I mean, you'd have to explain what is functionally different from a labour government that is doing things that its claimed that reform would do I they had power. Like, farage is now seen as to the left of starmer, on policy in some areas. Vote labour and get reform is not a winning strategy.

I certainly think Farage is playing the populist card very cleverly, in the same way Trump did in the States (and that he did himself during the Brexit campaign). It's worrying. But in no way to me is he fundamentally anything other than hard right wing.

"you'd have to explain what is functionally different from a labour government that is doing things that its claimed that reform would do" Still waiting for you to do this bit. You're insisting they're different and better than Tory & Reform, but producing zero evidence

It's not hard to find lists of things Labour have delivered since the election, if you feel like using Google. And I just despair at the idea that this government, for all its flaws and mistakes, is the same as Farage's far-right extremists.
