If the triple lock hadn't been introduced in 2011 the state pension bill would now be about £8.75bn lower in this financial year alone. That won't fund social care of course, but it helps.

Im calling BS on the 100% mortgage in 2009. I workingbin retail banking then, lender were pulling up the drawbridge fast as they could following the financial crash. Nobody was offering 100% mortgages. We went from 10% deposit on commercial property to minimum 30%in 2008.

You assume Reform draws its support from the right. It does in part but much of its support comes from formerly red areas,such as Ashfield. White, working class racism is alive and well in Reform

Whereas Reform will allow anyone white to compete, including those from Russia and Belarus, but not Ukraine

Not quite to gotcha ypu may think Its also possible that Clarkson was the best man for the job. Qualifications aren't everything. Given his subsequent career in journalism that seems a more likely answer.

Technically I think he was kicked out by Labour rather then defected

You missed Lee Anderson who also changed from the Tories to Reform without an election

It is. I don't disagree that this is somewhat unseemly but currently he appears likely to be the only candidate and thus defacto is PM in waiting.

Because he was Mayor of Manchester already

Not unless another candidate wants to stand against him, and its likely they would lose anyway
