Farage benefits

You've oversimplified a few of the things you said.
Saying we can’t let it get any higher isn’t really a settled fact, a big chunk of that spending is pensions and disability support, not just people fooling the system. Fraud does exist, but it’s a relatively small part of the total.
The Green Party of England and Wales have actually said they’d fund increases through things like wealth taxes, you might not agree with it, but they have put forward an idea.
The real question isn’t just who’s fooling the system, but what kind of trade off people are willing to accept. There isn’t really a simple answer, but it’s probably more complex than just blaming fraud or saying one party has no plan.

Yep, what gets me though, is that if people think stuff's bad under Mr Starmer, it'd be 10000% worse under Reform UK, I guarantee it, especially for us disabled folk.

Indeed, if Reform UK ever gets in, Farage says he wants to sell the NHS to the US, and we'll all have to PAY to even do something as simple as go and see a Doctor.

I think (hope) that's because people are seeing the mess that Trump is making and associate Farage with Trump ?
