Honestly he has a point and I just now realised why he isn’t being taken more to task over it. Almost nobody thinks Brexit was a positive, even if its just because they think it was done “wrong”, and yet nobody ever seems to hold him to account for his leading role in it.
Brexit didn’t help but the actual root of all this is the GFC and our failure to deal with the underlying issues that caused it. That wasn’t actually Farage.
Do reform voters think farage will fix housing? He will literally flip it back to how it was under tories. There will be mass nimbyism like no other, overpriced properties the normal cannot afford.
The only easy to fix this is to have many years of labour govt to unwind the nonsense we’ve endured. Labours issue is they are too tame on immigration. If they can be drastic with it then they win it. Nonetheless, Labour are clearly laying ground work for mass house building. Theybe made great efforts so far and im so proud of of them. But, I fear they may not meet their target by time next election comes. Hope im wrong. Though doing away with leasehold would be a massive win and vote pull.
Farage is an enemy of the state and it’s infuriating that so many people are not blaming him for their struggles.
Er. Liz Truss?
Must’ve made a noticeable impact, you’d have thought.
Correct, funny how Farage doesn’t mention his sole contribution to British politics so far.
I wonder whether scrapping Net Zero and leaving the ECHR will deliver us the sunlit uplands Brexit promised?
This needs to be said more! This slimy creep, much like Trump, fucked the economy more than most. He’s a despicable little leech. Everyone who supports this snake should be shipped off with him to a remote island and be forced to live under his policies.
100%.
This alone should be enough to bring down the grifter of all grifters.
the English are depressingly right wing and live like goldfish swimming around a bowl wondering what that new bit is and how we got here
Reform and Farage live rent free in Labours head. While Labour fall back on what the Tories did in blaming the government before instead of dealing with worsening issues under their watch
Oh, he made it far worse with Brexit, but there’s also the 2008 crash and austerity, and the simple fact that money is being drained out of the British economy via privatisation and buying products from large, multi-national corporations. It’s leading to wealth extraction without any means of replenishment.
Nope, we have a civil service that is utterly resistant to any kind of reform that would improve the infrastructure in the country as Labour are currently finding out.
Farage and people like him in power are just the mouthpieces of the very richest people who actually own everything. A symptom, rather than the cause. A useful figurehead that can be trotted out to run through the script.
I would’ve said George Osbourne but farage is also a strong choice
Have a read of “How they Broke Britain” by James O’Brian.
Like all books, it’s has an agenda, but the facts are laid out about all these people who are currently running and hiding from any consequences.
I fear we may be too late now anyway. Like MAGA in the US, there isn’t a thing you can tell a Reform voter they can’t explain with a persecution fetish.
Well I’d agree that he probably caused the most noise, but it was David Cameron that was stupid enough to let the knuckle draggers play with fire.
> Economists and analysts at Cambridge Econometrics reported at the start of 2024 that Brexit has already cost the UK economy around £140 billion – making the average person £2000 worse off.
That’s actually a misrepresentation.
They said £2,000**/year** worse off.
> The average Briton was nearly £2,000 worse off in 2023, while the average Londoner was nearly £3,400 worse off last year as a result of Brexit, the report reveals. It also calculates that there are nearly two million fewer jobs overall in the UK due to Brexit – with almost 300,000 fewer jobs in the capital alone.
