I've noticed over the years since Trump came into Power how in the UK the right of raised their ugly heads to extremes, they think they have permission now to be violent and spout alternative facts, usually about immigration. This Trump virus has infected the UK in an extremely disgusting way

a bill from HMRC sent to Andrea for almost Β£9,594.79. Andrea never owed HMRC any tax.
Last year Andrea* received this from HMRC. Β£9,595 penalties for not filing a tax return
But Andrea suffered from mental health difficulties for years, earning almost no income. She owed zero tax
Over the last 5 years, 600,000 penalties have been issued to people like Andrea

What are they supposed to do for over a year they wait to be processed? Sit in a box and live off fresh air ?

Extract from Keir Starmer's foreword to the government's White Paper on immigration: "In 2023, under the previous government, inward migration exploded to over a million people a year β four times the level compared with 2019. This was a political choice that was never put before the British people. In fact, quite the opposite β the previous government repeatedly promised inward migration would be brought under control. Instead, Britain became a one-nation experiment in open borders".
If you're going to attack immigration levels in 2022-3, you need to say something about provision for Ukraine & Hong Kong (which Labour backed).
Blaming a "one-nation experiment in open borders" is not levelling with voters or restoring trust.
It's telling the kind of lie on which populism thrives

Definitely not point 1.
We need to upgrade our democracy and probably need point 3 to get there with a tonne of defections from Labour to hollow out their majority

Local elections may seem insignificant
But winning a seat means professionalising clusters of activists and having more resource when a general election rolls around
Reform are counting on you thinking Thursdayβs elections donβt matter
