Cannot handle Nigel Farage being PM

[Designless]

The goofy toad of toad hall-faced wanker

At least other countries have sexy right wing twats, why do we get him?

1.Please say his name as it is supposed to be said - farage like garage

1. Please don't vote for him he's one of Those Guys - smug, sweaty faced supercilious thickies

1. All his policies are gash

I used to be horrified at the prospect of a Reform government and to be fair, I still am. However, part of me is slightly looking forward to what a total car crash their going to be in power, and looking forward to their tantrums when subjected to even the smallest amount of scrutiny and accountability.

That said, the impending shambles is going to have a very negative impact on a lot of people, some of whom will deserve it (those who voted for them) and others who are innocent victims of their brainless “solutions” to complex problems.

Agreed - either will be better than this horror show of a government.

What an unmitigated disaster they have been.

Welfare socialism does not work.

I think Labour, considering the demands on budgets, are doing ok, not good but better than the last few years of the previous Govt.

Even growth is better than the previous 18months leading into the GE.......we've avoided a Sunak Recession, Tories like to forget about the 6months of negative growth he gave us in 2023..... wonder why?

Tories also don't say how they would pay for things like Defence, SENDs, PO & Blood scandals, fix roads.... fund MH provision, all they do is snipe, nothing constructive to add.....

Inflation down at 3%, BoE rates lowest for many years, that will be helping anyone with mortgage.

I know some say jobs market "decimated" but thats rubbish, an employment rate of 5.2% is about average and its just 0.6% higher than when they took over & it was on upward trend before July 2024.

Unemployment went to 8% within 3 years of the Tories taking over last time they got in..... oh wait, do i hear "that was Labours fault...."😂

UK companies, heavily represented in the FTSE All Share is at record highs, so despite the ENI increases, generally, companies are doing well.

1.Please say his name as it is supposed to be said - farage like garage

I voted yabu because because garage has a few different pronunciations
Ga-rar-j
G-rar-sh
Ga-ridge

So you cannot dispute any of what i ve posted......

All you do is criticise, snipe and chuck out baseless insults, as i said.

Ill be voting either reform or Restore - whichever one has the highest chance of getting in come election time. Time to stop the nonsense.

I get why people want change, Labour or the Tories have hardly covered themselves in glory.

I just don't get how Reform, with ex Tories in many of the positions of potential power, are the answer.

Jenrick, Braverman etc etc etc have all heavily been involved in the "nonsense" you to stop, they haven't changed.

Mumsnet certainly has an increase of bonkers threads at the moment. The term suicidal empathy comes to mind.

Hopefully, they will split the right-wing racist vote and neither of them will get in.

Nothing racist about wanting to control your borders.

Nothing racist about wanting British born people to be prioritised when it comes to social housing

Nothing racist about thinking the benefits system should be for British born people only

Nothing racist about expecting foreign nationals to learn the language of the country they have chosen to live in

Nothing racist about wanting the justice system to treat everyone the same regardless of their colour, culture or religion

What exactly IS racist about Reform?

Oh, I had a feeling about that new poster.

New poster, old poster! hence the deletion...

I Googled them and they don't look like a good prospect at all!

So you think its not racist that a British born citizen, who is married to a foreign born person, or a foreign born couple, with children born here, hence UK citizens, should be denied Social housing? any form of benefits?

People coming here already have to pass English tests and the law is required to treat everyone equally, though how you get rid of bias in all sectors of society is another matter.

Reform have promised to get rid of the Equalities Act, so treating people of different colour or sex etc would become legal.

Nothing racist about thinking the benefits system should be for British born people only

This policy is utterly stupid, probably written on the back of one of Farage's fag packets like the rest of Reform's policies. It is also xenophobic and racist.

Farage is an odious human being and his sad little "shadow cabinet" is full of odious human beings.

Here is Restore's blessed leader with his pound shop Farage act:

Nothing racist about thinking the benefits system should be for British born people only

So if your mother is careless enough to go into premature labour so that you are born in another country, you're stuffed for any benefits, pension etc?

Ditto if you're naturalised British - you can pay tax into the British system for decades, but fall on hard times and you can starve?

How is that remotely sensible, let alone fair?

Fat chance! Most of them are Brexit and/or ex Tory voters. They shoulder a huge amount of the responsibility for the mess we're currently in and accept zero responsibility. They're literally trying to make it worse. They are incapable of critical thinking, if they were they, they would see past Farage and his grift.

Thanks- depressing read!

Equally, they will split the racist Labour vote. Oh wait..even die hard lefties surely wouldn't be stupid enough to vote them back in 🤔

Critical thinking, that phrase again. Same old same old.

Looks like another u-turn is on the way….

Ministers are considering scrapping Labour’s pledge to pay adults of all ages the same minimum wage after youth unemployment rose to an 11-year high.

At least 16.1 per cent of 16 to 24-year-olds have been unable to find a job, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS) and youth unemployment is now higher in Britain than the eurozone.

Ministers are now considering abandoning the policy after business groups told them it is “pricing a generation of young people out of the workplace”, according to The Times.

Three Government sources told the newspaper that ministers feared pushing ahead with the proposals would further push up youth unemployment.

I’m a civil servant and honestly it makes me feel sick thinking what a Reform government would look like, for me personally how it’ll impact my work and thus my life, as well as for the country as a whole. I will vote Tory if I need to, I suspect Reform will do well in my town 🙄

If people coming here have to pass English tests, why do we pay millions each year in translation services?
