    What Farage wants and what he may get are polls apart - he has to get in to power first and a lot can and will change in 3 years. Even as PM he can't just change laws willy nilly - there are procedures to go through which can take years !

    He doesn't even want the job because he'd have to actually turn up in the House of Commons and do some work.

    Apparently if anxiety or depression is not severe enough people will be taken off their disability benefits , I didnt think non severe anxiety/depression could equal disabled!

    I like the softness but when the softness equals stabbings, a ton of abuse just for going outside, animal abuse, and serious crimes that go unpunished, it gets to be harder than had it been a tough society, im not in it for toughness im in it for whats actually better for me and us

    The strange thing is is that I'm pretty sure if you have mild depression or anxiety that this already doesn't entitle you to benefits, I'm sure it's always been this way since I can remember, so I don't know why reform are talking about it like it will be some new thing. Maybe they're talking about people with mild conditions who have pretended that their conditions are much worse so they can get benefits, and that Reform will do a better job at weeding them out if they get in?

    The irony is, until fairly recently I was working with a guy at Autism Plus to try and get paid employment, but after a string of online rejections last week, I pretty much gave up.

    I mean let's face it, the only customer service work I've ever done is in Charity shops, I was 50 in April, and I can only work short hours, so most places don't wanna know, don't give me all that bourjois about "equal opportunities", it doesn't exist because it's a voluntary part of the Equality Act 2010, most employers put it on the ads that they're a disability confident employer, but IMO most of 'em don't mean it.

    Saw jenrick giving his speech about welfare again in the house of commons. Farage has said he's not going to privatise the nhs.

    But least Lee Anderson not work and pensions mp now. He's been moved to something else.

    "When" they take leadership??

    Will never happen,the best they can hope for is to be part of a coalition with the tories maybe,and even that is unlikely.

    We don't know what's going to happen in the future, as Jim Bowen would say there's still everything to play for.
