Tory Donor Lord Bamford Funds The Reform Party.

[gulliver1]

Is the writing on the wall for the Conservative party to be kicked into oblivion at last ? As Lord  Bamford ,who has given millions of pounds to the Tory party in the past, and is a big friend of Boris has funded an £8,413 helicopter trip for Reform Party leader Nigel Farage. Is Bamford now courting Farage . Because he knows there is no future for the Con Party.

Don't read me wrong ..NO Way am I supporting Farage, he is a bigger rissole than Johnson.What is pleasing me is that the Tory donors are switching partys and hopefully helping to bring about the demise of the Tories.

LB just dont know were to throw his cash. Maybe some at the NHS??

... and will very likely bring about the demise of Labour.  Be careful what you wish for, gulliver.

Is Reform actually a political party or just an anti-immigration pressure group. I don't recall any policies from them at the general election, education, health, foreign affairs. To be fair though Richy seemed to be making them up as he went along. National Service anyone?

Why are these millionaire *Ex* Tory Party Donors throwing their money at a small political part with only five MPs. What's in it for them ???

Another Tory donor who stupidly supported Lettuce Liz and Peppa Pig Fitriana Hay has also donated £50.000 to Reform. Whats going on why are these Donors deserting the Tory Party ???

Reform policies, tax cuts and increased spending? Popular maybe but achievable, even in a couple of terms?

 

 

[youngmafbog]

Perfectly achievable if done correctly.

Remember to increase tax receipts often it is better to reduce rates.  This has been shown to wok in the past.  People dont leave or bother with loop holes and expensive accountants if tax is low.

By the time the next General Election takes place, Labour will have saved the UK from the destruction that was looming after the Tories had been in power for 14 years and settling down into Sunlit Uplands with the reform Party still trailing along.

[youngmafbog]

Two short planks.

13 .18 Try walking one of them....🤣lol.

[nicebloke1]

Looks like LB is digging for some power, but if he can help dig a bigger enough trench to bury the cons in for good, great.

13 34 Nicebloke. Hope Bamford digs Boris's ditch for him. lol lol🤣🤣.

You really should get out more and walk the street of our cities.. On todays lunch time news there were traders saying that their trade has dropped because customers have scared of the long term affects of the budget.  Traders were also saying that because of the increase of the minimum wage, and the hike in NI contributions they are not planning to take on any more staff. Farmers are mounting protests, and in only 3 months of being in government there is already unrest throughout the country.. The protest against Thatchers Poll Tax will seem like a minor skirmish if this unrest continues to develop.

Maybe Lord Bamford is a patriot who simply feels a change from the 'do nothing much for Britain' parties would be a welcome break.

 

Although one can never tell what folk see as being beneficial to them personally.

A bit early to prophesize the end of the Conservative party. Maybe they'll merge with Reform and call themselves Conform (unless the Labour party gets there first).
