@Alexios1080@hughjbrown@SaulStaniforth Poverty is not an excuse for criminality. Plenty of people grow up with very little and do not attempt beheadings.
However, if you believe it does have an impact, then that just strengthens our argument that you should means test every person trying to enter the country.
What is a serious policy response to the sickening scenes in Belfast?
1. Ban all visas for anybody coming to the UK from Sudan.
2. Leave the ECHR so we can control our own borders & laws.
3. Repeal Human Rights Act so the ECHR no longer enshrined in UK.
4. Derogate from Refugee Convention - no longer fit for purpose.
5. Points 2-4 disempower activist army of lawyers.
6. Now, detain & deport all illegals, foreign criminals, & review all asylum decisions of last 5 years.
7. Use foreign aid & visa penalties to force nations to comply.
8. Abolish indefinite leave to remain, reverse the Boriswave & end all welfare benefits and social housing subsidies for people who aren’t British.
9. Start holding public officials to account for decisions they make.
10. End low-skill, low-wage, non-European migration that makes us poorer, is a net cost, & drives crime.
11. Reshape entire migration policy around very small amount of high skill workers from culturally compatible nations.
12. Until then, slash welfare benefits & get Brits back to work.
All this is possible at the next general election.
Because almost all of it is Reform party policy.
@LBC@lewis_goodall Leftist Britains Conversation at it again.
Now totally irrelevant and like parliament, totally disconnected from the truth and the zeitgeist.
@Heccles94@CorkyOnTour@BenGrahamUK Utterly shameless.
There is no Reform policy to end gay marriage and there never will be. Farage has said the issue is settled.
@RobKenyonReform Love it and loved your performance last night.
We’ve got people coming up to help this weekend and next.
Hopefully see you on the trail and in the pub!
Whilst the country is in uproar about the tragic murder of Henry Nowak and the appalling state of two tier policing, Monica Harding - MP for Esher and Walton - is of course talking about Gaza.
Illegal settlement expansion and settler violence in the West Bank continue to escalate, while aid is still being obstructed in Gaza and journalists remain blocked from entering as the humanitarian catastrophe deepens. In southern Lebanon, the demolition of homes and villages by the Israeli Defence Force continues.
I challenged the Minister on the Government’s muted response, including cuts to the FCDO unit monitoring breaches of international law across Israel and Palestine.
The UK must move beyond statements and take concrete action: banning trade with illegal settlements, restoring monitoring capacity and pressing for full humanitarian and journalistic access to Gaza.
This year our countries total income tax yield was outstripped by its welfare bill for the first time.
Labours answer?
More tax.
Vote Reform to do what’s actually necessary - reduce the size of the welfare state.
Entry level roles that should be going to our local youth are going to those from overseas instead.
Whilst no one blames these people for seeking out better opportunities - and indeed contributing to the economy - it is madness that we are not prioritising our own first.
The uniparty is to blame, and only Reform will ensure that work for young British people is prioritised and abundant.
27 young non-EU migrants have been hired in Britain for every ONE young Brit.
Read that again.
A whole generation of Brits have had their lives destroyed by the Tory and Labour open borders regime.
Reform will abolish Indefinite Leave to Remain, deport all illegal migrants and prioritise British people for British jobs.
