Episode notes
Voter Backlash Fuels Reform Surge
- Reform UK is polling at historic levels because voters reject repeated betrayal and incompetence by both Labour and Conservative governments.
- Migration, net-zero fiscal costs, and free-speech concerns form the core grievances driving Reform's surge.
Economic Dogma Drove High Migration
- James Orr argues Conservatives maintained high migration under a belief the economy needed mass immigration to avoid collapse.
- That fiscal dogma caused unprecedented legal and illegal migration during the Tory period.
Target Laws To Restore Free Speech
- If Reform wins power, repeal or amend specific acts like the Online Safety Act to restore free speech.
- Clarify or remove provisions that empower regulators to censor online content.
