Are there other reform voters who blame farage for Brexit but have no choice but to vote reform now?

I am a reform voter, more because I would do anything to get Labour out and I feel reform are the best choice .

However I hear people complaining about the boriswave and I can’t help but wonder whether they realise the boris wave would not have been necessary if we hadn’t had Brexit and stopped Europeans coming here for work. So we’ve swapped Europeans for whomever is coming in now from non-European countries.

Wonder what others think about this

Number of foreigners claiming benefits hit a fresh high

The number of foreigners claiming benefits hit a fresh high, days after Reform promised to ban claims by overseas nationals.

Almost 1.3 million migrants were claiming Universal Credit (UC) in May 2026, according to figures published by the Department for Work and Pensions, roughly 20,000 higher than a year ago.

Citizens from the EU accounted for the biggest proportion of the total, with about half of the foreigners claiming Britain’s main unemployment benefit coming from the Continent.

Another failure to implement Brexit.

What is the plan for healthcare?

Firstly, I'm an undecided voter who has become disillusioned with Labour and tories over the last decade.

I agree with some proposals by reform, especially immigration / asylum restructuring and reversal, but there are other things I'm unsure on.

One of the key things for me is the support and improvement of the NHS. I am someone who cannot afford private healthcare, and despises even the idea of us ending up with an American style system.

I have read reports and comments in the past that Farage would like to privatise the NHS or similar, and this would be a make or break condition for my vote. So can someone please explain Reform's plans for the NHS and what we can expect with our under a Reform government?

We need a Trump, policy-wise.

Puts own people first. (Would include disabled)

Understands how the Economy works - (Reform want to pay people to monitor disabled working into working - as if that’s a serious job?)

Respects people with conditions from vets to disabled. - Even legalises potential cures (magic mushrooms based drugs for depression and PTSD)

Policy > Personality.

I’m not saying the Benefits don’t need reform… just addresses specific parts of it.

Reform benefits reform main problem. - GAMBLING.

The issue as someone with a severe mental illness who‘s writing a book / designing a video game and not doing what I notice is the worst thing to do (and never have).

Gambling

It literally should be banned in the UK, why is it a thing exactly? extract wealth from people gullible to believe that a slot machine designed by a capitaliser is going to give them fair odds at winning. I have known tonnes of people who have gone down this route as I’ve been at hospital.

People with ADHD also can’t look after themselves the most especially when it comes to gambling, they may even steal as all kinds of habits occur. I wouldn’t rule it as “miniature condition”.

Reform’s plan also has this major flaw, if you can’t work, why coerce someone into it? have they read the medication that says “don’t operate heavy machinery“, “drowsiness“ etc… just as a perspective, it’s like 17.5kg dumbbell feels like a 25kg dumbbell as someone who weight lifts occasionally and remember not struggling before I came ill. You also can put on tonnes of weight due to medication - become obese etc.

Whats the plan if the person can’t work but has been declared to be capable of being able to? You going to chuck them out on streets without being able to eat? This has to be a dumber one from Reform as someone who’s voted for them in the last general election.

The only way to really handle the medication is to go organic with foods to counter-act a lot of the symptoms… the cheap rubbish they serve in hospitals made me put on 25% more weight when I was in, since I come out I brought it down to around 10%.

Honestly would have liked to have seen a “English people first for England - same with others in the kingdom“. Such as Trump does with the US.

And really, lunatics on the street working?, people must be too used to the idea since we have pro-Palestine/Antifa marches etc.

Edit; how is reform going to cover the cost of driving all these ill people to work? Madness.

Benefits Reform?

How do we all feel about the benefits reform proposal, stopping Pip and unemployment benefits if you’ve been in them long term?

Good thing?

Benefits reform

Nigel Farage:

Why shouldn’t those able to work but on welfare have to work a bit for their welfare?

That’s our new policy.

If you can work and have been on benefits for over a year, you’ll have to do 20 hours of community work a week or lose your benefits.

Reform will end ‘something for nothing’ Britain.

Why does a 1-2 star burger takeaway on Upper Chorlton Road have a skilled worker sponsorship licence?

Just noticed Grill Hut Catering Ltd (260 Upper Chorlton Road) has a valid skilled worker sponsorship licence. Same address seems linked to a few companies that can bring people in on skilled worker visas.

It’s a basic takeaway with pretty rough reviews. What skill is needed to make burgers that qualifies for a skilled worker visa? Is this normal for places like this in Manchester or is something off?

Genuinely curious how this works.
