And putting Labour on the back foot. Now if Labour remove the limit Farage will be declaring Reform pushed Labour to do it, Labour bowing to Reform. If Labour don't then they align themselves with the Conservatives and Farage can appear to have policies to support the less wealthy. Labour will now be reacting under pressure rather than initiating.
Before a General Election Reform will commit to maintain the Tripple Lock. They need the votes of the older generation, particularly as older are more likely to vote (than younger), even more so if one party committed to keep it and another won't commit.
Farage messed up his calculations or maybe didn't read the entire paragraph he got his numbers from. Farage's net zero policy saving he's using £45bn per year calculated by the Institute for Government except had he read a bit further he'd have seen that this is both private and public not just public. Gov. Climate Change Committee calculate £26bn per yr ⅔ of which will come from private funding but offset by £22bn of saving. So Farange cost estimates wildly out (again).
