Reform UK would replace “social value” procurement with a two-factor test, seeking value for money and backing British production. It would scrap rules that force businesses to have diversity hiring practices and net zero commitments to bid for government contracts.

The change would be delivered immediately by a national procurement policy statement, which would remove the social value test.

  • Robert Jenrick: “The taxpayer has been taken for a ride under successive governments.
  • Richard Tice: “Our plan will restore value for money for the taxpayer and put British workers first. A Reform government will simplify the system and finally restore common sense.”

Nigel Farage will absolutely survive this one, and he will, in many ways, benefit from it.

"Nigel Farage could be very flattered because what it tell us is that he's got the establishment rattled and we've seen the same thing in the US in the run up to the presidential elections and we know how that panned out."

Parliament has come back with no fault found with the inquiry over Nigel Farage and his alleged five homes.

The two coastal homes are holiday lets owned in a company that Nigel owns called Thorn in the Side. That company also owns a fishing vessel. Nigel declared those assets because he declared the company and its income from it. That leaves three homes:

  • The first one is matrimonial home from his former marriage where his daughter lives. Nigel and wife had a settlement. Nigel kept the house. The daughter lives in it.
  • Then there's the Clacton constituency home which he's bound to have. That's been purchased by his girlfriend. So technically it's it's not his. He's got the right to use it because he lives with her.
  • And then he's got his original home where he would normally live if he wasn't a constituency MP.

Robert Jenrick: Reform are announcing an overhaul of ridiculous government contract rules to cut waste and back British jobs

Under rules created by the Tories in 2012 and kept by Labour, companies must show how they:

  • create positive action programmes to promote diversity
  • work towards net zero emissions and influence their customers to do so too
  • develop ‘inclusive’ hiring practices
  • provide help with English language proficiency
  • raise awareness of modern slavery, including by running online campaigns and working with NGOs.

And much, much more nonsense…

Zia Yusuf: Labour is banning asylum seekers from being housed near schools and nurseries.

>A government does not legally mandate buffer zones to separate a specific demographic from children unless it has assessed that demographic to pose a distinct safeguarding risk.

>This policy is effectively a formal admission that these unvetted foreign nationals being housed at the taxpayer’s expense present a risk to British children.

>I have written to the Home Secretary, who has effectively admitted she is willing to sacrifice British children at the altar of her political ideology.

>Given she has accepted the risk these men pose to British children and is choosing to let them roam free anyway, every crime they commit, every victim whose lives they change forever is her responsibility.

Reform UK MP Sarah Pochin tells the House of Commons her mother was forced to put a baby up for adoption following the state apology for historical forced adoption. The Reform MP broke down in tears as she spoke in the chamber, saying: “My own mother was pressurised into giving up a baby for adoption, and this was handled by the church. I only found out after her death – she carried her secret to her grave".

Reform’s mayoral hopeful Sian Astley: I’ll tear down Manchester’s one-party state. She insisted she was unafraid of “upsetting the apple cart” and would dig out Labour’s past failures, laying bare how the region had been run for almost a decade.

“If you are doing up a house, you would never just go in and put wallpaper on it, or put up a pair of curtains. You would look at the house and you would assess its problems. If you need to go backwards a little bit and start revealing and start stripping back before you move forward, then that’s what you do to achieve the best possible outcome.”

Andy Burnham: Give me 10 years to transform Britain

A spokesman for Reform UK:

  • “It’s a lot of words for no actual concrete changes. It’s clear that Burnham has taken a leaf out of Starmer’s book, all talk, no action.
  • “Britain is broken and only radical change at pace is going to fix it. Burnham is talking about 10 years. We don’t have that long to save the country. The British public deserve change quicker than in a decade’s time.”

Zia Yusuf on X: An Afghan illegal migrant smuggler has revealed he has “contacts inside” the British government. Charities in the UK such as Care4Calais brazenly provide services for people breaking immigration law. Reform will make aiding and abetting illegal entry into the UK a criminal offence.

>A notorious Afghan illegal migrant smuggler has revealed he has “contacts inside” the British government TIPPING THEM OFF on security checks in Dover, helping them to avoid detection. He told the Express: “we have people inside the government to report to us what’s happening. They give us information. “There are people in the border areas, border police, they have some kind of cooperation with us. There are some people who are taking money. They are helping us."

>This is an outrage, but not surprising. We know the Tory Labour political class have aided and abetted the invasion of Britain. A Reform government will immediately direct our intelligence agencies and the police to urgently investigate these claims. Traitors found to be aiding and abetting the invasion of Britain will be relentlessly pursued and prosecuted under the Immigration Act 1971 and the Bribery Act 2010. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

>Reform will make aiding and abetting illegal entry into the UK a criminal offence, regardless of intent. We will call this “The Polanski Law”.

>It’s not just people smugglers facilitating illegal entry into Britain - charities in the UK such as Care4Calais brazenly provide services for people breaking immigration law. Zack Polanski visited ‘charities’ in Calais in last year and called for more illegal small boat migrants to be allowed into the UK.

>We will close this loophole in the current law by making it a ‘strict liability offence’ (intent will not need to be proven) for people to perform any act that assists or encourages illegal entry, punishable by up to 2 years in jail. This will stop the Labour, Tory and Green Party endorsed charity industrial complex from facilitating large scale illegal entry under the false premise of charitable action. WE WILL SECURE OUR BORDER.

Nigel Farage on Facebook: Has Shabana Mahmood lost her mind? Next week, she is set to announce a ‘Homes for Ukraine’ style migrant scheme for conflicts all around the world. For context, that scheme took in over 200,000 Ukrainians. This must not stand.

What nations do Labour have in mind?

  • Sudan. You know who is Sudanese? Deng Majek, the illegal migrant who murdered Rhiannon Whyte - stabbing her 23 times with a screwdriver. And Mohamed Harun, a refugee who raped a woman and told the judge sentencing him “fuck England”. In fact, over a third of Sudanese criminals in prison here have committed sex offences.
  • Mahmood also wants to prioritise Eritrea. We’ve had rapists and attempted murderers from Eritrea these past few years. Eritreans here are 20 times more likely to be convicted for a sexual offence than a British citizen.
  • No doubt Labour will open the floodgates to thousands of Palestinians too.

Labour say they’ll cap the numbers of the scheme to the tens of thousands. But, over time, they’ll all bring in their extended families. The ‘chain migration’ will be catastrophic.

It's all modelled on a Canadian scheme that's let 400,000 migrants in, and nearly 100,000 in the last five years alone. In fact, the Canadian Government have paused their scheme because it’s so unpopular.

Labour have no mandate whatsoever for this. If Burnham wants one, he must call a general election.

The British people have made it abundantly clear: we don’t want anymore migration like this. When it comes to so called ‘asylum seekers’ from nations very different to our own, we are long past full.

When Reform win, we will reverse this ridiculous scheme. Or better, the whole thing should be cancelled now.

Reform UK will destroy Andy Burnham before his first year is over

>"Let us start with where Reform UK actually stands today because the scale of this is not widely enough understood. This is not a fringe protest party clinging to a temporary surge in public anger. This is not a movement waiting to be tested. It has already been tested repeatedly at the ballot box and it has won.

>"Andy Burnham inherits a country in which this movement is not a future threat to be managed carefully over time. It is the dominant political force in Britain right now, today, before he has made a single decision as prime minister."

>"Now consider what Burnham actually offers in response to this. He has built his political identity on talking about change, about reconnecting with working class voters who have drifted toward Reform, about understanding the anger that Labour's traditional base feels toward a political establishment that seems indifferent to their concerns."

>"Reform UK does not need to attack a man pursuing this strategy. They simply need to wait for him to be tested on specifics and then point out repeatedly and with documentary evidence exactly how empty his gestures toward change actually are."

Home Office: New safe and legal routes for refugees to come to the UK will begin to rollout in the autumn, giving genuine refugees a pathway to rebuild their lives.

Our new community sponsorship scheme will allow approved groups to choose the refugees they sponsor, taking responsibility for their housing, integration and supporting them into work. Trusted universities will be able to directly sponsor refugees through a new refugee study route.

A new refugee work sponsorship route is expected to open next year.

All arrivals will have refugee status, undergo strict biometric screening, criminality checks and health assessments before arrival, to ensure support reaches those in genuine need.

Numbers will start small and build over time, ensuring the routes remain controlled and sustainable while public confidence is restored in Britain's immigration system.

The first refugee arrivals are expected by autumn 2027.

How did the Home Office lose 50,000 illegal immigrants?

>New leaked figures show the full extent of Britain’s border chaos. Home Office documents have revealed that UK Immigration Enforcement had identified over 400,000 people with no legal right to remain in Britain by August 2024. But almost half of them were classified as “not removable” because of outstanding immigration applications, asylum claims, human-rights claims, modern-slavery claims, appeals or other legal challenges.

Danny Kruger: Why The Irish Sea Border is Ruining British Trade | Exposes how the Windsor Framework's mountain of red tape is cutting off British businesses and creating a border inside the UK

>Boris Johnson made a tactical decision to get England, Scotland, and Wales out of the EU, but to leave Northern Ireland in the EU customs union temporarily, he hoped. And a couple of years later, Richie Sunnak made it permanent with the Windsor framework, which has kept Northern Ireland in the EU customs union in exchange for simplified customs formalities for some goods crossing over from GB to Northern Ireland.

>... Starmer and the Labour government are using these problems as part of the reason for what they call the EU reset, which is about bringing the whole of the United Kingdom, GB and Northern Ireland, fully back into the EU economic area. We need to do the opposite. We need to take Northern Ireland out of the EU and rejoin the UK properly. That's what Brexit was supposed to achieve. A fully united kingdom, independent and sovereign. That's what Reform believes in. That's what we want to work with unionist politicians here in Northern Ireland to achieve.
