After dire YouGov polls?

Stop the boats, stop the Net Zero, stop the high taxation, stop the pandering to woke and yes - they will get pummelled in the GE.

Reform UK for me and so many others.

Well my money’s on Trump too MaizieD 🤣
People obviously remember what the US was like under Trump, before Biden destroyed it.

Sad that you're willing to cheer on the destruction of the US as a democracy and a 'leader' of the 'free world'. A Trump victory would wreak havoc far beyond the borders of the US.

TBH I think that the OP is parroting the Telegraph, whose agenda is quite clear.

The poll commissioned by the so called Conservative Britain Alliance (who don’t exist!) is nothing more than the hard right of the party trying to put pressure on Sunak over the Rwandan
Bill.

Interesting discussion on JO'B on LBC this morning. You can hear it on catch up. The reasons given for supporting Trump were appalling.

In fact, if the latest poll which presents alternatives of with ir without a Reform vote says that a Reform vote will get an even bigger Labour government 😆

Interesting article about the impact of Reform from The New Statesman.

I'm hoping that Sunak loses and takes the Tories with him. Someone on another thread (my apologies for not checking who) posted that Sunak paid tax at 22% on his income in 2022.

I could not believe this but it's true -I checked. His combined income and capital gains (after allowances and reliefs) was a little under £2 million and the combined tax was £432,493.

Here's the link so that you can see for yourselves.

And he wants to reduce the tax rates!!!!!
