What will life be like under Reform?

[Easipeelerie]

I have accepted the likelihood of the next government being Reform. I don’t think the government after that will necessarily be Reform. But in the 4 Reform years, what do people think life will be like for the different groups in our country? Will we see very immediate changes?

It’s not at all hysterical, Farage/Reform’s connections with Russia are well documented. I see so many right wing accounts echoing Russia propaganda, including Farage himself.
Bearing in mind that Russia openly talks about destroying the UK…..
In 2014, Farage and Nathan Gill, who who has been convicted of taking Russian bribes, made speeches parroting several of the same Russian propaganda lies.
Could this have just been a coincidence? I don't think so. It looks coordinated. Either Farage was feeding Nathan Gill with his talking points, or Russia was providing its talking points to both of them.
They both called Ukraine "The Ukraine," a term which refers back to the old Slavic word for borderland, which Russia uses to deny Ukraine's nationhood.
They both used the expression "poking the Russian bear."
They both parroted Russian lies about NATO and EU expansion.
They both repeated the Russian claim that the real threat was Muslim extremism, a claim that Putin had very effectively used to distract Western leaders from Russian aggression and its hybrid war against the West.

Farage has talked of admiring Putin, echoed Russian propaganda, appeared on Russian state TV numerous times and was even offered a show there. Yet he is not transparent and then lies and covers up his connections- why are you so keen to downplay any connection? Do you not feel it should be investigated, if not why not? Doesn’t it concern you? Are you from the UK?
Here's Nigel with Voloshyn’s wife who bribed Nathan Gill for Russia.

Is this an article about time team now ?

Nathan Gill plead guilty less than a week ago. Farage should be investigated too.

In March 2022, on GB News, Nigel Farage was complaining about the government sanctioning Russian oligarchs.
Strange that 🤔

An interesting read today. @Cattenbergand @Circularmadness

I saw Carole Cadwalladr this week was calling for a proper investigation following Rachel Reeves claiming that Farage was ‘in bed’ with Putin in her conference speech.

It absolutely must happen!!

Im not a fan of the changes Labour is making to the NHS but they are radically changing the approach with a fierce focus on value for money. I spent 20 years in the NHS and this felt very different.

"Gill was stopped by police on 13 September, 2021 "

"Detectives identified eight such instances between January 2018 and February 2020."

"Gill was interviewed under caution in March 2022 but made no comment to the questions put to him"

Yes but the case has just gone through. What exactly is your point?

You dig for things on Farage to complain about and think it makes him, what ? Russian ?

Unbearable.

Expensive and our relationship with Europe would be shot (again).

Absolutely! 🙏🏼

I think he’s a corrupt traitor. His finances and Russian links should be investigated, yes. You seem rather keen to not look there.

He’s not declaring his income.

Why is he not been declaring his private security on his Register of Interests? There is no declaration of a gift or donation of private security.

The Telegraph published an article that it costs one million per year for this security, and yet nothing has been declared.
MPs have 28 days in which to register any financial donations on their Parliamentary register, but Farage's last entry to the Register was actually back in May.

So we're being led to believe that the man, who earns a million pounds a year from his outside work, just stopped earning in May?
Why won’t he publish his finances?

Nathan Gill took bribes to traitorously push Russian propaganda and didn’t declare the income.
Farage pushed the same Russian propaganda and shock horror there was also no income declared.

Also he won’t reveal who funded his recent trip to America. But whilst he was there he urged the US to use “diplomacy and trade” against the Uk because of the Conservative’s Online Safety Act 2023. The act requires social media platforms to protect users, particularly children, from harmful content such as misinformation, hate speech, and material promoting self-harm or violence. Hypocritical as Farage and his Reform UK party have restricted press access and sought to limit critical coverage. He banned critical press from from attending or reporting on its party conference in September 2024. Reform-controlled councils have also barred local reporters, such as those from a Nottingham paper, leading to legal challenges over press freedom. It’s not about free speech at all.

Regardless, Farage is shady and his finances need looking at.

I’d rather a PM that has ties with Russia than the current one who has ties with Israel.

You think Nigel Farage, Mr Polite, will make people have better manners?
Did you see the way he conducted himself as an MEP?
Even if you disagree with an organisation you are part of, there are classy and shitty ways to comport yourself.
He is the epitome of the modern epidemic of boorishness and incivility.

The big problem we have is that there are currently 6.5 million people on out of work benefits. If they could find a way to work the whole country would be more prosperous.

Yeah well with Reform you get both! So much for Britain first!!
At Reform’s conference in Birmingham, the Israeli state’s deputy ambassador Daniela Grudsky said “we have friends here”. Staff confirmed a “Reform Friends of Israel” group is being set up, aiming for a trip by the end of the year.
On September 5th, the Jewish Chronicle quoted Richard Tice telling British Jews to vote Reform because they stand with the Israeli state “rock solidly”. He also pledged to visit later this month.

I'll let my husband know. Two strokes and military service injuries have put a stop to his working life at 58, my apologies. I'll keep juggling my caring for him and my paid job. That 6.5m figure you're citing is the economically inactive figure that includes severely sick and disabled people who cannot work. And before you say you don't mean people with "real problems" remember that figure lumps everyone together

Yeah why not....I mean one war criminal vs another. Its all good isn't it...? I actually deal with Ukrainian refugees in my job. I've seen what damage has been done. Don't get me started.

I don’t really know much about Reform other than that they seem full of hatred for people, so it will be survival of the fittest.

In that case you need to stop believing everything BBC "Verify" and The Guardian tell you, (and thinking MN is open minded). Search out real information - about ALL parties - and then decide based on facts and things which you agree with, disagree with and which will affect you. Also bear in mind that currently the next GE is about 4 years away, all parties will change in the meantime.

Why are you making assumptions about my news sources from my post?

I don’t know much about Reform because all I ever see them talk about is anti immigration and “stop the boats” and none of that is high on my agenda when I choose who to vote for.

Ok - if only that were true it would be a good point.

Immigration might not affect you, but it certainly affects a huge number of people so it's hardly surprising it's talked about - even Tier Stamer talks about it.

If Reform gets in we will have one who has both! At least, I can't see Farage been especially supportive of Palestine.
