You’re just showboating because we’ve had nine Putin-friendly Reform UK policies so far:

building more gas turbine power stations
cutting stamp duty on the biggest properties
pulling out of the European Defence Fund
cancelling our human rights act
repealing the Equalities Act
“scrapping” the BBC
stopping the boats (any method that really does it will be basically either impossible or illegal)
defending our borders (more insular isolationism is what Putin really loves)
deporting illegal migrants (which would quickly become an ICE-style scandal deporting natives who look different and dwarf the Windrush scandal)

Is this in their manifesto? Can you link to it please?

cutting stamp duty on the biggest properties I don’t think oligarcs are too concerned about a few extra thousand pounds to pay!

Btw… Is this in their manifesto? Can you link to it please?

pulling out of the European Defence Fund

Is this in their manifesto? Can you link to it please?

cancelling our human rights act

Is this in their manifesto? Can you link to it please?

repealing the Equalities

Is this in their manifesto? Can you link to it please?

“scrapping” the BBC

As I already said, it’s the licence fee, not the BBC. The licence fee is unfit for 2026 and it should be scrapped.

stopping the boats (any method that really does it will be basically either impossible or illegal)

How is that a “putin policy”? Russia are the ones behind it - look at Baltic/Russian borders for illegal crossings facilitated by Russia and Belarus. Not a Russia friendly policy at all. You’re wrong.

defending our borders (more insular isolationism is what Putin really loves)

Listen to yourself. Which country in the world doesn’t defend their borders? Wrong

deporting illegal migrants (which would quickly become an ICE-style scandal deporting natives who look different and dwarf the Windrush scandal)

How tiresome. Is that Russia friendly? No. Wrong again!

  I’ll save you replying to my requests for linkage. You were likely referencing their 2024 manifesto. I still disagree that those are “Puitin policies”, we clearly have different viewpoints and won’t persuade one another.
