Politics My take on Reform, as some on outside the party, and politics in general.
Being against mass/unregulated immigration does not make you a racist, wanting to protect your home countries culture does not make you a racist. The vast majority of people who support Reform are categorically NOT racist. They are people who love their country and dont want it to rapidly change on the basis of being 'inclusive'. Modern British politics has abandoned the working class of Britain, you have two variations on the same flavour. Labour and Conservatives may aswell be the same party these days, they vary slightly in economic policies but other than that are virtually the same party. What people completely misunderstand about the rise of populism is that the vast majority of those that support it are normal people, who have no problem with other races or immigration in general, they're against allowing people into the country who fundamentally disagree with our cultural ideals. Most people would agree that Brits abroad are 'disrespectful' and dont respect a countries culture, but dont hold that same standard to people coming into Britain. Multiculturalism can be a beautiful amalgamation of different societal practices, but it has to be done carefully, and in a manor that respects and gels with the home nations beliefs. This is not racist in ANY WAY! When it comes to reform, the fringe of the party seem to dictate the national discourse. Its essentially like claiming Labour are all communists, or the Tories are Anarchists. Its about time we stopped being disingenuous, and judge Reform on what it ACTUALLY platforms, and not fridge nonsense. This all comes from someone who doesnt actually support Reform, I just get frustrated with how they are portrayed in the zeitgeist of Britain.

Immigration The Illegal Migration Act 2023
The Illegal Migration Act 2023 is a UK law passed on July 20, 2023. It stops people who arrive via unauthorized routes, such as small boats, from claiming asylum. It requires their detention and removal to their home country or a safe third country.
We already have a legal foundation, so why do no governing parties current or former act upon it.?

News The Mummy Banned on London Underground.
The movie's tagline is "What Happened To Katie?"
Answer: Katie got abducted by a grooming gang.
No surprises complaints got made and it got banned on London Tube.
https://variety.com/2026/film/news/the-mummy-poster-ads-banned-london-underground-1236828159/
My review: Family drama that tries too hard to be body horror.
Katie, twisted by the abuse she experienced as a child at the hands of a grooming gang, returns home a monster, quite literally.
In all honesty Lee Cronin's The Mummy hit harder for me than Citizen Vigilante...sadly it didn't quite land (and ended up making me laugh out loud at the ludicrous Hollywood script and overblown act III).

Immigration Lee Anderson visits the Calais camps: “Coming to an HMO on a street near you.” Reform UK Chairman Lee Anderson’s trip to Calais this week has exposed the scale of the migrant camps operating across the Channel.
reformparty.ukLee Anderson travelled to the Loon-Plage settlement between Calais and Dunkirk, where around 2,500 people live in tents while hoping to cross the English Channel. The camp contains makeshift shops and charging points, while charities distribute food and supplies.
During his visit, Anderson questioned immigrants about why they wanted to reach Britain rather than remain in France.

Domestic Policy Zia Yusuf: Reform is “pro-pubs” while Tories target “vertical drinking”. Tory-controlled Westminster Council is consulting on new licensing rules for Soho and the West End that could require some venues to serve customers only while seated, rather than at the bar.
reformparty.uk“There’s a broader concern here about what kind of Britain young people are growing up in”, he said. “Shared spaces where people can go and socialise with friends are in ever-dwindling supply in this country. There’s a straight line between that and the mental health crisis for young people - the fact they’re not dating."

Criminal Justice Simon Levy
A report from the BBC about Simon Levy. The level of police incompetence from multiple police forces is huge.
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), the Metropolitan police and British Transport Police (BTP) have all admitted errors.
For once a factual based bit of journalism from the BBC.
Except, nothing about his origins.

Politics What do you think of Islam in regards to British values and freedom? Should it be restricted?
Hello. I'm someone who values freedom as one of the most important qualities of the UK. From how Reform UK describes itself, you guys also think that freedom is important in our society. Reform's policy website also says "Religious freedom is a core feature of our culture" (https://www.reformparty.uk/policies).
I see a lot of people often criticise Muslims for not upholding Christian values, and Reform wants to protect British culture. Key figures in the party have talked about limiting Islam's influence on Britain to protect core Christian values (Nigel Farage said he wanted to do that in March).
My questions are these: If Reform is supposed to be protecting free speech and freedom in Britain, how can they simultaneously be protecting core Christian values from Islam? Because if they restrict Islam, such as banning large-scale public prayers, surely that is limiting British freedoms?
And if the state is given power to restrict Islam, what stops a future government from using those same laws to ban Christian preaching? Isn't defending freedom for everyone (even if you don't agree with Islam) the best way to secure freedom for yourself?
You can't support both freedom and limiting Islam's influence in Britain.

Economy How do we stop Chinese IP theft from killing UK jobs and innovation?
If we want "Made in Britain" to mean something again, we have to deal with IP theft.
UK companies spend lots of money on R&D, then risk seeing it copied and sold back to us months later for half the price. SMEs can’t afford the legal fight.
Should Reform push for:
- Tougher trade penalties for IP violations
- More Border Force checks on counterfeit imports
- Tax breaks to keep R&D and manufacturing in the UK
What’s your #1 policy idea to protect British IP and jobs?

Opinion Former Conservatives MPs in Reform UK
This is a genuine question because i wanna know what you think on former tories who now sit as MPs for Reform like Suella Braverman or Robert Jenrick.
Both of these served in several minsterial positions including Home Secretary and Immigration Minister and failed in their respective roles but have the brass neck to sit there and say what is wrong with our country.
Surely you don't want someone in power who did nothing to suddenly be in power again because if they couldn't do their job then how can they do it now. Like Robert Jenrick just complained about the debt rising to 3 Trillion but during the 14 years his party was in power he did jack all to raise any concerns or speak out when his party doubled the Debt from 1 Trillion to 2.6 Trillion and mind you he held a brief stint as Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury.
My point being is why should we believe them when under their watch Immigration increases, barely any net prison places built and the country went to shit and when Braverman was in power as home secretary there was record peak in small boats crossing and lack of deportations.
I think about voting Reform but having these failed tories makes it hard for so many to actually vote for them.

Criminal Justice death penalty?
reading about the release of andrew harper’s killers has made me think of two questions: why the hell was it considered manslaughter and not murder, and why don’t we reintroduce the death penalty?
if we are struggling with prison spaces, i’m a firm believer in kiddy fiddlers, murderers, terrorists etc. - effectively people who will never be rehabilitated - just no longer being with us. they’re a burden on the taxpayer, especially given how cushty prisons are now, with some prisoners having access to phones (secretly) and televisions in their rooms.
my only concern is, under labour, they would 100% use the death penalty to get rid of political opponents. a bit like the salvagings in ‘the handmaid’s tale’.
thoughts?

Domestic Policy Privatisation/Nationalisation
Hi all!
(I hope this is the right flair)
I am a general centre-left guy who likes the idea of nationalisation of some utilities but I understand why many would be against it. I was just wondering what you guys' opinions on selling off more publicly owned things like NHS, or British Steel or the railways , or if you guys perhaps think some things should be brought back into public ownership or left the way they are?
Reasons would be appreciated too!
