I swear that's the most I've ever heard her natural accent come out. Definitely been on the snakebite.
 
To my astonishment, I really have missed SOZZLED SWAYING Nadine from our mainstream media

Who on earth still thinks putting her in front of a camera is the best PR :disco:
 
A literal criminal with a Trump pardon just casually buying our democracy.
 
It’s why they’re all into crypto - generating fake money to fund far right parties all over the world. The bubble can’t burst soon enough.

Reform UK has announced plans to close down the UK's asylum system for a full parliamentary term if it were to enter government.

The party said all new asylum applications would be rejected and existing applications voided, with all claimants marked for deportation, which Reform said would effectively suspend the asylum system.

Reform would scrap the asylum tribunal system, which hears asylum appeal cases, and claimants in more than 90,000 outstanding appeals would be deported.

It said no grants of humanitarian protection or refugee status would be made.

Labour chair Bridget Phillipson called the proposals a "clear sign of desperation and weakness".

"Running away from basic decency by entirely abandoning those escaping war and persecution might look to Reform like a way of winning a bidding war with other parties on the right, but the vast majority of British people will reject it as an assault on our common values," she said.

Conservative shadow home secretary Chris Philp said the proposals "largely copy" his party's policies, arguing: "Only the Conservatives have a serious and credible plan to fix our borders."

Liberal Democrat home affairs spokesperson Max Wilkinson said: "Reform and the Conservatives were the architects of the failed asylum system and now they will exploit it at every opportunity - including Farage's latest announcement."

Reform said it would pull the UK out of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), repeal the Human Rights Act 1998 and disapply the 1951 Refugee Convention to prevent legal challenges to its plans.

Party leader Nigel Farage said the UK is "facing a national security emergency" and "we cannot accept more asylum seekers while we still have no idea how many people are in the country illegally and the threat they pose."

Home Office staff who currently oversee asylum claims would be "reprioritised to reviewing and overturning previous refugee grants", Reform added.

The party said it would attempt to pressure other countries into accepting those marked for deportation from the UK by using visa bans and tariffs on goods and services.

Pakistan, Somalia, Eritrea, Syria, Afghanistan and Sudan could be hit with visa bans under these measures.

If these policies are unsuccessful, Reform would "apply further sanctions, including banning a country's airlines from British airspace and their citizens from transit", the announcement added.

In "extreme cases" where no country is willing to take custody of a deportee or it is inappropriate to return someone to their home country, Reform said it would negotiate deals with third countries.

In April, Reform pledged an immediate review of all asylum claims from the last five years should the party win the next general election.

Around 400,000 people would be liable for deportation under the plans, which would target anybody granted asylum, overstaying a visa, or from a country deemed safe by a Reform-led government.

The party previously announced it would bar anyone arriving on a small boat, and suggested this could mean 600,000 deportations over five years.

Both Labour and the Conservatives have also pledged to make changes to the asylum system.

Phillipson said Farage is "casting around for more and more extreme policies" as he deals with questions about finances and rival party Restore Britain.

Phillipson said Labour is showing "we can control immigration and get numbers down with serious action, not by abandoning the asylum system altogether", adding the "right approach" is "not giving up or caving to the most extreme voices, but ensuring that the rules we have are properly enforced".

Laying the groundwork for the UK’s version of ICE.
 
This is probably why Burnham is considering an early election. Go now while the right are still divided; if he leaves it and Reform implode, he could lose.
 
I think people overrate Reform's influence on the election timing. they could strengthen but I think the main reason to consider an early election is that Labour's own manifesto is a noose around their necks. he'll be a hot air PM if he can't raise money from new taxes sooner than 2030. he knows the country can't wait that long and he clearly wants to get shit done now.
 
Kemi's on the rise however with the press starting to back her. Reform have, at minimum, flatlined. The moment could pass quickly.

I think a bigger influence is probably the unpredictability of Trump and what his response will be to losing the midterms.
 
I finally saw one of the Reform Wardens in the city centre. I lost my nerve and just did a fake out SCUM cough as I walked by.

I had a whole thing planned. OH WELL.

They had loads of badges and patches sewn onto their outfit, including "your local bobby". You're literally not, you're just a racist twat in a hi-viz jacket with no more power than literally ANYONE.

It’s too articulated. Many reform voters won’t have a clue what he’s talking about.

Yes - it's lovely, but it only appeals to those who will never vote for them, and will do nothing to dissuade those who plan to.
