Kemi Badenoch doesn’t have any policies of her own - her policies are those pushed by right wing US groups and Trump, the Party relies on financing from ‘Big Oil’ and vested interests. She doesn’t want moderate Conservatives, she wants to ditch the TCA with the EU and support the US anti EU agenda.
This hasn’t aged well, has it Nigel Farage?

The ridiculous plan to stop small boats by deploying bigger ones is full of holes and a sideshow from the very real issue of keeping Britain safe – when it comes to defence, Reform UK simply do not ha...

If only Reform voters understood that the way to stop/minimise small boat crossings is to rejoin the EU.
Brilliant letter from Stuart Thompson to Jeremy Clarkson about his comments that benefit claimants should write weekly thank you letters to tax payers detailing how they spend their benefits each week.
That's 4 years before Nigel Farage completely contradicted himself He's so desperate to move the conversation from £5 million undeclared bribe how soon before he U-turns within a month, week, day ... "The problem is we always keep receipts… " via Reform Are Not Your Friends
Of course Farage's 'policy' doesn’t work. It isn't intended to work. It's meant to cause a splash in the unthinking press (and GMB) and thereby get Doris at Number 33 Lambert Road, Peterborough to go 'Ooh at last someone is trying to do something about these awful boat crossings.' That's it.
The Guardian@theguardian.com · 3d agoFormer navy officer criticises Reform plan to use military to stop small boats
Let’s think now - would going to war with a NATO ally because of “ small boats “ be a sensible idea ?
Not sure I have cracked the personal algorithm technique. Am making modifications.
Even the UK media are unimpressed with Reform’s regurgitated lies about deploying the Navy to stop “ small boats”. Only the gullible want to believe in - what has been a discredited strategy for years. Just trying to distract from his current woes.
Sorry but unless you, as a media outlet, have managed to get someone from the Navy (probably a former sailor because those currently serving maybe disbarred from commenting) to explain that this is extremely unlikely to happen for legal reasons, then, arguably, you haven't really done your job.
Politics latest: Reform wants to use Navy to stop small boats after Burnham vows to be 'relentless' in tackling crossings
Reform UK says a Nigel Farage-led government would send the Royal Navy into the Channel to intercept all migrant boats - and is accused by Labour of "reheating" old proposals. Follow the latest.

Will Farage opt for £3 million or will he toss a coin to get hopefully get himself elected as Prime Minister ?
Is my understanding correct that people in work situations are asked if they want AI to do ‘such and such’ a task and they have the ability to say yes or no ? Please clarify if this is your experience.
I will follow people who can explain AI and its benefits to me and Society. Be aware - I will consider the costs. I don’t want to see just Chat GPT nonsense.
Am still struggling with the AI slop - exactly how and in what circumstances does it bring benefits ? I will be receptive to anyone who can enlighten me but I will be judgemental on cost.
Nigel Farage copies his idol Trump. He wants to get rid of any protections for women, no equality, no protection, no abortion. He wants to get rid of workers rights bring back zero hours contracts etc. He wants to get rid of renters rights and he - most of all wants to get rid of human rights.
As the vast majority of the people who stormed Ceuta have already returned to Morocco of their own volition it seems wrong to call them “migrants”. That word only fuels the Far Right narrative.
Take note. "For years, Moscow has used migration and other sensitive topics to stoke fear and destabilize European countries." From the Acting Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine 👇
What is the point of Reform ? Their main policy is “ small boats” they can’t stop “small boats “. They talk about detain and deport but they can’t deport most asylum seekers if there is no agreement. No difference to current Government but they would house asylum seekers in Nightingale structures.
What happens to a Society when Companies make massive profits and then the tap is turned off because no one can afford their products ?
On balance - I don’t think Trump and Putin just want a dystopian Utopia, it’s also about white supremacy. What a total waste of time when the Planet is burning and they can never spend their ill gotten wealth.
Am trying to understand AI and its repercussions. Let’s see.
It’s a narrow field but Quentin Letts must be the most ridiculous journalist ever to be paid handsomely for his ridiculous opinions.
