I think Reform might poll quite well in the up coming GE.
Hope so, not as i expect anything from them.Hopefully millions of Reform votes will lead to the complete destruction of the hopeless Tory party and allow a conservative party to replace it, the current placeman PM that nobody voted for can only aid the coming rout of the Tories.

This ain't going to go down well with a few...
With the chronic under funding of many services in the UK like the NHS, Social care and many councils...why does the UK spend so much money on supporting Ukraine and Israel? Why does it spend so much on accommodating illegal entry asylum seekers?
Our own armed forces are crying out for money and investment yet we spunk a load of it on foreign affairs and housing freeloaders
I'll just go and get my tin hat on

I don't know why but I no longer put it down to incompetence. Too many concerted decisions, across multiple aspects of government...all so blatantly obviously bad for the country but still followed though on.
Got any spare hats??

<ahem> we don't vote for a prime minister, AFAIK we never have, the PM is merely the leader of whichever party is in power?Hopefully millions of Reform votes will lead to the complete destruction of the hopeless Tory party and allow a conservative party to replace it, the current placeman PM that nobody voted for can only aid the coming rout of the Tories.

Quite, if you were a Tory party member you could have voted for leader, not as voting made a scrap of difference they still ended up with Sunak, a fine example of how modern democracy works.Dagnir said:

Pakistan, 320 million quids in 2019-20, yes, that dirt poor Pakistan
with oodles of nuclear weapons.
India is also better off by 1.9 Billion of British taxpayers hard
earned in the years 2016-20.

'Foreign Aid' is a misnomer. We don't give the money to feed poor people or dig wells. We give it buy our involvement in projects and maintain influence. It's an organised, legal form of bribery. Pakistan, 320 million quids in 2019-20, yes, that dirt poor Pakistan

You're pretty much halfway to how it works in Europe from what I can tell - all the rest is covered by Health Insurance, which is socialised in Europe unlike the US model. Get pissed and break a leg =£

In fact if you agree to take the £10 of tax off a packet of cigs, I'd be entirely inclined to agree with you.
I'm fed up with seeing fat/obese people
There's absolutely nothing positive about being overweight, and it's a constant drain on the NHS and social services
Aside from the miniscule number of 'genuine', if you like cases, there is absolutely no excuse
People eat too much ste and move too little
There should be a fat tax
Also, parents of obese kids should face investigation of child neglect
No matter what people say, obesity is avoidable in the very vast majority of cases
It's just a product of gluttony, laziness, and inactive lifestyle
