The Facts

  • Right-wing UK politician Nigel Farage, who played a major role in the 2016 Brexit movement, launched his new Reform party's manifesto on Monday and called on Conservative Party members to "join the revolt" to take on the Labour Party.

  • The manifesto includes leaving the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), halting all non-essential immigration, and deporting all illegal immigrants to France. It also includes cutting government spending by 5%, scrapping green energy initiatives, and cutting foreign aid by 50%.Right-wing UK politician Nigel Farage, who played a major role in the 2016 Brexit movement, launched his Reform UK party's manifesto on Monday and called on Conservative Party members to "join the revolt" to take on the Labour Party.


The Spin

The UK has seen steady cultural and economic decline for decades, and the Conservatives have done nothing but pretend to take a stand against Labour. As Labour is set to take over the government, Britain will inevitably face crushing tax hikes while continuing to witness rising social tensions due to mass migration. Over the next four years, Reform UK will become the anti-establishment saving grace people latch on to as the old guard withers away.

Nigel Farage understands that he has no chance of gaining power, so his main goal is to destroy the Conservative Party out of spite. The Tories are no longer able to keep their far-right factions at bay, which is why they will lose thousands of critical votes in July as Labour swoops in to pick up seats in Parliament. While some xenophobic voters see this as a growing movement, in reality, it's just the decline of the entire Conservative Party.
