Reform UK Party Surges Ahead!

by Louise Mclean

Since the General Election on 4th July 2024, which was called at very short notice and won by the socialist Labour Party, Reform UK has had to create an entire root and branch political party in just six months.  It had previously only had a skeleton structure, though had managed to field candidates in the July election, some of which were, as Leader Nigel Farage said, not properly vetted.  In this last six months, Reform is creating regional branches all around Britain and getting itself ready for the Council elections in May 2025.

In December Reform proved that it had been getting thousands of new members joining and publicised its numbers via a ticker counter.  This was challenged by the new opposition Conservative leader, Kemi Badenoch and her allegation that the counter was fixed at the back end, was shown to be false.  The Conservatives were very put out by the fact that in December 2024 the number of Reform members had surpassed their own Conservative members at 131,680.  

Now in January 2025, Reform currently has 180,000+ members of the public who have joined the party and the current Labour government under Sir Keir Starmer has responded by trying to cancel the local Council elections in May, as they are so scared that their councillors will lose all their seats to Reform.  Not very democratic!

Reform UK gained five MPs in the July General Election, who are now in Parliament - Nigel Farage (Leader), Richard Tice (Deputy Leader), Rupert Lowe, Lee Anderson and James McMurdock.  In fact Reform came 2nd after Labour in 98 parliamentary constituencies in the July 2024 election!  Hopefully next time they come first.

Only five Reform MPs but each one is making a big impact, speaking out in Parliament about everything that is wrong with our country and Rupert Lowe has been exceptionally vocal and brave.  Follow him on Twitter @RupertLowe10. 

Reform is currently running neck and neck with the Labour Party at 25% each in the opinion polls!

Recently the huge scandal of the 'grooming gangs', which were really rape gangs of young British girls by mainly Pakistani men, has been in the headlines.  On 8th January there was a vote in Parliament to have a national inquiry, as it was found that this had been going on in at least 50 towns and cities for decades!

The Labour government told all its 400+ MPs to vote against a national inquiry, which they did, so in the end the vote was 364 against the inquiry, with 111 votes for an inquiry.

This was so disgraceful that Reform leader Nigel Farage announced that if the government will not conduct an inquiry, Reform UK will raise the money for an inquiry themselves and get independent retired judges and policeman to oversee it.  There are lots of whistle blowers who would come forward, as it seems that anyone trying to speak the truth about this in the past had been silenced.

Reform's other policies are to scrap Net Zero which is costing Britain about £90 billion, we cannot afford.  We have solar panels and wind farms, which are useless when there is no sun or wind blowing!  

Reform are also against the WHO Pandemic Treaty and would pull us out.

They are especially anti-illegal immigration and have said they would get the Royal Navy to escort the people coming on dinghies across the English Channel, back to France where they came from. First they would have to get us out of the European Court of Human Rights and create our own Bill of Rights. That would soon make the message clear - you will be turned back. Currently the Labour Party have done nothing to stem the tide of illegals and even with legal immigration, one million new people came into the country last year.  

We are only a small country and we do not have the space or the housing for them all.  This has put up house and rental prices to unaffordable levels for the people here already, meaning we now have thousands of homeless people on the streets, nearly all white British!

Currently like America, we are giving these illegal migrants far too many freebies, including hotel accommodation, free dentistry and healthcare, free money.  They are even being seen before British citizens in our National Health Service (NHS).  

It is totally crazy because right now, due to Labour party policies, Britain is broke, the economy is flatlining, young entrepreneurs are fleeing to low tax countries and we are heading for a recession.

Everyone is outraged by the socialist Labour party policies, which involves tax rises and making farmers pay inheritance tax, which means thousands of farms will have to close down, even though they have been farmed by families for generations. This will then create food shortages.

After promising the opposite, one of the first things the Labour Government did was to remove the Winter Fuel payments to pensioners (Seniors), leaving them to freeze in their homes.  Britain has the highest energy prices in the world and right now, thanks to the crazy Net Zero policy, there is a very real possibility that we are about to run out of gas completely.  We previously had our own gas in the North Sea, which Labour closed down and instead imports gas!

The list of disastrous things Labour has done since it came into power in July, is absolutely endless with new announcements all the time. It feels like they have been in power far longer than six months! Today we hear that Labour is -45% in its approval rating!

Yet they have plenty of money to send to Ukraine, for Foreign Aid and money for Carbon Capture machines!  As people should know, in Photosynthesis, trees and plants breathe in CO2 and breathe out Oxygen for humans, so without CO2 we could all die! In fact it has been proven that if you pump CO2 into a greenhouse full of plants, they grown much faster and better!

Elon Musk has joined in with the chorus of disapproval of the Labour government and been accused of foreign interference, so people have pointed out the foreign interference coming from Gates and Fink. He was slightly critical of Nigel Farage who has distanced himself from Tommy Robinson, the man who first brought everyone's attention to the 'grooming gangs' but Elon approved of Reform conducting a national inquiry on this.

Overall, right now Britain is in turmoil, people are quite depressed (and extremely cold), there is huge waste and corruption in our government, which we really need a Musk DOGE to sort out! The only hope right now is a Reform surge to take over and turn this around, like Trump will do in America.  Luckily, as we know, Nigel Farage and Donald Trump are good friends, so I am sure Trump will help show the way!

Of course everyone knows that Nigel Farage was responsible for getting Brexit done and if Reform ever form a government, then all the opportunities of Brexit can be fulfilled, as currently Labour would like to reverse it!

The Rise and Rise of the Reform UK Party

by Louise Mclean

When Rishi Sunak announced on 22nd May 2024 that there would be a General Election being held on 4th July 2024, it came as a surprise to everybody! No one was prepared, least of all the main political parties, except perhaps the Labour Party, who were taking their orders from the World Economic Forum, knew they were on course to win it. 

Reform UK had been steadily building and creating a solid political party since it was first registered in November 2018 by the party leader of the Brexit Party, Nigel Farage, which it replaced, taking the logo and turquoise blue colour of that party with it. 

Everyone had thought that a general election would be likely to be held in the autumn, giving the smaller parties time to get themselves ready. For Reform UK, it meant a mad dash to get everything into place. They had already chosen nearly all the 650 candidates for all UK constituencies but nevertheless there remained a great deal to be done. At the time Richard Tice was party leader. 

On 3rd June 2024, Nigel Farage suddenly decided that he would stand to win a seat in the election in the Essex seaside constituency of Clacton. He also took over the party leadership from Tice. He held quite a few rallies in Clacton which were very popular. People were thrilled when they heard he was going to stand as an MP. 

Richard Tice stood for Boston and Skegness and Ben Habib for Wellingborough and Rushden. Ben had fought to stop Northern Ireland staying in the European Union and unfortunately did not win the seat, which was a great pity as he is a very decent person. Many of these people had previously been Brexit Party MEPs in May 2019 when nearly 30 of them were elected to go into the European Parliament because we hadn't yet left the EU. 

Reform held a huge rally of 5,000 people at the NEC in Birmingham, which was a huge success. The whole campaign took off like a rocket! The Establishment were dismayed as they did not like any challenges to their Uniparty of Conservatives and Labour. 

Reform decided not to have a Manifesto, like other political parties but instead a 'Contract with the People' which listed a huge number of extremely popular policies, which can be found on their website, the No.1 being to stop uncontrolled immigration.  

It was testimony to how fed up the British people were with the millions coming in to Britain that Reform UK came second in 98 constituencies in the country! Though only 5 people were elected as MPs: Nigel Farage, Richard Tice, Rupert Lowe, Lee Anderson and James McMurdock. 

Lee Anderson had previously been elected a Conservative MP for Ashfield in the 2019 General Election when Boris Johnson was Prime Minister. In March 2024 he was kicked out, when he was Deputy Chairman of the party, for making a comment about Sadiq Khan, Mayor of London, saying Islamists had got control of Khan and got control of London. He refused to apologise. After that within weeks he joined Reform UK as he found their goals and values to be similar to his own. 

Lee was hugely popular with the country, as he is a man of integrity and as far as I can see, so are all five of the Reform MPs. Rupert Lowe, MP for Great Yarmouth is already donating all of his MP salary to charities and good causes in his constituency! This is what we want for Britain. Sensible policies and MPs who cannot be bought, blackmailed or bribed. 

In the end of course Labour did win the election by a huge majority, though its popularity is dropping fast after only just over 5 weeks of its 5 year term! As at yesterday's date Labour was on 33%, Reform UK on 21%, Conservatives on 20%, so Reform has already surpassed the Conservatives. 

The reason the Conservatives did so badly in the general election is that they had been in power for 14 years since 2010, had 5 different Prime Ministers (David Cameron, Theresa May, Boris Johnson, Liz Truss briefly and Rishi Sunak) and far from reducing immigration as promised in 4 manifestos, they had massively increased it! 

In the 2024 general election, Labour added 211 seats for a total of 412 MPs, the Conservatives lost 121 seats and now have a total of 251 MPs. The unfair system of 'first past the post voting' meant that the Liberal Democrats got 76 seats with about the same number of votes as Reform who only got 5 seats!

 

Currently, party leader Nigel Farage wants to create a nationwide party infrastructure and get lots of Reform candidates on the Councils in 2025. His aim is for Reform to win the next General Election in 2029! 

Incidentally, as this is a Brexit blog, I should add that Sir Kier Starmer, our new Prime Minister, head of the Labour Party, is very much a Remainer, i.e. he would like Britain to be back in the European Union. Unfortunately as I wrote about last year, virtually all the EU legislation in the UK Parliament has not been repealed, so it would be fairly easy to slot us back in again. Hopefully this will not happen but nevertheless all the benefits and opportunities of Brexit Britain have not been utilised and so far we have had BRINO (Brexit in name only!)
