Why Reform UK is just the party of the rich - Yorkshire Post Letters
From: Geoffrey Brooking, Havant, Hampshire.
It has always been clear to me that, just like the Tories looked after the richest ten per cent between 2010 and 2024, Reform UK are just the party of the rich and their policy on non-doms proves that.
The fact that many of Nigel Farage’s leading supporters have for now fled the UK for places like Dubai proves that they are no patriots too.
Richard Tice’s own wife, Isabel Oakeshott, being a typical example.
So I shed not a single tear for the likes of those left behind like Tory turncoat Danny Kruger who faces paying the new tax on homes worth over £2m.
If Farage’s millionaire financial backers can afford multi-pages adverts in national papers just because their poll ratings have stalled thanks to the news about Farage’s racism at school, then they can afford to pay the new tax.
Hence, if the money raised helps take children out of poverty by funding the scrapping of the two child benefit cap then I commend the new policy just like I commend Rachel Reeves and Sir Keir Starmer for introducing it.
