Taliban's incredible migrant intervention: 'We are ready and willing' to work with Farage
In a surprising twist, the Taliban has expressed openness to collaborating with Nigel Farage on a controversial plan involving Afghan deportees.

Huge boost for Nigel Farage as ANOTHER Conservative defects to Reform



A jubilant Nigel Farage has welcomed another defector from the Conservative Party to Reform. Member of the Scottish Parliament (MSP) Graham Simpson has left the Tories and joined the insurgent party. Speaking alongside Mr Farage at a press event in Livingstone, Scotland, Mr Simpson said his decision to switch to Reform “has not been easy”.

But he said: “Too many people feel let down and ignored.

Re: Reform UK's chronicles
 

They won’t do that. They are petrified of being regarded as ‘right wing’, which is ridiculous in my opinion. Their better MPs will defect to Reform one by one. Concentrating on the centre ground is not the right option to take in the present climate - all trust is gone.

i would put the children into care and deport the parents as imo anyone who puts a child on one of those boats is unfit to have them, they are perfectly safe in France and there is no need to endanger children in this way

You can't just deport them to France anymore without France agreeing.

Is today's Reform policy on immigration any different than the Conservative's?

Re: Reform UK's chronicles
 

i didn't say deport them to France i said they are safe in France

Re: Reform UK's chronicles
 

They're safe in many countries but how is that relevant? Most refugees, asylum seekers and economic migrants stay in Europe but don't come to the UK.

Re: Reform UK's chronicles
 

Re: Reform UK's chronicles
 

Talking about immigration plays into Reform's hands. Labour should be talking about the NHS and policy areas where it polls strongest in. Farage has successfully got the media and nation discussing his agenda where Reform polls strongest on.

Re: Reform UK's chronicles
 

Re: Reform UK's chronicles
 

Apparently we need immigration to help the economy grow, while businesses are laying off staff or closing.

On the other hand:

If you want your nails painted a pretty colour - 6 establishments per square mile.
Fancy chicken nuggets and fries? - 17 establishments per square mile.
Need that hair cutting? - 8 establishments per square mile.
Getting the car washed - 12 establishments per square mile.
Need advice on home energy efficiency? - you'll usually get an unsolicited phone call 7 times a day

Planning a train journey? - check the 'strikes' timetable
Need a doctors appointment? - set the alarm for 7:30 am and get in the phone queue to grab one of the 7 appointments available
Have a query about a change of disability benefits? - expect being shunted around on the phone all day and still get no answer.
Need a dentist? - good luck on that one.

They're just clever populists saying what they need to say to get elected. They're not worried about balancing the books or having a strategy for productivity and growth.

Don't you believe it. People around here are beginning to despair about the inefficidncy and waste that goes on in the NHS and the inconsistency of service. Farage has better answers, somit doesn't really matter what Labour concentrate on. They know they've lost the Beneral Election 2029 already.

You are totally missing the elephant in the room, which is that Farage is talking about what concerns most people, and he's the only one with the guts to deliver.

Of course they have. You've just closed your ears to what Farage is actually saying.

---------- Post added at 15:56 ---------- Previous post was at 15:51 ----------

Reform will grow the economy by bringing back the wealth creators, make trading easier, cut waste in the Civil Service, abolish unnecessary legislation that discourages small businesses and innovation and stop unnecessary government spending. The detailed plans will be laid out before the election.

Re: Reform UK's chronicles

Re: Reform UK's chronicles
 

Reform is anti-growth and wants to increase red tape with our largest market. They want to throw Ukraine under the bus. And their policies on the NHS which they once wanted to privatise are somewhat vague! No wonder they want to talk about immigration!

(But where they stand on the big issue of the day - getting rid of linear TV channels - remains a big unknown! :D)

Re: Reform UK's chronicles
 

British people like fairness, and more importantly don’t like people taking the piss.

The economic migrants (some aren’t even that they’re basically tourists), let’s call them what they are. They’re not refugees.

They’re jumping the queue against people trying enter the right way.

Being housed, fed, paid, culturally at odds with the U.K. costing us billions, when our economy is in the toilet, heating costs up, cost of living going up, and Labour doing absolutely sweet FA about it.

Reform are tapping into all of it.

I voted Reform at the last election and I’ll be voting for them at the next, for the very simple reason that they are not Tory, Labour or LibDem…..that’s all the reason I need.

Re: Reform UK's chronicles
 

Re: Reform UK's chronicles
 

Some are asylum-seekers, some are economic migrants. It's probably not great being a Christian or gay in Afghanistan and Iran, for example.

These people are not here for benefits, the government won't allow them to work until their claims have been processed and that's been underfunded so is taking too long. Fortunately, that's being improved so wrong to say nothing's being done about it.

Obviously, once immigrants are working they will more than pay for themselves and will probably be very motivated. Many great companies were founded by immigrants generating considerable wealth for this country. Recent examples are easyJet, Babylon Health and Revolut.

Re: Reform UK's chronicles
 

Re: Reform UK's chronicles
 

They're on benefits because they're not allowed to work. They're not crossing the world and risking their lives for a HMO in a run-down seaside town! The sooner they get processed, the sooner we can empty the hotels and the sooner they start paying taxes.

They come to the UK largely because they can speak English and have connections here. It's a side-product of our colonial past.

Once they're working there's immediate benefit as they're paying taxes. If you've travelled half-way across the world and don't have your parents to fall back on and an inheritance to look forward to, you generally work harder than someone who does.

Re: Reform UK's chronicles
 

Re: Reform UK's chronicles
 

:clap: :nworthy:

Makes me wonder where all these 'jobs' are coming from, and the hotels are being paid by - guess who - to house the migrants.

Another one is "we need immigrants because the birth rate is falling" well how about looking at WHY.

Lots of young couples in the mid to late 20's age bracket that would presumably love to start a family, but not while still living with parents or stuck in an expensive rented one bedroom flat. Sort the housing out and people may, possibly, start to have kids again.

Re: Reform UK's chronicles
 

Re: Reform UK's chronicles
 

Agreed and that is why the government is trying to remove red tape so that developers can build more houses. Having the policy is one thing, preventing nimbys and councillors blocking it particularly where it's needed most is the hard part together with having sufficient builders, etc.

Re: Reform UK's chronicles
 

Also, builders aren’t interested in building affordable housing - I live in North-West Leeds, and most of the new houses built in this area in the last five years are 4 or 5 bed detached, ranging from £650k to £925k; there are a few "affordable" houses in those new estates, but those are 2 or 3 bed semis or mews costing £325k to £425k.

Considering that the average salary in Leeds is £43k, that must be a new definition of "affordable" I hadn’t encountered before…

And residents are told they have to live with foreign men that see young white British girls as meat, free to infiltrate their neighbourhood at heightened risk of assault or rape.

The government value the rights of illegal immigrants over their own citizens.

And they wonder why the people have had enough and protest.

Just wait for the next assault/rape……because there will be one. It’ll kick off again.

There's nothing being built, and very little out there for sale that fits into the 'young new homeowner' range of around £140k to £170k . . . unless you really fancy a 2 bed rabbit hutch.


* apologies for the rhyme ;)

Re: Reform UK's chronicles
 

That's down to the developer claiming they have a right to make (very) good profits over their requirement to build the required number of affordable homes on a development. A developer will regularly apply for changes to site layouts to reduce the affordable properties to make way for profitable properties. The planning system is skewed towards profit.

Re: Reform UK's chronicles
 

You would prefer it skewed towards loss , great idea :shocked:

Or, he could have been doing his day-job, attending Parliament after it’s Summer Recess…

(Or was he representing Clacton on the "International Stage"? He may wish to hold a Surgery there, as he hasn’t so far in the 16 months he’s been an MP, or perhaps vote more often in House of Commons votes (in the last session, he voted on 95 out of the 267 votes).

Perhaps he was to busy being a Brand Ambassador for Direct Bullion for 4 hours work per month, which he has received £280k so far, or for the £40k he received from Nomad Capitalist for 10 hours work on a speech, or the £120k he gets from Cameo video recording, or the £310k from GB News, Orr the £50k he got for visits to the USA?)

Re: Reform UK's chronicles
 

To be fair Seph, a lot of people (and much of the media) don't like Farage and his 'gang'.

It remains to be seen in future voting if those that don't like him are in greater number than those that liked Europe, which was in itself a master class in 'not reading the room' ;)

Re: Reform UK's chronicles
 

It’s not "opinions" that Farage hasn’t attended the House of Commons since it re-opened on the 1st September (because he was in the USA), he has not held a Constituency Surgery since he was elected 14 months ago, and that he only voted 95 times out of 267 votes in the House of Commons last session - those are facts/statements of truth.

Re: Reform UK's chronicles
 

Different I know but

I think I've only voted about 5 times in the 50 odd years I've been eligible to, and there's probably many who've never bothered at all . . and the wife is one of them. She's quite happy and contented as long as she can turn the TV on and see soap operas, programs about dogs, hospital dramas, and all the shit shows with celebrities in them.
Given the state of apathy surrounding voting, Farage is probably in the range of 'normal' :D

He was doing the whole country a service by highlighting to our American friends, and the whole world, how bad and authoritarian our government has become that any global citizen anywhere in the world could make a comment on any social media platform, and if they happened to enter the U.K. they could be arrested for it.

Re: Reform UK's chronicles
 

Given the way the laws works in UK , is he that far off a authoritarian state , nanny doesn't describe it any more.

Re: Reform UK's chronicles
 

Hes probably not wrong, but given events this year I dont think the US is a great example either.

Re: Reform UK's chronicles
 

The US is just the other side of the coin; people have been arrested and even deported for leading protests over Gaza that were not violent. Citizens themselves have protection from the 1st Amendment, but even then, the Government will use what power it has to make life difficult for you.

Being free speech is easy when it's speech you like; the test is when it's speech you don't. Farage is no different in wanting police action against speech he doesn't like: https://www.theguardian.com/culture/...milkshake-joke

It's the same the other way around with people who were saying that Kneecap shouldn't be prosecuted for the stuff they said as part of a performance (although I do think they were getting quite close to borderline) saying Graham Linehan should be. If you set that standard for Linehan, then it will come around to bite you. I think this is especially obvious when Reform are leading in the polls, good luck with what will happen when they take power.
