Notchy asked what polices people like from Reform. I can't find many not to like.

Seems all good to me. Will he be starting a thread on Labour policies?
Notch
Do you support this policy from Labour?
TaxScape | Deloitte | Personal tax thresholds frozen until April 2028
The freezing of thresholds is already in place and will be extended until April 2028.

You support Reform but everytime you are asked about any of their policies……you wriggle and squirm.
You posted a Daily Telegraph article listing their policies, I’ve picked one and asked if you support it….not hard is it?
No, I’m not keen on such a stealth tax, it’s regressive as it brings lower paid and part timers into taxation. I think Labour should’ve just put up income tax by 2% and raised the threshold a bit…..politically more damaging though
It is actually a Conservative policy that was started in 2021-2022 tax year by Sunak:
“The Conservative government froze income tax thresholds, including the personal allowance, starting from the 2021-22 tax year, and has confirmed it intends to keep them frozen until 2027-28.”

Like many in here he pretends that it's not support of Reform but hate of the other parties.
The fact they have nothing to actually support is glaring.
As in " they can't be any worse" when in actual fact they would be. Like the failed Tories, but worse

Income tax exemption for front-line NHS workers - good idea
Tax relief on private healthcare and insurance - helps keep demand down
Raise minimum income tax threshold - if it increases the wealth gap between the employed and the unemployed, why not
Scrap stamp duty on properties under £750,000, probably should be regional, round my way thats a pretty modest house, that would be "dead posh" in some areas.
Inheritance tax abolished for estates under £2 million - sounds good why should the government get tax on wealth that has already been taxed, given more and more people aren't married this seems fair, but I admit I am bias.
Scrap VAT on energy bills - it's hardly a luxury item, but maybe have the first say £300 pm exempt.
Half foreign aid budget - often p*** away on corruption anyway.
I liked two strikes on job offers for those getting benefits.
Public inquiry into excess Covid deaths and vaccine harm - not sure about that
Immigration tax it might reduce unemployment
Leave European Convention on Human Rights - don't think we need to, just reform the Human Rights Act
there of course was some waffle and sound bites in the policy too. They aren't perfect, just the best option to get the disastrous Labour government out.

do you think any of those are actual policies, or mere "aspirations"
if they are serious then I guess they must be funded........please could you point me to the part of the article which shows these figures

There is NO alternative to Reform. None. Thats the real truth of the matter.
The country is sick and tired of the ruling governments over the last several decades.
The country is yearning for a change. It needs it.
For many, Reform looks to be the only solution.....

I reckon their council tax reform will sting a bit. Fancy voting for a government that put your taxes up and delivered nothing other than job losses, higher inflation, more illegal immigrants, economic damage, led by a PM who holds the record for being the least popular since records began.
Labour policies don't matter any more. They're in their dying days, they may or may not limp along until 2029, then will never get elected again.
Good luck to Reform, they're our last hope.

Wrong
No, not like Tories.
They may well be the best choice, or the least worse at the time. 4 years is a long time in politics
No, they really aren't. Why is going back to the failure of the Tories our last hope. We just escaped from that.
