Ffs. Well, it’s up to us to make sure that their grubby ‘investment’ is a phenomenal waste of money. Reform is a shitshow of crooks and idiots who have no idea how to behave, let alone govern. The majority of us who loathe them must unite to keep them out of power forever.

If our media wasn’t populated with indolent wankers, we’d never have voted for Brexit in the first place.The public ignorance and political dishonesty that discredit that ‘decision’ have media failure stamped all over them. And now they all dodge accountability while we deal with the dismal fallout.

Multimillionaire Brexiter, Tim Martin, urges pubs to back Reform. Just like he urged the country to vote for Brexit. Too bad if it makes you poorer. Too bad for the children he’ll push back into poverty. Tim wants more money. And he couldn’t give a shit about the cost for everybody else. (iPaper)
Wetherspoon boss urges pubs to back Reform
By Henry Saker-Clark
The founder of Wetherspoon has urged other pubs to back
Reform UK.
Sir Tim Martin, chairman of JD
Wetherspoon, said Reform's plans to slash beer duty would help the sector move towards "tax parity with supermarkets".
Nigel Farage's party announced a series of proposals to support pubs last week.
They included pledges to cut
VAT in the hospitality sector by 10 per cent, cut beer duty by the same fraction. Reform also said it would reverse the recent rise in employers' national insurance contributions (NICs) for the sector and gradually remove business rates for all pubs.
The party has said it would fund this package with around 23on, which it plans to secure through reinstating the two-child benefit cap, except for families with two British-born parents.
In a lengthy stock exchange filing yesterday, Martin (inset) told industry leaders "there's no question that this initiative would utterly transform the competitiveness of pubs"
He said: "By eliminating the tax differential between supermarkets and the hospitality industry, and restoring margins to devastated businesses, these changes would enable pubs to regain some, or all, of their lost trade.
"You would think that this offer from Reform would have been greeted by a crescendo of enthusiasm, ecstasy and support from the licensed trade and its supporters.
"However, surpris-ingly, initial support has been underwhelming, at least from the great and the good in the hospitality industry"
Last month, Labour announced additional business rates support for pubs. The announcement was a U-turn following complaints from pubs about rates changes in November's Budget.

Andrew Bailey says Brexit was not ‘wrong’ but welcomes the UK’s efforts to reset relations with the bloc Andrew Bailey has urged the UK government to deepen ties with the EU, as he warned a breakdown in global trade would make it harder for the Bank of England to control inflation. In a speech in Dublin on Thursday, the Bank’s governor said a stronger relationship between London and Brussels could “minimise negative effects” of Brexit on trade. Continue reading...

‘Brexit was a terrible solution to the problem of English identity. It did nothing to allow ordinary people to "take back control" of their lives.’ So, people remain powerless and angry. And Farage (who championed this failure) now exploits their anger for power. www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2025...

If there’s so much buyer’s remorse about Brexit, why is Nigel Farage the rising figure in UK politics?

An interesting report with concrete facts. Basically, since Brexit, UK goods exports have been so bad that they've become a drag on the British economy. So it looks like leaving the EU supply chains, EU global trade deals, and our joint rules of origin at the WTO seriously hurt our manufacturers.

The founder of Blue Labour, Maurice Glasman, has weekly phone calls with Steve Bannon. That makes him, at best, a fascist sympathiser. Blue Labour is not fascist itself, but it is introducing elements of fascist mentality into Labour. It's a kind of far-right ideological entryism.

All this while refusing to call out Brexit as one of the main factors for Britains low growth and the rise in immigration after “Brexit got done.” Which allows Farage to evade his responsibility for the situation he now so happily exploits. This all helps only Reform.
