Gotcha, thanks for that.

Yes, seems a bit daft to tweet that, if she is indeed currently in Dubai!

Having been to Dubai several times……..that definitely doesn’t happen!

Re: Reform UK's chronicles

Didn’t exactly take long for people to start seeing Reform for the grifters they really are:

Re: Reform UK's chronicles

More Clacton voters realising they have been had by Reform and, specifically, the Grifter-in-chief Farage:

Who cares for the common worker?

Re: Reform UK's chronicles

I’m sure they’ll voice their concerns directly to him at his Constituency Surgeries…

Re: Reform UK's chronicles

How have they been "Had by reform" ?
All those things asked about are current Law are they not ?

Labour urged to defend workers’ rights bill as poll shows huge public support

Quote:

A mega-poll of 21,000 people, including deep dives into Reform constituencies, showed the ban on zero-hours contracts and other protections for workers were backed by the vast majority of voters for Nigel Farage’s party.

The poll from the TUC suggested the employment rights bill, which includes day one sick pay and new rights to parental leave and flexible working, is the government’s most popular policy among both Reform and Green voters.

The TUC said Farage’s Reform was “defying its own voters and constituents” with its opposition to the legislation. Kemi Badenoch, the Conservative leader, has made the legislation’s burden on businesses one of her key attacks against Keir Starmer.

Farage has previously attacked some of the government’s flexible working plans, calling them “a complete load of cobblers” and saying “if you want to do well in life and succeed, believe me, you’ve got to work hard”.

The multilevel regression with poststratification (MRP) poll modelled support at a constituency level for two key policies from the legislation – banning zero hours contracts and giving all workers sick pay from day one – which showed every single constituency had majority support for the proposals.

In Farage’s Clacton seat, 70% support banning zero hours contracts and day one sick pay. There is similar – sometimes higher – support for both policies in Lee Anderson’s Ashfield seat, Richard Tice’s Boston and Skegness seat and Rupert Lowe’s Great Yarmouth seat.

There were clearly Farage supporters in the video and they assumed he would support the working people when it came to the proposed law that strengthened workers rights. Clearly not ...

Nigel Farage's Voters Are Shocked At His Opposition To Better Workers' Rights

Quote:

Voters in Nigel Farage’s constituency were left shocked by his apparent opposition to better workers’ rights.

The Reform UK leader and his party’s other four MPs voted against the government’s employment rights bill in the Commons.

Populist voters not realising what they were voting for? Whatever next! ;)

Re: Reform UK's chronicles

Reform are not going to win the next election….well I don’t think they are.

Could they partner with the Tories…….potentially.

But what they have done is get Labour spooked. So much so that Labour are desperately advertising that they are really tough on immigration.

If reform weren’t polling where they are now, do you really think you’d be seeing headlines like this ???

You can laugh them off, but just because of their current polling they’re effectively His Majesty’s Opposition- on this particular issue.

This countries issues aren't to do with Labour or the Conservatives, but an insane decision made by the electorate 9 years ago.

Look at yourselves peeps, rather than blaming the main politicals parties who all told you it was bonkers...

They don’t get a free pass because of Brexit.

Immigration can be restricted further but there are trade-offs eg staffing for the NHS, more course cuts at universities.

UK will never leave the ECHR for reasons stated before.

And Brexit means unlawful immigrants get a free pass as we can't return them to the EU country they came from. The promise to 'Take back control of our borders' is the opposite to what has occurred.

Tripe. All those men in their mid-twenties and early thirties rocking up on The beach. Are not doctors or nurses or porters.

They are at best deliveroo drivers, at worst jihadists….in between just a burden on the state.
