The insanity of war https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2026/03/04/the-insanity-of-war/ This was a day when fantasy met reality. The Office for Budget Responsibility's absurd claims came up hard against the reality of Zionist-inspired aggression and lost heavily.

So will we. Have no doubt about it. This ware is going to be very costly. Neoliberals are out of ideas. War is one of the few things they have left that they can imagine doing to sustain themselves in power. We will all pay a very heavy price for that.

Reform is planning the destruction of well-being of people, communities, ways of life and, quite candidly, this country as it has always been - which is a small island state that has always offered a welcome to people coming and going, adding value when they decide to stay and make this their home, in all the rich diversity that we have to offer. Literally, what Farage is planning is to tear us apart. https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2026/02/23/farage-wants-to-tear-us-apart/
