Reform UK have launched their ‘contract with you’ (manifesto) after yet more candidate scandals and record polling. Nigel Farage is “loving this”.
Subscribe on KZfaq: / @newstatesman
Hannah Barnes and Rachel Cunliffe analyse the commitments in the Reform UK manifesto, launched in Wales by Nigel Farage and Richard Tice, and discuss whether they will cut through with voters.
They also explore a shock poll that suggested Reform could win seven parliamentary seats in the upcoming election, and Grant StClair-Armstrong - the latest Reform UK candidate forced to step down over past use of racial slurs and misogynistic comments.

This is mostly knee-jerk anti-Farage clucking from the interviewer and interviewee, casting aspersions against him in a superficial way. New Statesman should do much better than this.

Your right, they should point out what a lying, bullshit artist he is.

They didn't cast aspersions though, they discussed his contract, both why it would appeal to voters, and it's shortcomings. Which considering how few MP's are going to be returned is a lot more than say the Lib Dems got for a lot of years, or that the Greens get considering there nationwide share as a single issue party. Also what do you mean by knee-jerk, Reform released the contract today, people are talking about it. Surely that's what Reform want? It seems more than likely you're more emotionally invested in Farage as a personality, and so are invested in not engaging with his shortcomings, or failings. Politics is about running a country, not having a personality.

These two are particularly thick. Net zero immigration is easy as net 2 million migrants have entered in the last 3 years. As you would expect hundreds of thousands to leave in the coming years, you could have zero net immigration whilst still letting in hundreds of thousands.
