Is he also going to abandon any pretence that he’s a democrat?

If you’re not anti immigration, this was really the only other major reason you’d back reform. I’d never vote for Reform in a million years but as a higher earner I can’t deny I would have (theoretically) been very well off under their original (uncosted) plans. Reform may still win the ex mining towns + coastal towns with single issue immigration politics alone, but Tories could have an opportunity here to win back the blue wall (with the right leader and policies) because frankly no one is even trying to be low tax right now.

I mean, Reform hasn’t had a manifesto for years because they said that if they announce what their policies are, people can state for fact how and why they won’t work.
So instead they just invented something new they call a ‘Contract with you’ and literally don’t bother with a manifesto.
I’ve read their ‘contract to you’. They just involves sentences like ‘We believe Criminals should be punished’ and ‘We believe illegal immigration should be reduced’ – with absolutely no reference to how they’ll achieve any of this stuff at all, what their targets even are, or anything.
IMO Farage has got this one right. Reform supports generally won’t have the patience or interest in learning actually what Nigel will do and I don’t think anyone with more than 3 GSCE’s think’s Nige has any actual, practical answers that could stand up to scrutiny. A few easy to read 7 words-or-less sentences is just about perfect for them.
‘We believe Britain should be strong’ with no more detail _at all_. It’s perfect for exactly who Reform are aiming for.

Is it annual Nigel Farage ~~Resignation~~ Goes Back On His Word Day again *already?*
Didn’t he promise to leave the UK, if Brexit were a failure … and then himself pronounce Brexit a failure? What’s he still doing here?
