Reform targets Labour ‘red wall’ voters
Reform UK chairman Richard Tice (left) and party leader Nigel Farage launch 'Our Contract with You' in Merthyr Tydfil while on the General Election campaign trail, June 17, 2024
Focus on equal access to assisted death rather than risks of legalisation for oppressed groups wrongheaded, MPs and campaigners say
REFORM started targeting Labour “red wall” voters today as the hard-right party launched its reactionary election manifesto in Wales.
The party’s owner and leader Nigel Farage went to Merthyr Tydfil, once represented by Labour pioneer Keir Hardie, to tell voters that “Labour is not very different to the Conservatives … it is just more incompetent.”
And he restated his aim of being the main challenger to Labour for government by 2029, likely date of the next general election following July 4.
