An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. Itโ€™s a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs.

Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.

Donโ€™t be angry at workers for using food stamps.

Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

๐Ÿ“Š Our polling shows that 62% of Brits believe Brexit has been a failure.

Brexit has cost our economy ยฃ140 billion. Cost our citizens opportunities. Hit our pockets.

The route to chaotic authoritarianism Why Reformโ€™s deportation plan would have consequences well beyond asylum

Reform's plans to end indefinite leave to remain go to the post I wrote last week on their slide towards chaotic authoritarianism.

The British constitution would allow them to do it if they had a majority but at vast cost to our society and way of life.

Any journalist quoting this absurd, invented ยฃ234 billion number cited by Farage/Reform should make absolutely clear that it has been withdrawn by *its own authors* (the Centre for Policy Studies) after they admitted it contained several major errors (1/3)

Reform party will eventually come after citizens, with parents who were born abroad, like myself. My friends and I have had this discussion for some time. Make no joke about it, if they get into power they will need to continue to enrage the British voting public, they need chaos to thrive.

There's a strong possibility that, despite his unpopularity in Scotland, we'll have this joker thrust on us as the next British PM. Only independence can stop this failure in democracy.

Farage visas would make it harder to settle in UK
Steven Swinford Political Editor

Extract:

Nigel Farage has
announced that
Reform UK would abolish the right of migrants to qualify for permanent
settlement in the UK after live years in an effort to end the
"era of cheap.
low-skill foreion labour"
Under the current system, migrants can apply for indefinite leave to remain after five years, giving the right to live and work in the UK permanently. It is a key route to gaining British citizenship and allows people to claim benefits.
Hundreds of thousands of migrants who have come since 2021 will soon qualify for permanent residence after the Conservative government's post-Brexit immigration system prompted a surge in arrivals. Critics have dubbed the increase the "Boriswave", as the system was implemented by Boris Johnson.
Reform has pledged to scrap indefinite leave to remain entirely, replacing it with a renewable five-year visa for those who meet certain criteria,
designed to bring Britain into line with other countries such as the United Arab Emirates. Those who presently have settled status would be forced to-reapply for the new visa.
Under the plans, there would be far higher salary thresholds and more
Channel migrants were spotted on the French coast at Gravelines on Friday
stringent limits on bringing spouses and children to the UK. The skilled worker visa requires people to earn ยฃ41,700 per year or the "going rate for a particular job, whichever is higher.
Under Reform's plans, this is expected to rise to about ยฃ60,000, although the precise threshold will be set closer to the general election.
The visas will be contingent on not having accessed benefits or other public funds and there will be stricter rules on requiring migrants to demonstrate
"good character".

Article talks of betrayal of voters but fails to mention..

And the Brexit/EU withdrawal agreement would need to be renegotiated with this latest stupid, nasty idea.

So Reform / Farage want to deport hundreds of thousands, possibly millions of UK residents, turning the country into an effective police state, breaking treaties, and impoverishing the economy and health service?

Utterly absurd.

For instance I know one couple - one Iranian, one Greek who have lived here for forty years under indefinite leave to remain permission. They spent their adult lives here. worked. Paid taxes. Bought homes. Had children who live & work here

The Reform right like the MAGA right are completely fact averse and know that they can bullshit their way to power because their followers simply don't care about truth.

That's the threat this country faces, and it strikes me that our media are ill equipped to tackle it and failing us all.
