Why Reform's plans would hurt Britain

|
By Jon Danzig
| West Country Voices Verified
The Telegraph reported on September 21 that Nigel Farage’s Reform Party would expel hundreds of thousands of migrants if it gained power. Reform says it would scrap Indefinite Leave to Remain retrospectively, raise the Skilled Worker salary bar to £60,000 a year, require higher English, restrict access to most benefits and free NHS care for migrants, and run mass deportations. Here is what that would mean in practice. ▪ NHS and care International staff keep hospitals and care homes open.

President Trump calls it “Liberation Day” – but what he’s launching is a global trade war. Sweeping US tariffs are provoking retaliatory ones from around the world. Everyone, including Americans, will end up poorer. Contrast that with the EU’s approach: cooperation, not confrontation. The Single Market offers tariff-free, frictionless trade among its 27 members. It’s the world’s largest and most successful trading bloc – and it works.

Brexit is causing a severe medicine shortage in the UK

By Jon Danzig
| West Country Voices Verified
The UK is grappling with its worst medicine shortage in four years, and the evidence points squarely at Brexit as a central cause. In 2024 alone, drug companies reported 1,938 supply disruptions to the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) – a sharp rise from 1,634 in 2023. The worst-hit medications include essential treatments for epilepsy and cystic fibrosis, leaving vulnerable patients at risk.

Which way is the wind blowing for little Britain? Little? Yes. We are a tiny, isolated, island in a corner of the North Sea, now quite alone in the world, lost, and lonely. We’ve turned away from our closest allies, our neighbours on our continent, with whom we used to enjoy a close affinity, and a leading role, as a full member of the European Union. But our Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer, has made it clear: there is no path back.

The Brexit nose job

| West Country Voices Verified
Just before the EU referendum, the then USA President, Barack Obama, visited the UK and said he hoped that Britain would stay in the EU. Nigel Farage was having none of it. An American President, he said, had no right to meddle in British affairs. The President, in short, should “butt out”. The Daily Mirror ran the headline, “Nigel Farage tells Barack Obama to keep his nose out of the Brexit debate.” Zoom forward almost nine years and spot the difference.

I believe Keir Starmer when he says that under Labour we will not be joining the EU again, or its Single Market, or customs union. He has been saying that since he became Labour leader and now since he became Labour Prime Minister. He had quite a different view of migration and FOM back in 2020: The government will now “aim” for the fastest economic growth per capita in the Group of Seven advanced economies, according to a document setting out Starmer’s plans.

Share EmailTwitterFacebook From 31 January 2024, certain goods coming from the EU to Great Britain – particularly fresh foods – will be subject to full Brexit border controls and checks for the first time, meaning extra paperwork, delays, and costs.

Share EmailTwitterFacebook Our NHS would collapse without migrants. Almost 20 per cent of the staff in NHS England are from overseas. Out of 1.5 million NHS staff in England, around 265,000 reported a non-British nationality as of June 2023. That’s 45,000 more than the previous year. What’s more, since Brexit, data indicates that the proportion of EU citizens working for the NHS has declined and tapered off, whilst the proportion of Asian migrants working for the NHS has rapidly increased.

Share EmailTwitterFacebook Britain is joining an 11-member Asia-Pacific trade bloc, the CPTP. The UK government thinks this is a suitable replacement for our membership of the EU. But when did we have a say on this? When did Parliament consent to this? Brexiters often claim that the EU is undemocratic and that we should have had a referendum to join it in the first place. But neither the people nor our Parliament have had any say on the UK being a member of a trade bloc thousands of miles away.

For all the UK’s five decades in the EU, most Britons were happy for us to stay in. They didn’t want us to leave. The issue was settled in the 1975 referendum when, by a massive 2-to-1 landslide, the electorate voted to remain in the European Community. In the years that followed, calls to leave were on the far side lines of politics. Yes, Brexiters will argue that the 2016 referendum settled the issue for Brexit. But it didn’t really.

After the EU referendum, suspicions grew about the role of Russia in clinching the narrow ‘win’ for Brexit. Evidence was mounting that there had been deep involvement and interference by Russian ‘agents’ whose aim was to destabilise the EU by enabling Britain’s departure from it. It was no secret that Russia’s Prime Minister/President, Vladimir Putin, held a long-term simmering resentment about the end of Russia’s ‘empire’ that had spanned a huge expanse of Europe.
