Reform don’t want to end two-tier Britain. They want to run it

The phrase 'two-tier Britain' can be tossed around as much as the right want. But for Reform, there are two versions of it. One they will happily scrutinise and lambast.

It is how many opportunities they help create.

Bernard Argente: Supping with the devil, so the story goes, requires a very long spoon – or just refusing to eat

Political pundits and even conservative ones, such as Jacob Rees-Mogg, believe they have found the remedy for the Conservative Party: working with Reform UK.

Simon Whelband: I went to the opening of the brand new CCHQ and met the man who inspired me to be a Tory

Calum Davies: Plaid may have power now but they don’t seem in a hurry to do anything with it

Lord Ashcroft: My survey of Reform members – Will they win? How will the Civil Service react? Who should follow Farage?

Andrew Griffith: Tough choices are the stock in trade of business. We need more of that experience in the Party

If you run a business you will know the pain of not being heard by politicians, of the weight of the tax axe hanging over you.  You will know the frustration of dealing with more red tape — all imposed by people who just don’t get it.  The solution is for those of us who do ‘get it’ to step up.
