Hahaha fuck me, Nigel Farage coming out as the less bad guy on two issues in a single week. What's going on?
On some specific areas of policy, I find Reform's platform thoroughly agreeable. Nationalise the water companies? Check. Nationalise British Steel? Check. Combine social care with the NHS for a unified system? Yes please.
It's just the y'know, the racism that I object to.
Whenever you see far right wingers extol the virtues of socialist policies you can know that they're only doing this for popularity and cover.
When they get in office they will miraculously never make progress on any of the socialist promises but all of the fascist ones happen to stay top of mind for them.
Reminds me of this whole "National Socialism" thing. What a strange coincidence, innit?
Except the racism is the only policy Frogface would follow through on.
J.K. Is probably going to launch her own party and she's going to make Nige look positively reasonable.
The UK has gotten weird
Always has been.
It's the same reason that Marjorie Taylor Greene is calling what's happening in Gaza a genocide. Spineless amoral grifters can see that the mainstream political parties are so far removed from their base in major issues like the Gaza genocide and deportations in the US and trans rights in TERF Island that they see legitimacy and clout and most importantly votes to be gained for flipping their previous stances. It's scary shit.
Yes, it is scary that the establishment is so invested in genocide.
Well he did also have that sane moment when Elon Musk suggested Reform needed more Yaxley-Lemon and Farridge was like "lol nah mate"
