I'm less concerned about it being a benefit than people thinking stopping immigrants travelling on a bus is protecting women and children.
That's just Yaxley-Lennon derived BS . |

Nobody will be paying for illegal immigrants on buses here or anywhere else in the UK. |

For starters no illegal immigrants will ever get free access to buses.
Secondly plenty of women and children use them now, why would letting immigrants (illegal or otherwise) getting on them for free be a problem? |

Yep. Literally nothing to see here.

Well a lotmof the foreign aid budget is spent in the UK on asylum seekers, so Reform have double counted that.
The thing with Net Zero is that there is an initial cost but significant future savings and energy security advantages. Ultimately it's just an infrastructre cost. Reform claim it's £30 billion a year, that's nonsense. |

This does a pretty good job and that shows a £33 billion black hole before Farage has continued to make stupid promises he either knows he can't keep and is lying or is thick as pigs --- since the last election manifesto. He can't keep them becasue we can't afford them.

It also can't take in to account some of the areas they couldn't calculate because of a lack of detail.
The biggest for me though is the laughable change of Bank of England reserve rules. What kind of idiot puts that in a manifesto? The last bullet point puts it well "Reform UK don’t appear to have considered any of these issues at all; the Toby Nangle article gives the impression that Reform UK were hearing them for the first time."
Of course it also doesn't allow for the economic and social catastrophe that will follow them implementing their plans. |

Teh Gwent levels have been drained since the middle ages, it's that which makes it unique and very sensitive. It's known as the reen system.
The M4 releief road should have followed a different route rather than the cheapest option. It could not have been built on the proposed route becasue the Wellbeing Act basically made it illegal - that could have been challenged because the legislation is useless but Labour would have ended up looking stupid.

The problem is Labour made an idiotic pledge not to raise taxes on working people. They should have been honest and said they needed too, their majority was so big they would have been elected anyway even if they lost some marginal seats.
The fault does lie with the Tories because their legacy of national debt and public service is shocking.
The left of the Labour party need to take an honest look at themselves and the country and allow Starmer to make the welfare changes we desperately need. It may well be that he's too weak as a leader, but I don't see an alternative. |

Most getting the highest level of benefits, such as Universal credit, get it because they are EU immigrants who have a right to remain after Brexit and are in poorly paid jobs.
I agree with a lot of the rest of that but that's capitalism for you. |

Which is exactly what they could have got in France, pretty much to the penny.
Makes you wonder why they're so desperate to come here? Sort that out and we may be able to reduce their number. |

The other thing that voting Reform could achieve is Wales being a political guinea pig. The rest of the country could watch their spectacular failure here and never elect them in the first place. It'll be too late for us by then though. |
