There was a feeling of drift as the election campaign moved into its fourth week. As if everyone had already said everything they had planned to say and couldn’t quite understand why the election day was still two weeks away. All that was left for the parties was to pray that no one screwed up. Some hope.
The biggest news came from Reform and the SNP, who launched their manifestos a week later than everyone else. Reform held its launch in Merthyr Tydfil, where Nigel Farage appeared to nominate Richard Tice as his shadow chancellor by allowing him to explain the party’s financial costings. Safe to say that numbers aren’t Dicky’s strong point, though, come to think of it, we have yet to learn of anything that Dicky does well apart from making the most of his sunbed. Reform’s promises made Liz Truss look almost sane. Almost.
