My old dad used to say that greed and stupidity were a fatal combination.
We have all seen it where people are promised something that seems unrealistic, and they stake their savings on it, only to lose all they have managed to put by for their old age. In Yorkshire it’s nowt for nowt, if it’s too good to be true, it probably is.
Well let’s run through the boiler house promises made by Reform.
You will be able to earn £20,000 before paying tax.
Two child family allowance to end.
Winter fuel allowance to be reinstated.
Tax relief on school fees.
Extra £17 billion for NHS.
Raise stamp duty threshold to £750,000
Big tax cuts for small businesses.
Scrap TV licence.
And finally the one which concerns me most, leaving the European Commission on Human Rights.
There are only two countries in Europe which are not in the ECHR, Russia and Belarus, and they were excluded after the Russians invaded Ukraine. We would be the only country to leave an organisation that was the brainchild of amongst others Winston Churchill. The ECHR has nothing to do with the EU. It was set up after the atrocities of WW2, to try to prevent what happened, ever happening again. It serves one sole purpose, to maintain human rights for us all, by ensuring that those in power are bound by its constitution. But Farage and his ilk don’t like it, because it interferes with their beliefs, and their principles and their priorities. Now before putting an X on the ballot paper just think what this means.
As for the completely unfunded financial promises made, they are part of their populist movement. But we all know what happened when Liz Truss carried out unfunded measures, the markets did not like what she was doing, and the rest is history.
Farage and Reform will promise each and every family a two week holiday anywhere they like in any hotel they like if they thought it would gain them power. This is the man who sold us Brexit, and no longer wants to discuss it, or wants us to discuss it.
HOW WILL THEY PAY FOR WHAT THEY PROMISE, AND WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN THE MARKETS REACT TO UNFUNDED PROMISES. AND WHY DO THEY WANT TO LEAVE THE ECHR, AN ORGANISATION WHICH PROTECTS HUMAN RIGHTS.
A vote for reform, is a vote to limit human rights, a vote for populist measures which are completely unfunded, promises that IF followed will damage our economy.

We all have opinions, thank god they are not all the same, or there would be no debate.
