    Sorry to say but unless UK is on the same wage level as the more recent EU members, unified market wont bring any good to ordinaty people. Germanies companies are currently outsourcing the scarce jobs we have to poland, romania, estonia. You only subsidize those countries and in 20 years nothing came back of it as EU only ever adds poorer countries to their members.

    Sir Ed told the Lib Dem faithful “the difference between us and Reform” is that “their tax cut is paid for through cruelty.”

    I think that there might be a wee few other differences. I mean, I get that he’s targeting the big chunk of people who are saying that they’re gonna vote Reform in the next general election, and those people probably are more favorable towards Reform than I am, but seriously…

    How to get conservative votes :

    1. Promise them more money

    I don’t think the Lib Dems will follow step 2 though :

    1. Say bigoted shit
