For a working family with kids and a mortgage to pay, 5% inflation and mortgage rates of 7-8% are existential. They've already cancelled the holiday, cut the takeaway, and given up on Netflix. They cannot afford more. Lives will be ruined. Why has the Bank of England increased interest rates and mortgage repayments? Because Labour is sending prices through the roof – now estimated to be 5% by January. Mad policies like net zero and Labour's taxes and regulations are increasing the price of everything. The Bank raises interest rates to get on top of that incompetence. And it's working families, not politicians who really suffer. Honestly, the old parties in Westminster just don't get it. The Tories don't even mention the Cost of Living – I guess it doesn't affect them or their friends. And Labour don't care about you unless you’re on benefits, and they're too busy with nonsense like banning smoky bacon crisps. This madness can't go on! Any competent government that cared about people would do the obvious. Cut people's bills with common-sense policies. Within 100 Days, Reform would: •⁠ ⁠Scrap net zero subsidies and price-raising policies •⁠ ⁠⁠Eliminate Labour's jobs tax for British workers •⁠ ⁠⁠End the mad policies that are driving up rents and the cost of doing business •⁠ ⁠⁠Give the average working family £1300 in tax breaks and lower fuel costs. We don't need to keep getting poorer. Let's cut bills instead!
