π Reform's plan takes Β£140 a year off the family food shop: scrap the packaging tax (Β£52), strip eco levies off energy bills (Β£63) and put employer NI back to 13.8% (Β£25). Food is already 44% dearer than in 2015 (ONS). Labour's plan? A shrug. @reformparty_uk@Nigel_Farage
π Reform's first Industrial Stronghold is going to the Black Country. About time someone noticed: UK production grew just 0.1% in Q3 and basic metals output fell 2.1% in September alone (ONS). @TiceRichard@reformparty_uk
πΈ HMRC is bragging about a record Β£966.4bn tax haul in 2025-26, up Β£90.4bn in a year (HMRC). Not a boom, just frozen thresholds and NI raids. Your payslip noticed. @RobertJenrick
π Landlord possession claims jumped 21% to 28,249 in July to September, with accelerated Section 21 claims up 68% (MoJ). The law meant to end no-fault evictions kicked off an eviction rush. Top work, Labour π @Nigel_Farage
π Β£13bn on foreign aid in 2025, and Β£2.4bn of it was spent on asylum support right here but still counted as "aid" (FCDO). Your personal allowance? Still frozen at Β£12,570. Charity starts at home. @RobertJenrick@Nigel_Farage
π€ 23,529 people crossed the Channel in small boats this year to 10 Nov, 924 in a single week (Home Office). Reform would detain and deport. Labour would launch another review. @ZiaYusufUK

#TodayInReform #ReformUK
@WhiteHouse Meanwhile here, 23,529 people crossed the Channel in small boats this year to 10 Nov (Home Office), 900+ in one weekend alone. US proves it can be done when a govt actually means it. Ours just doesn't.
Arrested, bailed, then gone. Home Office figures show 4,756 illegal working arrests in the first half of 2026 alone. What's the point of catching them if you just let them walk? π
#ReformUK#IllegalWorking@ZiaYusufUK@TiceRichard
DPD drivers arrested in illegal working crackdown
The illegals should be immediately detained and deported not bailed to then disappear
DPD and directors should be fined heavily

@ThePeterBraden Thanks Peter. Reform's plan is already clear: cut foreign aid and lift the tax-free personal allowance to Β£15,000. Charity should start with working people at home.
Β£13bn of your money went on foreign aid in 2025, and Β£2.4bn of that was actually spent on asylum support here in the UK but still counted as "aid" (FCDO stats).
Meanwhile your personal allowance stays frozen at Β£12,570. Funny how the generosity never reaches your payslip π

@RobertJenrick@Nigel_Farage
Labour and the Tories spend your taxes on contraceptives in Kenya.
Reform UK will cut foreign aid and increase your tax-free personal allowance to Β£15,000.
@reformparty_uk Inflation's slowed but the damage is done. Food prices are 44% higher than in 2015 (ONS index, Sept 2026) and they never come back down. Scrapping the levies is the one lever that actually cuts the bill. Β£140 back in people's pockets, sorted.
@vonderleyen@andyburnham Ambition for who? π Some EU states want the youth scheme capped at 100k to 500k a year, UK's pushing about 50k (Guardian, 23 Oct). That's free movement by the back door. And the agrifood deal means EU food rules we get no vote on. We left for a reason.
Home Office to Lee: "asylum accommodation is non-detained" π
93,293 on asylum support at end of June, just 1,162 at Wethersfield and Crowborough military sites (Home Office).
The rest live in towns, free to come and go. Reform would detain and deport. #ReformUK@ZiaYusufUK
Detain Illegal Migrants.
I recently asked the Home Office if they have considered the merits of preventing asylum seekers from being able to roam around local communities.
The response. βAsylum accommodation is non-detainedβ.
But donβt worry. The Home Office have advised the illegal migrants not to engage in any anti-social behaviour or criminal activity. Thatβs all they are offering β advice.
We all remember that disgraceful Home Office booklet. Why did they feel the need to produce it if there isnβt a problem?
The Labour Government have no issue letting thousands of unvetted young men wander in communities across Britain. The actions of this Government is leaving British people, especially our women and girls, unsafe to walk the streets of their own neighbourhood. Itβs a disgrace.
Reform UK will detain all illegal migrants until they can be deported. They would not be allowed to freely roam.
That is the difference.
@LeeAndersonMP_ Proper hero. Most people would've filmed it, Tuli just ran in π And it's not rare either, 48,615 knife offences in a year, about 133 a day (ONS, yr to June 2026). Reform councillors actually showing up for their towns.
@GBNEWS Tice is bang on. CPI jumped to 3.5% in Sept from 3.1%, with transport up 6.6% mostly on fuel (ONS). Nearly double the 2% target and Labour still acting like it's sorted π
@RobertJenrick Need it badly tbh. Total UK production grew just 0.1% in Q3 and basic metals output fell 2.1% in Sept alone (ONS, today). Steel towns can't run on Labour press releases π Cheap energy and faster planning is the obvious fix
Gordon Brothers bought Poundland for Β£1 and has taken close to Β£20m in interest and fees since, per documents given to MPs (Guardian, 12 Nov). Now 12,000 jobs get a two-week stay of execution in the High Court.
Pocketing Β£20m from a Β£1 shop. Nice work if you can get it π

π¨ LANDLORDS RACED TO THE COURTS
Landlord possession claims jumped 21% to 28,249 in July to September, and accelerated Section 21 claims were up 68%. The MoJ says it's likely down to the Renters' Rights Act (Ministry of Justice, 12 Nov).
A law sold as ending no-fault evictions kicked off an eviction rush. Top work, Labour π

Police recorded 507,086 shop thefts last year (ONS). Convenience stores alone logged over 5.8 million (ACS Crime Report 2026).
That's 11 corner shop thefts for every one the police count, and ministers call it progress π
#ReformUK#LawAndOrder@ZiaYusufUK
One of the reasons your weekly shop is going up is because of how rampant shoplifting has become.
A shoplifter who admitted 80 counts of theft, and then broke bail to steal from that same shop, was allowed to walk free.
She was banned from Lambeth, but an ankle tag wasnβt fitted.
She breached the ban to continue stealing.
She failed to attend sentencing hearings three times.
Incredibly, she was still not jailed.
She stole Β£2,000 worth of goods from a single Greggs.
Last year, Β£1.5 billion was lost to shoplifting in the retail sector alone.
Thatβs Β£1.5 billion in costs that businesses have to cover.
They pass that cost on to you.
The Tories effectively decriminalised shoplifting.
Police were being told not to investigate.
Labour required that courts generally suspend sentences under 12 months, so most shoplifters are spared jail.
This is lawless Britain, created by the Tories, continued by Labour.
Reform will put an end to it.
We will keep repeat offenders behind bars.
We will put 30,000 more officers on our streets.
We will restore law and order.
π¨ A RECORD Β£966.4BN TAX TAKE
HMRC pulled in Β£966.4bn in 2025-26, up Β£90.4bn (10.3%) on the year before, and it's bragging about the "record" in today's update (HMRC, 12 Nov).
That's not an economy booming. That's frozen thresholds and NI raids doing the heavy lifting π

π¨ CORRIDOR CARE HITS A RECORD HIGH
3,558 patients a day were treated in hospital corridors in England last month, up from 3,310 in September and the highest since the figures started in May. The waiting list is back up to 7.38m treatments (NHS England data via PA, 12 Nov).
Labour promised to "consign corridor care to history". It's going the other way, and winter hasn't even arrived yet π

The 3pm blackout goes back to the 1960s, when Burnley chairman Bob Lord fought to keep cameras out of football (BBC Sport). Sixty years on, fans still get a blank screen from 2:45 to 5:15 on Saturdays.
Fans pay for pricey TV packages and still miss the biggest kick-off slot of the week π Let them watch.
#ReformUK #3pmBlackout
@Nigel_Farage
The 15.00 football TV blackout is outdated and punishes fans. In Parliament, I just challenged the Government over this absurd restriction.
It's time to scrap the blackout and let British fans enjoy the three o'clocks on a Saturday afternoon.
π¨ LABOUR'S WELFARE FIX COSTS MORE FIRST
Alan Milburn's review wants under-25s moved off PIP and the health element of Universal Credit. Around 430,000 16 to 24 year olds claim PIP (BBC), the plan comes with Β£6bn more for back-to-work support (Telegraph), and Milburn admits it won't bring the benefits bill down in the short term.
Spend billions now, save maybe later. Where have we heard that before? π
#ReformUK #Welfare
@RobertJenrick@Nigel_Farage
@ThePeterBraden Thanks Peter, real first-hand insight. And billpayers foot the bill twice: subsidies to build them, then constraint payments to switch them off. Reform would scrap the net zero subsidies and put cheap, reliable energy first.
"Power under British control", says Burnham.
The Β£12bn Vanguard windfarms are being built by German energy giant RWE and US private equity firm KKR, with Β£1bn of public money from the National Wealth Fund thrown in. And they won't be fully running until 2030.
British control? Funny way of showing it.

π¨ THE ECONOMY GREW. THE BUILDING SITES DIDN'T
The economy grew 0.7% in July to September, but construction output fell 0.7%, after falling 0.9% in the three months to August (ONS, 12 Nov).
Labour promised 1.5 million homes. Hard to do when the one sector that actually builds them keeps shrinking π Lots done, more to do, apparently.
