There was, obviously, about Nigel Farage’s launch of Reform’s programme for government, a Tinkerbell element. Clap, children, if you believe that a tax threshold starting at £20,000, no limits on child benefits and the restoration of the winter fuel allowance, can all be funded from scrapping hotels for asylum seekers, abolishing net zero commitments and doing away with quangos.
There may be something to be said for all these things but even if the refugees were being hosted in the Connaught, it still wouldn’t be enough to pay for the Reform wishlist.
