You mean that in the nearly six months that Reform’s DOGE has existed they haven’t achieved anything beyond issuing multiple angry and confused press releases about things they had now real clue about?

I am shocked - who would have expected something attached to Farage wouldn’t deliver?

Well worth a read about what happened in Caerphilly. Also worth noting the risks that the author ran by simply reporting on Reform.

Reeves considers adding 1p to basic rate or raising higher or additional tax rates.

There must be no tax rise for the bottom 50%.

Must tax dividends & capital gains at same rate as wages, restrict tax relief on pension contributions to basic rate only.

HMRC hasn't collected over £500bn since 2010
Reeves considers breaking manifesto pledge with income tax rise to fill £30bn gap

Govt reduces London’s affordable housing quotas.

Developers to get subsidies if they include 20% affordable housing instead of current 35% target.

Bigger profits for developers.
Yielding to developers won't solve homelessness and poverty crisis.

Let councils build affordable homes.

Rachel Reeves told the IMF the UK’s productivity challenge is compounded by Brexit.

Yet Labour refuses to discuss freedom of movement.

How long can they ignore the truth?

What is Labour’s game on Brexit?
For those who yearn for a return to the EU, Labour’s cowardly retreat into support for Brexit besmirches its principles. So is the party coming to its senses at last?

People keep asking why I still make these videos every day at the age of 67. The truth is simple: our economy is still deeply unfair. This is why I keep going: because another world is possible.

London developers to build fewer affordable homes, but get higher subsidies to build them.

Why build unaffordable homes?

Why subsidies for highly profitable companies? Subsidies will be swallowed by companies, won't filter down to people.

Let councils build affordable homes.

For Israel Aid has always been transactional, a tool, a weapon - this headline makes it clear. For the want of a handful of dead bodies (and it was made clear yesterday by the Red Cross how hard such returns are) Israel reflexively halves aid - to millions of starving people.

…No wonder the establishment (the real one, not the pretend one Reform evoke when it suits them) are cacking their pants. This is what an actual grassroots movement looks like.

Extraordinary. The Greens are ahead of Labour in polls. Without @zackpolanski.bsky.social being given hours of airtime per week on a propaganda channel. Without the Daily Mail repeatedly calling for him to be the next PM. Without backing from the world’s richest men & the platforms they own….
They call this a “peace deal.” We call it a cover-up for crimes no ceasefire can erase. The EU must act now: suspend the trade deal with Israel, stop arms exports, and sanction those responsible. I signed - you can too. ✍️ action.wemove.eu/sign/2025-05...

Millions of Italians are already shouting “No more complicity!”
But as long as Meloni thinks this is just an Italian issue, she feels safe.

That’s why we need all of Europe to speak up.

🇪🇺 Europe’s silence is letting Israel get away with murder

The bombs may have stopped, but Israel’s siege on Gaza goes on.

It still traps families, blocks aid, and crushes basic human rights - and Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is helping make it possible.
