What would a Reform UK government mean for the UK economy? What happens if Reform UK takes power? The economy might implode before their manifesto reaches final draft

You may think of Reform UK as just anti-immigration.

However it’s also anti-civil servants, anti- economic rules, anti-standards

In short, it’s anti-functioning government.

So what would a Reform UK govt look like?

In 2022, Nadhim Zahawi’s solicitor sent me a libel threat - and said I wasn’t even allowed to say he’d written to me.

The Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal ruled that was improper.

Now he’s appealing.

A 🧵 on why it matters.

If Hamas remain in charge, then maybe 34 months of bombs, blowing up schools and hospitals and mass starvation of the population isn't the solution.

As someone who goes into lots of schools, there are private schools that really should shut. they cannot provide the breadth and depth of education that local state schools, or even local private schools do.

Surely the times recognise that this is just free market economics.

This absolute turnip lives in Mississippi.

He's LITERALLY an economic migrant.

Does he have ZERO self-awareness?

Does he just think nobody will notice?

Or because he's an entitled white man, does he perhaps believe that he doesn't count?

He's lost labour 2 general elections and now he wants to lose them a third.

He's a left wing Farage, imaginary solutions to complex problems.

He'll be 79 at the next election - Go off and enjoy your retirement on your allotment.

The Swedish government is calling on the EU to freeze its trade deal with Israel in an effort to pressure the country into allowing humanitarian aid into Gaza.

In doing so, Stockholm has joined Ireland, Spain, Slovenia, the Netherlands and Luxembourg...

The mathematics of starvation: how Israel caused a famine in Gaza Israel controls the flow of food into Gaza. It has calculated how many calories Palestinians need to stay alive. Its data shows only a fraction has been allowed in

The starvation is calculated and deliberate.
Sickening.

Thread: The Online Safety Act is far from perfect but much of the current debate is clearly driven by people who either haven't read it or don't understand it. The Act DOES NOT include a general duty for platforms to remove or mitigate LEGAL content for adults. (1)
