As Nigel Farage launched Reform UK’s “contract” — not a manifesto, he maintains — today in South Wales, the would-be Reform-voting Right-wing youth were scouring the document for policies aimed at them.
It seems they liked the gist of it, but they want more. So, what are they demanding? Beyond a “Reform Youth” wing, the Reform Zoomers have asked that the party “restore the Ukip promise to abolish tuition fees for STEM subjects, remove interest rates on tuition fees, and remove the Graduate route on student visas.”
In addition, the youth want to smoke. “Reform UK must repeal the smoking and vaping bans, and commit to no funding of any organisation which aims to curtail our speech and our ability to express our views.” Let the kids have fun again!

SubscribeI’m pretty sure a “Sex & drugs & rock’n’roll” section in the Reform contract would capture a lot of the younger vote.
That might not be a particularly conservative/traditional viewpoint but I’m all in favour of relaxing the nanny state.
Let kids be kids…
I could tell you some stories from my teens and twenties! 🙂
