Being a tad economical with the chronology here mate Immigration was not the reason for the interpretation - myth suggests there’s no evidence. That’s not true. Early 2025 @reformparty_uk shifted in rhetoric, direction and appeal. Before we stat it’s best to not forget Farage publicly distanced himself from the Contract with the People around May and tore it up by November that year You had the start of purging of elements of the party, so ideological ruptures were widening. Don’t forget just before you had Nigel Farage famously declaring that mass deportations were a "literal impossibility" and a "political impossibility" and Richard Tice’s “that lot” comment. On top of that, Reform in March 2025 distanced itself from the AfD and the National Front. Then came the Lowe departure and opposition to mass deportations line and don’t forget Elon Musk’s comments about a Farage not being up for it. Also early 2025 saw a startling u-turn on Shamima Begum returning to the UK. The biggest shift was in economics. Reform abandoned Thatcherite economics for economic populism, focusing on public services, pouring billions into the NHS, nationalisation, state-supported job protection. Limited foreign-ownership and high state intervention proposals The one that blew rightwing credibility out the water was in May when Farage backed scrapping the two-child benefit cap. It was only in August they added the British bit for damage control. Call it going to the Left, softening position, moving centre whatever, in 2025 #ReformUK moves positions that can be read in a certain angle
