Every life is precious. Even foreign ones. Forty-two years ago, we believed distance didn’t excuse indifference to famine. Today, our government is helping create another famine and is complicit in a genocide. This isn’t ignorance - it’s the abandonment of our humanity.

Minority representation on TV causes outrage

There has been widespread support for prominent Reform MP
Sarah Pochin after she complained about the over-representation of minorities on television.
Said one angry viewer, "She's right. Every time you turn on the telly there's another Reform MP being interviewed by Laura Kuenssberg."
She added, "I respect their way of life and their strange customs, but Reform MPs comprise only 0.7 percent of the House of Commons. Yet Nigel Farage is on Question Time more than Fiona Bruce."
"I'm not prejudiced. Some of my best friends are swivel-eyed loons, but enough is enough.
There are too many people with angry red faces on television.”

Corrupt chancers urged to come up with an economic plan that isn’t utter bullshit. So, no tax cuts and austerity on steroids for a country already stuck in Farage’s Brexit dead end. But hey, some super wealthy industry big (k)nobs will come on board to help con the little guy. (Times)

Farage to abandon manifesto's big plans for tax cuts

Extracts: 
Farage will break with his manifesto pledges of £90 billion in tax cuts as he attempts to bolster his party's economic credibility.
The leader of Reform UK will promise not to reduce taxes before reducing spending, deep cuts to the civil service and a ban on borrowing to fund government expenditure in his first big speech on the economy next month.

"Reform will never borrow to spend, as Labour and the Tories have done for so long; instead, we will ensure savings are made before implementing tax cuts.
I will have more to say on all this in the coming weeks."

Speaking on the campaign trail before the Caerphilly by-election to the Welsh parliament on October 23, he did not respond to demands to name his shadow chancellor but suggested he would soon be able to draw on backing from the business community.
Several high-profile figures from industry have privately indicated they would be willing to serve in a Reform cabinet, party officials said
Farage said: "We will be launching between now and the budget, a new campaign — an economic campaign ... it's going to be very impactful. It'll another high-profile individual coming into politics from outside of politics, who's been supremely successful in their world." Promising a "total change of attitude" on the economy, he said: "We are not a party dominated by corporate thinking. The Tories and La-bour are both dominated by corporate thinking."
The IFS has questioned whether
Reform's economic plans are credible warning last year that the party had overestimated how much it could save through spending cuts: "Even with the extremely optimistic
assumptions
about how much economic growth would increase, the sums in this manifesto do not add up."
Right-leaning think tanks have also urged the party to set out more credible policy. The Institute for Economic Affairs last month called for Reform to
"put some serious economic policies on the table".
