What's your favourite reform policy?

[BobbieTables]

My favourite three are:

1. Using public money to subsidize private health care, I really like this one because it will mean that I, a high earner who already gets private health care, will save at least 20% on my care and I don't really care if it means that there's less for others who need the NHS.
2. Banning working from home. I hate how empty the office has become and I'm bored there now, there's no one to talk to. And I think wfh people are lazy.
3. Taxing women who don't have children. The WHOLE PURPOSE of being a woman is to have kids! Not doing it is selfish.

What are your favourites?

It's the boots for me

But that’s exactly the same for some staff in the public sector. So if it doesn’t make sense for the private sector, how does it make sense for the public sector?

It’s got to be repealing the Human Rights Act surely. What could possibly go wrong?

I don't think it's possible to be goady about Reform. They are unconscionable arseholes.

Public sector workers are employees of the State, so the State can tell them to work from an office as part of their contract.
Private sector workers are employees of private companies who get to decide whether they wish their workers to work from home or the office.
It's that simple.

Is this a wind up

Public sector worker here. There are now far too many staff to fit in the office, so we would have to be on a rota - which is what we are doing anyway. This no wfh thing is so easy to say but impossible to implement.

I work for a reform run council and we are in a similar position. We have to work on a rota as there isn't enough space in the offices we have.

Nigel is paid by the state to be an MP. Where is he working from?

Don’t worry, one of my local Reform council leaders is going to save ‘billions’ on his council budget. (Of £600 million).
Expect massive staff cuts if that is the case. No working from home, no job.

As a history enthusiast, I've always wondered what it was really like to live in 1930s Germany. Now it looks like I'll get to find out for myself! Thanks Farage! 😁😁😁

If people vote for this knowing what they will get, they are rather stupid. If they vote Reform not knowing what they will get they are rather stupid…..

So looking forward to a return to family values where women know their place and drop a kid every year.

Welcome to Gilead.

Did they make you come back to office? And have they changed any of your policies like sick leave? Just found myself in this exact situation after yesterday.

Nothing changed. We still have the same rota to come in on certain days, same access to touch down bases etc. we just don't have the capacity for everyone to be back in the office. My role is customer facing so I do spend a portion of my time on service user visits.

The only thing reform have done is spent £££ on flags, and scrapped the selling of the decrepit County hall.

We are still heavily unionised and work under LG policies. No changes to sick pay yet.

Thank goodness for that. I hope they are as incompetent as their track record and things stay the same.

I'm think you're on a wind up

@FinallyGotToo

Either we work at exactly the same LA or (shock) this has happened at multiple different authorities.

Waiting with baited breath for a Reform policy which proves that voters haven’t absolutely the bed 👍

It doesn’t. It’s just culture war posturing.

Reform plan to scrap the Equality Act so we won't be protected at work for being pregnant or on maternity leave...not that there will be much paid maternity leave under Reform.

The scary thing is that we imagined it to be a few psychopaths who got into power…

Now we have an answer to ‘but why didn’t people DO something?’. Probably because a large swathe of the had been whipped into a frenzy. Do the Auschwitz tour where they talk about so much of the holocaust being based on money.

It's frightening- imagine people today still voting for a political party that hates capitalism, wants to nationalise major industries, authoritarian- (wanting to exclude those with opposing political views from society), blames the millionaires, billionaires and the Jews for the country's problems and lastly led by a leader who's a vegetarian.

I’m not a Reform voter and thankfully live in an area that agrees with me. But I understand lots of people disagree with me. Policies aside, I really struggle to understand how anybody (supporters too) actually think that Farage or the other one, would be a good PM.

This

I had one of my threads hidden until they could have a look at it. I was simply asking why they're wasn't more reporting of Farage's £5 million pound "gift". Something very fishy going on with Mumsnet.

Oh come on OP.

• Supporting Brexit and liking the idea of your children having freedom of movement by holding German passports.
• Accepting huge donations from people who do not live in the UK.
• Having a multi millionaire leader who has never had a proper job.
