So today Farage said a Reform government will reduce the minimum wage for younger workers!

So why now will

* any young person
* anyone with young people among their friends and family
* anyone who cares about young people and our countries future

ever consider voting for Reform again?

Spot on.
“There are some people who hate London, and hate New York,” Mayor Sadiq Khan told me, on Bloomberg TV. “There's a reason why they demonize London, and now, indeed, New York. Why? Because we are progressive cities. We are liberal cities. We are multicultural cities. And we are incredibly successful.”

Labour pledge to increase minimum wage in line with inflation. That’s going to happen in April and hopefully every year Labour are in Government.

Reform thinks the Minimum Wage is too high.

It’s clear to anyone paying attention that Farage gets an easy ride from the media. They give him as much airtime as he wants but never hold him to account for the damage he’s done.

So much of what’s broken in Britain is thanks to Nigel Farage.

Nigel Farage says he wants to 'raise aspiration' by cutting the minimum wage for young people (currently £10), but reducing tax for young people earning over £100k. Presumably he wants them to just ask their stockbroker fathers to fix them up with a job in The City, like he did.

I hope the BBC will challenge Nigel Farage today over the economic damage caused by the Brexit he championed.

He needs to be held to account for the damage he's done instead of always being given an easy ride.
Journalists or callers of these radio shows this clown goes on needs to say to him "aside from immigration, what will coming out of the ECHR do to benefit us? Can you make assurances that our rights and our workers rights wont be tampered with, especially if there arent enough people here to work?"

Farage says leaving the ECHR is the “unfinished business" of Brexit and that the UK is "not sovereign” while we are in it.

But Farage lies. And Brexit is a shitshow. So, “finishing” it should fill us all with dread.

Sovereignty without rights is dictatorship.

To be fair, they’re losing MPs at a much faster rate.
One in twenty Reform councillors elected in May 2025 has left by the Autumn
- half expelled/suspended
- a quarter resigned from council
- some defected

An "unusual rate" of attrition in 6 months, says Tony Travers

There have been a few cases now of Reform members and this case an actual councillor quitting over their extremist position about ending ILR. As an aside both the Grauniad and Sky mention his concerns over ILR but the BBC report doesn’t…
