If Britain is broken, key figures now in Reform helped break it. A Labour government would ordinarily be exploiting the vandalism of hard Brexit which Farage supported and still does but it can’t because, thanks to its 2024 manifesto pledge, it too is now wedded to this folly.

UK budget freeze on income tax thresholds
Over the next 5 yrs, 780,000 more people, the poorest, will pay income tax for the first time.
Someone earning £50,000 will pay £9,512 in tax, an increase of £1,247 because thresholds are frozen.
Can't grow economy by hitting low/middle income earners.

Incredible amateurishness
Reform UK Party Ltd spent £700,000 on a 2-page spread — one page being just an image of Farage and the other a letter, meaning he spent £350,000 on pictures of himself.
The average UK house price is £272,000.
Also, the ‘full English’ is badly photoshopped on — it's tiny!
