Labour will be no better and want to introduce policies earlier than the Tories which would push people into poverty faster. At least Reform have a 20k tax threshold so low paid work would pay, I personally think people on long term benefits other than the disabled should only be able to claim up to a year and if still not finding work then tasks assigned in the community, once working for a period then you should be able to claim again for a certain period until you've been in work long enough to claim up to a year again. I dont see this as being unreasonable.

@therealrobertbirchall Oh yes I'm all for it but for decades they have insisted that if they are too heavily taxed they will leave, of course they should be taxed more as without the workforced these big organisations are nothing.

The problem in this country is down to there being far too many people competing for average jobs, therefore there are a lot of people out of work or those who arent motivated enough for the pay on offer, at least Reform are proposing a 20k tax threshold so low paid work would pay. Thats why they have the harsh policies but dont expect a free lunch under Labour, they will make it far worse.

@Nine-Signs I was against privatisation right from the start, I knew it was a bad idea but Labour had 13 years to do something and did nothing and if they want to rejoin the EU they have no chance of renationalisation as the EU forbids it. This government is more leftwing than right wing so you are getting it all wrong, a true right wing party would have had this country back on its feet. I am voting Reform as I have nothing against right wing policies and detest New Labour and these plastic Tories, there is no other party I would vote for other than an independent. Reforms manifesto is exactly what this country needs.

@michealridgway7607 Thats not my type of work and I've had a 40 year career already. A decade of Labour and I dont think there will be a country left worth living in.

@justice100forwin2 both but there are quite a few people who are spoiling it for the genuinely ill hence these crackdowns.
