Incredible coincidence that @nigel_Farage watched the England game in the same spot in the same pub, with the same flags up, wearing the same top and standing next to someone wearing an identical top as he did during the Euros in 2024.
This is the chef's kiss of Reform policy ideas.
The perfect example of public appeal vs retarded policy. Which is really what Reform is all about.
There are so many ways this would will be abused or backfire so I will list them all.
1. I said last night, company directors/owners will suddenly be earning 60 hours weeks every week (but not really).
2. Employee collusion - Business convert salaried roles to lower rate hourly pay, but pays fake "overtime". The employee gets more take home pay but the employer's payroll costs reduce.
3. Diversion - Many jobs don't pay overtime. Teachers for example. If they did, we'd be bankrupt. Why go into teaching on £35k a year when you could earn that on less hours with overtime elsewhere?
Efficiently run company don't have overtime opportunities at all, making them less attractive than those that do.
4. Unfair advantage - Let's say your a small landscaping company employing 5 guys by gaming the system above. You have an unfair advantage over the bigger company playing by the rules. Jobs will be lost as smaller, less scrupulous companies gain advantage over those that play by the rules.
5. It shrinks the job market - Offering overtime becomes a recruitment advantage. In which case employing 5 people to do a job with overtime is better than employing 6 with none.
6. It can shrink productivity - It's now in your interest to stretch your workload over more hours or game the system. Which means more hours worked for the same production.
7. If you think the answer is that there will be increased compliance enforcement and auditing from an already overwhelmed HMRC when Reform want to cut the civil service I'm afraid you're mistaken.
Look at the state of it…
“The IDF states that every airstrike is based on verified intelligence and precision-guided munitions”
The most unchallenged, obvious lie ever told.
‘There was permission to kill 300 people as collateral damage.’
Israeli intelligence whistleblowers expose the ‘non-human’ targeting system in Gaza, where strikes are approved in minutes, as more than 70,000 have been killed in Gaza since October 7th.
Terriers are often carried on a quad bike in a box during a hunt. They're used to flush the foxes out should they shelter underground in places like a badger sett or a burrow, a sure sign of illegal fox hunting. We just spotted a terrier man on this hunt.
📊 The Brexit majority hasn’t just slipped 👉it’s vanished. Completely.
This chart from Peter Kellner/YouGov shows:
• 5 million 2016 voters have died
• New young voters back Rejoin by 5:1
• 29% of Leave voters now want to rejoin
• Net result: Rejoin 19.8m vs Stay Out 11.7m
➡️ An 8 MILLION majority for Rejoin.
Britain is now a pro-EU country.
The only people keeping Brexit alive are politicians who benefit from the damage.
Someone saved all of the Epstein emails from the releases and set up a Gmail clone site that you can scroll as if you were in Jeffery's Gmail.
You can search by contacts, photos and even flight history.

The city's murder rate is now lowest for decades; perhaps centuries. https://t.co/T0o7Q0bgVw
Jewish community leaders in Birmingham
Standing outside Villa Park
Saying they support the ban of Maccabi
Saying it's nothing to do with religion, or against Jews
"It's a genuine safety concern against hooliganism from Maccabi"
Shame on @Keir_Starmer@ShabanaMahmood and @lisanandy for overturning police safety advice and turning this into an antisemitism issue
After last nights football violence in Tel Aviv, Labour had an opt out to last week's statements, they could have deferred to the police and accept the ban
Instead, Labour are putting our police at risk, the local Birmingham community at risk and crossing the rubicon into authoritarianism by ignoring what the safety and police assessment were
The Jewish and Muslim community in Birmingham are standing together in solidarity against Maccabi, and it is a Labour government that is inviting disruption into their community
Shame on Labour, and anyone else who continues to supports Labour - this level of authoritarianism ought to worry every Brit. The next election cannot come round soon enough
