I will never forgive Labour or the Tories if we end up with a fucking Reform government.
Absolute bunch of grifting chancers.

Look, Iād never vote for them, and Iām quite worried about them in power because theyāre definitely coming for vulnerable people with disabilities like my daughter.
But itās no mystery why they are going to get there. Why the fuck would people vote for either of the main parties again? Itās not just about now. I think itās about the last 20 years since the 2008 crash. Both parties have sold their voters, the public, out again and again. For their own gain and also to bend over for the US and for multinational corporations.
Voters want to make them pay. You saw the appetite for something different when Corbyn became Labour leader, and now the same thing is happening on the right except weāre now several more massive failures of government down the road and this time I think the mainstream politicians are going to get the defeat thatās coming to them.

Thereās no way Reform will win an election but they could make a pact with the Tories with Farage being the leader, although even thatās unlikely.
But Labour winning again is just as unlikely.

Oh yeah I totally get it, this all a mess of the Tories and Labourās doing.
I know quite a lot of people who voted reform in the last GE and last local elections because theyāre so frustrated and angry, who absolutely never would have done that before just a couple years ago.

The inevitable descent of far-right rhetoric becoming everyday talking points makes a Reform PM a matter of time. Iād hoped that Labour would call-out the blaming of migrants as a front for the failings of successive governments but they decided to dance with the devil instead.
The UK in 2025 is a country devoid of hope. So the blame game starts and itāll be my fault for being disabled and unable to work, itāll be your fault that low-paid jobs arenāt being filled, itāll be centrists and leftistsā fault that weāre not patriotic enough, itāll be migrants fault that investment in infrastructure has been in decline, youngsters will be to blame for making the UK āwokeā. Soon we will be like the US. Rounding-up people who look like they donāt belong and those who donāt conform and sticking them in camps.
Farage has played the population. Everyone seems to have forgotten that Brexit was supposed to fix all this countryās ills, now the same liars are moving closer to power.

I live in Epping and it couldnāt be more clearer for even a blind person to see the direction we are heading in.

Already Richard Tice the deputy Reform leader is quoted saying transport provision for SEN students to school is down to parents being lazy and abusing the system. They say SEN support is being given to kids who donāt need it because of parents gaming the system.
The direction of travel there is pretty clear. Demonisation of disabled people and their families from our next government.

Alot of the people underestimate how deeply reviled Farage is across the country. Like he has worse favourability metrics than BJ on any point.
The British political commentariat always overegg particular narratives and movements. Farage will never be PM.
Labour arenāt totally sunk neither is Reform on the way to a majority.

One of the smartest things Reform could do is bin Farage and replace him with someone with a bit of charm.

What is the outcome you think is likely?
The Tories would never accept being the junior partners in a coalition. 2029 is Reformās chance to truly replace them. I canāt see them passing that up for a coalition.
Sincere question, what is the atmosphere like over there?
Can only go by what the media shows but Iām interested in your opinion as a local.
I can see reform winning the election but it will crumble exceptionally fast. Theres just no way they have the strength in leadership to hold it together.
Trump can have some incredibly divisive policies but can hold everything together quite well through shear aura. Theres nobody in reform who can do the role.

I think it will be close so it could be that the Tories win with a small majority with Labour and Reform just behind but the way itās going anything could happen.
Reform have no chance
