Richard Tice has taken to the stage at the Reform UK press conference.
“People are getting poorer, that recession almost two years per person. If that’s their plan, well it’s not the plan of the British people to get poorer,” Mr Tice said in the wake of the Budget.
“Something significant has changed in recent months. I’ve noticed people’s concerns and anxiety has turned to anger and fury. Because nothing works, Britain is broken, and we all know who broke it. There are so many areas where it’s broken.”
He added: “They’ve imposed on us mass immigration that we can see from the data is making us poorer, no question whatsoever. People also separately are appalled at what’s going on in our streets, our towns and our cities with these anti-Semitic, hate-filled pro-Hamas marches that is leading to genuine fear. The Jewish community in London, afraid to go out at the weekend…
“What a shocking indicment of the performance of the boss of the Met Police, of the person in charge of security in London, the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, of the Home Secretary and of the Prime Minister, that the Jewish community are terrified. Absolutely appalling.
“Separately, people are horrified that this gender ideology is infecting our schools, poisoning the minds of our children… And also people are waking up to the absurd multi-trillion pound cost of this obsession with net zero. But any of us who want to talk about it, oh no, we’re a bigot! We must be smeared, we must be labelled, we’re -phobic in some way. No we’re not, we’re just talking common sense, the genuine concerns of tens of millions of people up and down the country. I think the Westminster establishment has never been more out-of-touch.”
