      >The comment immediately sparked fierce debate among viewers, with many expressing outrage that Reform UK’s new chairman appeared to be endorsing immigration just hours into his new role.

      >Bull quickly moved to clarify his position, insisting he had meant “controlled immigration” rather than open borders.

      >”What I meant was controlled immigration. We are an island of immigrants and we need to be mindful of that,” Bull responded during the programme.

      Haha. So, in other words, he believes in the same things that Labour and even more moderate Tories do?

      Between this and the return of Zia Yusuf, I have a feeling that Farage seems to be trying to ‘mainstream’ Reform to be more like Tories, and this includes accepting the unofficial national political consensus on the need to controlled immigration and accepting immigrants as a part of British society.

      So… Is reform gonna go against the one major thing most of it’s supporters support it for? That’s certainly a bold move.

      Why is it always “immigration built this country” or “immigration is the lifeblood of Britain” but never “Native Britons built this country” or “Native Britons are the lifeblood of Britain”. Britain was built by the native population, not immigrants.

      It’s also such an Americanism. This notion of a “nation of immigrants” is an American import has virtually no bearing on the UK. The UK was overwhelmingly homogeneous throughout history. It’s within most peoples lifetimes that we became diverse. Even if you’re 30 in this country you should be able to recall a time when the UK was substantially less diverse than it is now.

      this is so hilarious. obviously everyone in politics understands that the uk needs immigrants in order for the economy to function. if we adopt a socialist economy that might change but that’s probably off the table for reform voters? they end in up a position where they really want to end immigration, which makes them anti neoliberalism, but they aren’t socialists either, so they don’t have any ideas of what should actually be done, they just want to immigration to Stop Now. and obviously reform politicians are all Thatcherite neoliberals, they know they can’t just end immigration nor do they want to

      This is just old obsolete thatcherism
      We’ve seen this before, it doesn’t work.

      It’s a libertarian economic and fiscal outlook
      Mixed with a centre right set of social politics (on the face of it)
      With a nasty undercurrent of far-right in the shadows and in some of the support base

      Oh dear, I wonder what the Reform supporters think of Farage and his cronies’ approach to immigration. Absolutely hilarious, any Reform supporters reading this, I wish you the best of luck but you’re doomed if u got this far.

      All these people who vote for neoliberal politicians election after election, are going to be so angry when these Reform neoliberals also enact a neoliberal approach towards immigration. They will never learn.

      Farage has said numerous times that he wants controlled points based migration. No I don’t know if it’s a current policy.
      Maybe people could scrutinise whether importing a load of builders will lead to there being permission to build houses we need, in a joined up policy that succeeds without the British system of blocking applying – no I don’t know how to do that.

      Reform won’t change immigration. They are using it as a wedge issue to get in and de-regulate and asset strip the state.

      They are telling you this without the smallest attempt to hide it
