Farage is incapable of thinking in terms of a positive outcome for this country. He’s just a wrecker, and I think he enjoys it. Sane people in this country have been made to suffer his vile presence for too long, now he’s back to attacking EU people again.

Pharage/Reform suggest these alleged comments/behaviour from 40+ years has no public interest. But, his politics aligns with his alleged views from then. It's all division and blaming everything on "foreigners".
It always has been.
He's a deeply unpleasant man.

Here are some facts about the asylum plans that I've found in various sources (mainly the Guardian).
Rather than being negative about it all, identify the parts you don't like & discuss alternatives.
There are many things people have said they want to see & others which are being misreported.

This is the clip the Chancellor put out after her press conference.
It is therefore obvious this was the key message she wanted people to take away.
Where in this message do we get the idea of income tax rises?

Here is a short message the Chancellor wants you to take away from her speech today, rather than the nonsense put out by the media.
"A budget that protects the NHS, reduces our debt and improves the cost of living.
A budget that puts your priorities first.
An economy that works for everyone."

Nigel Farage says the NHS should be replaced with an insurance-based system like they have in the USA, which would mean crippling medical bills for Brits.

There was absolutely NOTHING in the Chancellors press conference to suggest income tax was going up.
That was the media.
Again.
Going into it believing it was going up a coming out of it repeating the claim.
I never thought it was going up before & didn't think it after.

Are you still paying these journo shit-stirrers? Rachel Reeves got a better-than-expected OBR update, cutting the £20bn fiscal hole. Income tax hikes aren’t needed, strong receipts give £15–20bn headroom, while thresholds may fall and salary sacrifice taxes rise. Source: Bloomberg

Since then:
• 24% rise in enforced removals

New today: Labour have cut waiting lists by 16,000 this month – meaning faster care and less worry for patients.
The past year is the first time in 15 years that waiting lists have fallen.
There's a way to go, but Labour are getting our NHS on the road to recovery.

There was a time when everyone actually waited to see what was in it before shouting ‘U turn’ or making financial decisions. ‘Pitch-rolling’ has its disadvantages.

Starmer and Reeves have a 10 yr plan. I like their plan. I don’t expect it to materialise in 16 months. And I don’t expect it to be without its challenges. I also accept external factors will play a part. That’s why it’s a 10 year plan.

it is unacceptable for providers to profit excessively from vulnerable children.

Many thanks to JCB’s Lord Bamford for donating £200,000 to Reform. HMRC seem to think he owes them up to £500m from money hidden in offshore accounts, but why pay tax when you can give it to a bunch of racists instead?
