👀 WATCH Reform voters waking up to Reform policies, brilliant 🤩 Privatising NHS… Oh Jesus no. Reducing min wage… It’s not worth working as it is. Conclusion: “They’re trying to reform like a Dickensian authority where we are living in smog and no one has any rights unless you’re rich or white.”

⬇️ Economy down £240bn. ⬇️ Investment down 18%. ⬇️ 4000 fewer doctors in the NHS. ⬇️ £90bn less in tax revenue. 💰 All so he could pocket a few quid. He doesn't care about the working class, he is taking the country for a mug.

Nigel Farage was paid to let Boris Johnson win. Now the same donor is paying Nigel Farage to win, and Nigel Farage's cabinet is filled with people from Boris Johnson's cabinet. It's the same old shit reheated and fed back to you.

It wasn’t the EU that made us sell off British Gas, BT, Britsh Rail, the post office, our water & our electricity. UK govts. did that and now we’re being screwed for profit from every angle. But the same person who told us to leave the EU would sell off the NHS. Farage is never the answer.

, stop saying that it's up to us to stop Reform. YOU could stop a Reform government in 2029, by introducing the proportional representation so many in the country have been clamouring for. The only way Farage can win is through our crazy first-past-the-post system.

Unless we change the voting system, we will see this at the next general election as well. With votes split across five or more parties, power can be won on as little as 25% of the vote. This needs to be a wake-up call.

Just remember. Farage isn’t really winning. He’s having power bought for him by foreign-based crypto billionaires and fossil fuel magnates. They want a corrupt PM who’ll sell off our NHS, bin NetZero and scrap our rights and protections to make more profit for them. Good day for moneymen and morons.
