Reform UK neck and neck with Labour?

[NeatDog]

Absolutely shocked to read that in a poll Reform UK are neck and neck with Labour...

About 25% polling share for Reform and Labour.

I thought Blair was the worst PM ever, but Starmer seems to be giving him a run for his money.

always the same with the right, who incidentally have overseen a trebling in immigration, to start calling the left names... now we are all out of touch...

Too much Ket maybe?

I would say, that Reform UK is now the party of the working man/ woman.

Why is race being brought into it@NeatDog? You've mentioned white people being targeted and not very subtly hinted at it, yet not all Brits are white and not all immigrants are non-white.

To be fair, I think the Tories are out of touch as well.

Not women, Farage has shown his disdain for women - especially working mothers.

You may say that, but you are wrong.

Reform UK PLC will never be in government.

Eta: they are already falling put with each other

I disagree Tice and Farage wont save anyone, least of all the average working man or woman.

They have no policies.

Can you tell me what they would about x channel dinghies?

Not just the shark, more like jumped the Meg.

Good call.

Illegal immigrants don't expect taxpayer handouts (unless they are very clever fraudsters). Claiming benefits would bring them to the attention of the authorities, which, if they are illegal, they don't want.

Labour could have knocked the wind out of their sails months ago if they had enough confidence in themselves and the working class not to frame their concerns in the terms of the far right

Err they did, Reform 4 MPs Labour 402

So "Bad call"

Reform is not a political party it is a limited company

I don't think Reform UK PLC should be banned. There is no need. It will fall apart soon enough.

Just leaving ok what has happened in Sweden. Women are afraid to go out at night now.

Knife crime might be lower if we allowed guns.

That's a great idea.

Gun crime would be lower if I was allowed a tank

The tax payer is clearly giving them too much money if they can afford cigarettes and vaping.

@HappyPanda613
Are you going to answer my question as what test you think citizens should take before they are allowed to vote?

If they are receiving money from the taxpayer they are not illegal immigrants. Why do you not understand that?

Looking at all the deletions on this thread, it appears that free speech is indeed not a thing, at least on mnet.

My point has been made plenty of times.

@caringcarer how are illegal immigrants getting tax payer handouts? That's an oxymoron, surely? Illegal = under the radar.

Be annoyed about too many asylum seekers if you wish but the lazy trope about "illegal immigrants" is just plain ridiculous.

How can an entire country be racist?

No one could hate Reform more than I do; but why 'the working class in the north of England' in particular? That's making you sound a bit like Maggie Thatcher! I llve in what was the South East England constituency for the Europaean Parliament, when we were still in the EU. Not remotely Northern. Varied social composition, but on the whole fairly middle class. And we had 10 MEPs; and usually 4 of them were UKIP/ Brexit Party, including Farage himself. So why pick on the northern working class?

I was wondering the same thing
