scotland pages, we get this on page 1:

"SCOTLAND’S FUTURE

Reform UK will make Scotland the most successful part of the UK"

Do you agree with this if you are not living in Scotland. Because if so, that means you are happy for Reform to make Scotland better than England, Wales and NI. Personally, I don't see how they can do that if Scotland is "repaying".

@RedTagAlan , I’m not a Reform UK spokesperson so I can only tell you how I read that which is:-
Reform will reduce the tax burden on Scottish people which will boost the Scottish economy and in turn produce a bigger tax take. More money in the Scottish coffers will be good news for everyone as more money going to the treasury in general will be. I think when they say ‘repay’ they mean it as that is how the Scottish people will respond.
I suggest if it is of a concern to you that you email them and ask for clarification.

My posts above about tax that I think you reference. I know next to nowt about tax.

But it appears you know about immigration. I have a friend going through this just now, legal immigration for their non EU spouse. It is not easy, nor is it cheap.

Much of that is down to May. She went for the low hanging fruit and went for the spouse rules. Putting return to the UK well out of reach for many.

Back to the tax. I see words that say if we do this, that will happen. But I don't see what the mechanism is. Because if it was as simple and automatic as Reform claim, then why has this or former governments not done it ?

Many people would like a simplified tax system, however, a year or so ago, a tax expert pointed out why Govts say they'd like to do this but never do....

.... because it takes too much time, years.. by which time, the next GE comes along and potentially a new party gets the credit.

Low taxation without growth and/or public sector cuts, always is a disaster.

Lowe is offering nothing that is "common sense"

Ok - tax has been questioned- I probably know most about immigration.

No dependents on student visas - you like Labour policy then - rules are a dependent can only be considered if you are doing a PhD.

Immigrants pay between around £775- £1000 per year currently to access our NHS - until they get ILR, which is looking to now take longer so for a very long time. Illegals immigrants can only access angel care, and no other services from the NHS.

All visas have a ‘No Recourse to Public Funds’ condition- this would continue until they had ILR, see above. They can apply to have this lifted if they can prove they are destitute.

The child benefit applies as above to the child here on a visa, however they could well have a British citizen child, who is entitled to child benefit - or are we distinguishing even further on what counts as British.

Immigrants arriving on boats - only way to claim asylum is basically to enter by a covert manner and claim at port. Once they have claimed they are not illegal. Some of asylum seekers rights are enshrined in U.K. case law as well as international UNHCR. Leaving the ECHR won’t change the laws around asylum claimants, although it will remove an awful lot of rights from everyone, and personally I wouldn’t rely on a Reform Bill of Rights.

You can’t just send migrants ‘back across the channel’ - they aren’t French citizens and France won’t take them - lots of laws around this, not just ECHR.

Leaving the ECHR will throw the Good Friday Agreement into chaos - how will that be resolved?

Immigrants are refused on the basis of criminality attracting certain sentences - there is more freely available information on gov.uk as to how that works.

Not really sure what ‘reporting immigrants for crimes’ even means - it sounds like 1930s Germany to me tbh.

So, as you can see Reform will be either changing nothing, alongside causing a lot of disruption to everyone in a variety of ways. So what is preferable in these policies delivered by Reform?

Tbh it just sounds like populist drivel with a side dish of dog whistle to me.

I have a question. From the Scotland page of that Reform Manifesto you posted, quote:

"By reforming and reducing the SNP’s onerous tax regime, Reform will ensure that aspiration and success are never again punished in Scotland. Every 1% of economic growth delivers £8bn of cumulative additional tax revenues over 10 years. By reducing the tax burden on hard-working Scots, they will repay us all by generating higher tax revenues"

What does that bolded part mean ?

Who do folk in Scotland need to repay ?

And when it says repay, does that mean tax revenue will be taken away from Scotland to repay " us all". whoever that is. And why does it appear reform think Scottish taxpayers owe them ?

That sounds awful like some sort of colonial era thing really.

I know little about tax. I am just a layperson on such things.

Your first paragraph, quote :

"On small to medium businesses having a £100k corporation tax free amount to kickstart these businesses and encourage them to grow and employ more staff.
Scrap vat for businesses under £150k. This would be less paper work for the smaller business and consumers would save too."

I looked up what tax is now. It's 19% on profits up to 50k, then between 50 to 250k it increases to 25%.

That is all on profits. So no profit means no corporation tax.

So how does doing away with this tax encourage more employment ? Surely the reverse is the case, certainly with a small business.

Because tax is only on profit. So a small company could employ people to increase turnover, and with the money going on staff profit can be kept down.

As I said, just a layperson. But I recall something, as an example, that for big companies, higher tax increases their R&D spend, Because they would rather spend on that than pay tax.

Does similar not apply to small business ? That if they make 100k profit say, they reduce their tax by investment in machines or people ?

And that spend goes into the economy. But if you lower tax, does that not potentially remove money from the economy ?

Genuine question. I just don't see how that tax change gives the result you claim.

On small to medium businesses having a £100k corporation tax free amount to kickstart these businesses and encourage them to grow and employ more staff.
Scrap vat for businesses under £150k. This would be less paper work for the smaller business and consumers would save too.
Raise personal tax thresholds to encourage work. If people keep more of their earnings they work more and less likely to go on benefits.
On health keep NHS free at point of delivery but contract out some bits to private providers to cut waiting lists. Make immigrants here legally pay more to access NHS or allow them to get private health insurance and not use NHS.
Get rid of very high paid EDI czars in NHS and use money to get more nurses.

Stop any overseas students bringing in any dependent.
Do not allow any migrants here legally or otherwise to claim any benefits of or 5 years including child benefit. A recent government study found low paid migrants stay longer and claim more benefits.
Any illegal immigrants arriving on a boat send straight back across the channel.
Get out of ECHR to allow that to happen and to stop Brussels dictating who we have in UK. Transfer the bits we want into a UK bill of rights protecting the rights we want to keep.
Never accept any immigrants with criminal records especially sexual crimes. We have enough criminals in UK already without accepting more. If an immigrant commits a crime serious enough for prison report them.

Keep the triple lock. A recent survey found 2/3 of adults in UK want it to stay.

Scrap inheritance tax above 2 million.
Reverse tax against farmers.
Allow all landlords to claim interest back on mortgage rates do they don't need to pass on higher rent to tenant. At the moment on incorporated landlords can claim I retest back. Reverse 2 percent additional tax on landlords.
Scrap net zero and open up drilling for oil and gas. Get rid of ULEZ type schemes because people just do more miles driving around them so more pollution.

@CurlewKate , thank you; your question prompted me to take a look at what the Reform UK’s policy’s are and having read them I agree with every single one. Here they are:-
https://www.reformparty.uk/policies#policies-section
Is there anything in there that you disagree with?

And thank you. That was reasonable and not rude.

Thanks - I will do me.

I wasn’t actually presenting my political leaning for debate - I was debating yours - and Restore is so completely dire in terms of values that there is no reasonable ground left to debate upon and they need to be pointed out each and every time he is mentioned.

To progress debate on Restore then it’s these questions on values, particularly the extreme ethno nationalism, that need to be answered first.

Oh yeah - I’m good with it splitting the vote tbh - scary to know who walks amongst us though too - bit of dissonance in my head ha!
