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!

Trump Triumphs!

On 6th November 2024 President Donald J. Trump was announced the winner of the 2024 US Election!  Some counties in Arizona are still being counted but the last electoral college count seen was 226 to Kamala Harris and 312 to Donald Trump.

Trump plans to completely overhaul the government and the three letter agencies when he has been inaugurated.  He says there is far too much corruption in all of them.

He also plans to deport criminal illegal migrants who have been terrorising the American population for too long.  He will use the Criminal Alien Act of 1798 to enforce this. He says something like 20 million have come in through the open border with Mexico since Biden took office and Trump plans to start with deporting one million of these.  He says the price tag will be high but worth it.

Trump has hired RFK, Jr., to be his Health Czar and wants him to find out the reason there is so much sickness in America, especially among children, who are given 72 vaccines during their childhood.  He will be tasked with overseeing reform of the CDC and the FDA.

Elon Musk is to set up a Commission to find and remove government waste in money and resources.

Trump has appointed the first woman to be his Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles, someone known as the Ice Maiden for her ability to remain calm in a crisis.

However there are still plans by the Democrats to stop Trump from becoming President on 20th January 2025.  They might try to use the 14th Amendment saying he started an Insurrection on January 6th 2021.  They may try to put him in jail on 26th November when he still has a court case to attend. Jamie Raskin has said he will never set foot in the Oval Office again.

Meanwhile, in Britain, the whole political establishment was shocked and horrified when Trump was announced the winner!  All the political coverage on television had stated that Kamala Harris was going to win!  On the night of the actual election on 5th November in the UK, the coverage was dreadful with just Democrat campaigners appearing on television.

Sir Keir Starmer had already visited Donald Trump for a two hour meeting before the election.  According to Newsnight on 7th November, Trump asked him lots of questions but did not give away much himself.  David Lammy, our Foreign Secretary, had been particularly rude about Trump in the past, along with lots of other politicians, who are now a bit worried about what they said!

Donald Trump wrote the book 'The Art of the Deal' and is extremely clever about how he handles political leaders worldwide.  On the Joe Rogan show he said he liked to take the war hawk John Bolton with him to visit Putin and Kim Jong Un because when they saw him, they thought America was going to attack them and that made it easier to make a deal!  

Trump is going to completely overhaul America.  He has had four years to work out all his plans and to study how things are done.  This time, he will not have the Obama people around him when he is in office.  Remember when he first came to power he was not a politician and had to learn on the job.  He has some wonderful policies that he has spoken about during his numerous rallies before the election.

One of them is to eventually abolish income tax altogether and just run the federal government with money made from trade tariffs!  Trump wants to bring back manufacturing to America by giving companies tax deals as an incentive.  Far too much of this has been outsourced to Mexico and other countries, as it has been in Britain.  Hence if American industry takes off again, Trump will charge tariffs on imports.

There is still the possibility of a free trade deal with Britain, as we are no longer a member of the European Union but after the way UK politicians have behaved towards Trump, we will have to hope they are forgiven.  We sell a great deal to the US and they to us.

When Biden got in, he closed down the pipelines but Trump not only wants to 'Drill Baby, Drill', he wants to export oil to Europe, which may help our sky high prices, the highest in the world apparently. He will therefore bring down the price of petrol in America which soared under Biden.  All of this will help the American economy and put more money into the pockets of ordinary people.

Trump has already hired an organic farmer, Joel Salatin, to advise on agriculture.  Hopefully this will mean the end of genetically modified crops ruining the health of Americans.

Donald Trump's policies are too numerous to mention in one article but suffice to say that it will be a new Golden Age of America and everyone, even the Democrats will be pleased to see their taxes cut, their energy and food prices dropping and a much safer America than under Biden.

Sir Keir Starmer's Britain

The Labour government was voted into power at the General Election held on 4th July 2024 and has over 400 MPs in Parliament.  Sir Keir Starmer is now the Prime Minister and has currently been in power just over 2 months.  

In that time he has brought in a series of new measures that are proving to be highly unpopular, not only with the general public but also with Labour voters as well.

At the end of July there was a very nasty incident in Southport where children were stabbed and the local community were outraged, thinking it was caused by an illegal migrant. This was later announced to not be the case but resulted in major riots in Britain.  Starmer's response was to arrest and jail people found to have taken part in the riots and in addition to crack down hard on any social media posts on the subject.  People who just happened to be in the street witnessing the riots, were also caught up in this and questioned by the police.

The next thing he did was to announce he was removing the Winter Fuel Allowance from 10 million old age pensioners, despite the majority being very hard up and terrified as to how they will be able to afford to heat their homes during the coming winter.  On Tuesday 10th September there was a vote in Parliament about scrapping this benefit and Labour, being in the majority, won the vote, despite widespread outcry at the unfairness.

There is talk too of removing old people's free bus passes, which they have been entitled to for many years. Also to take away the reduction in Council Tax for old people living alone, which we all pay to local councils.. Most old age pensioners live on a paltry £11,500 a year, which is their State Pension.

While removing pensioners' fuel allowance, Labour MPs still get their own heating costs paid on their second homes, as well as many other expenses.  The total bill for the winter fuel allowance for 10 million pensioners is about £1.3 billion.

Yet this government seems to have enough money to send more than £10 billion in foreign aid, as well as £3 billion a year to Ukraine ('for as long as it takes'). Our Foreign Secretary David Lammy recently met his US counterpart Anthony Blinken and they flew to Ukraine to meet Zelensky. Now Sir Keir Starmer has flown to the US to meet Joe Biden to discuss sending long range missiles to attack Russian cities.  Starting WWIII does not seem to be a very wise move.

Labour has long had links with the Trade Unions, who are their biggest donors.  Therefore as soon as he assumed office, Starmer was quite happy to please them by giving favoured sectors inflation busting pay rises, such as to train drivers and others. Doctors were given a 22% pay rise over 3 years.

Another of Starmer's policies is that he wants to prevent evictions of tenants in rented properties.  This of course puts off landlords renting their property and will make them want to sell it instead, thereby reducing the rented accommodation available, at a time when it is already in great shortage.  It is said that this policy will increase rentals by 10%, when it is already very expensive and unaffordable for many.

There is already a massive shortage of rental accommodation in Britain.  Millions of Britons are on waiting lists for social housing, yet newly arriving migrants have been jumping the queue for these cheaper homes ahead of the indigenous population.

We have a population explosion in Britain with estimates of 10 million people arriving here in the past 20 years.  Sir Keir Starmer's answer to this is to 'smash the people smuggling gangs' bringing in illegal migrants in small boats across the Channel from France. So far he has done nothing whatsoever to stem the tide of between 350-1000 people a day coming into Britain illegally.  He got rid of the Rwanda plan outlined in a previous article, immediately on taking office, which was meant to be a deterrent by sending people there if they arrived illegally. 

The next extremely worrying announcement is that Keir Starmer is releasing up to 5,000 prisoners, as he says the prisons are currently full. 2,000 were released on 11th September with gang members greeting them outside the prisons with bottles of champagne and cannabis joints (all filmed by mainstream media!)

There are apparently 10,000 foreign born nationals currently in our prisons and there have been calls to make room by deporting them back so their own countries can deal with them.  Of course this won't happen because judges at the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) have previously prevented very dangerous criminals being deported, even when they were on a plane about to take off on the runway! 

The latest is that newly elected Reform party leader MP Nigel Farage, who has a one hour show three times a week on GB News channel, might be forced to relinquish his job because a new 'Modernisation' parliamentary committee has decided that MPs should not have two jobs.  Lots of MPs have had two or more jobs for years.  Perhaps it is only because Nigel is so good at getting the truth out on his evening programme and is so very popular with the public that he is being targeted.

It seems this new Labour Government is very keen to clamp down on free speech and it may only get worse before it gets better.  Thousands if not millions of people are waking up to this and the injustice of all of the above policies.  

We are getting unpopular policy announcements nearly every day from this new Labour government and quite frankly don't know what to expect next!
