Farage understands that. Though where he's gonna find the the money for re-nationalisation other than be borrowing it is beyond me. Perhaps grow the economy first.
I think that's the crux of the problem for Reform UK. If they're serious about winning, their policies like the £20k tax free allowance need to be costed. Stating you want economic growth is one thing, it doesn't make it happen.
