Change isnt always for the better , you'd think the public would have learnt that by now.

Reform UK is all about cutting waste, not services. However, if Labour succeed in ruining the economy, which they seem hellbent on doing right now, then all bets are off.

OK fine but what if there isn’t any ‘waste’, or more likely there is some ‘waste’ but the amount is insignificant.

Then what do they do?

Their ability to cut waste in previously Conservative controlled councils is probably limited, but there is tremendous scope if they get into government.

They will save billions on net zero alone, as well as cutting fuel bills for consumers and industry by bringing to an end the crippling green taxes on fossil fuels.

The government wastes a huge amount of money every day.
