Reform UK: Fishy Politics from the Party That Would Poison the Sea for a Soundbite
Let’s get one thing straight: Reform UK pretending they care about fishermen is like Freddie the Fox claiming it’s running for president of the hen house out of deep concern for poultry welfare.

A disproportionate amount of people still living off the fumes of that victory like a washed-up pub singer singing “We’ll Meet Again”. While other nations dusted themselves off and quietly vowed never again, ...
