Reform UK would be a disaster for the economy, the public and the environment.
Though the rich and powerful would love it.
The Reform party plans to increase UK defence spending, aka funding for the arms industry, from 2% to 3%.
They are scientifically and economically illiterate and plan to scrap net zero to save money; though not reaching net zero would actually cost more. They want to replace clean energy from wind with shale gas from fracking.
They have made immigrants, socialists and environmentalists into the bogey men when in fact it’s Raytheon, fossil fuel cartels and Blackrock who are the real danger and who will benefit the most from Reform UK policies.
The Reform Party pledges to accelerate the climate crisis and to further increase the gap between rich and poor.
Beware.

The Uk allegedly accounts for 1% of emissions. This excludes aviation. When taking into account that we’ve off-shored our industry and calculating emissions for imports we account for 2.6% of them. Which for such a small country is very big, cutting them would make a huge difference even if we were the only one, which we clearly are not. China has reached peak emissions and is leading the world in electric energy. Per capita the UK has higher emissions than the Chinese.
We should know by now that the only thing the West excels at is war. Other than pharma injections, it's the only activity that always turns a healthy profit.
You really are an establishment shill aren't you?
