Step up Reform Party ?

[capfits]

Who would be interested in forming a coalition with them though?

In the unlikely event that they do manage to secure any seats at all, it will only be because the Tory numbers have been reduced to double figures. They will not be big enough to form a coalition govt with anyone, and nobody else would touch Tice’s toxic lot with a barge pole.

You could say I was being tounge in cheek.
I for one do not think they will get anymore than 1 MP, but of course I may well be wrong.
And yes there is only one party that will go into coalition with them, the very same Conservative and Unionist party that is apeing Reform from time to time. The irony being the more they do it they're it damages their prospects.
The gun has not even gone yet but after its predecessor UKIP choose not to stand against the Brexiteers types then one could see a similar move again on say some other strange reason one way migration or something who knows?
After all it is no cheap contesting an election with limited resources if nothing else.

Minimum rate of 15% vat plus a few things can be reduced.

Electric, Gas, Fuel Domestique are 5%.
Wasn't one of the reasons for leaving that you could reduce VAT on household bills? Did they?

 

[Hindsight]

That's surprising in a Catholic country

Thought France is a secular country

Is that a bit like saying you now have control of ALL your borders?

Sorry, couldn’t resist

That was in place when we were in the EU.
Has the VAT rate been reduced on anything here since, as was promised would be a 'Brexit Bonus'?

No it wasn't, apart from a few things the EU has a minimum rate of 15% for Vat, wasn't the vat on sanitary products reduced ? Not sure when that was done though.

January 2021. All the benefit was absorbed by retailers and manufacturer. Retail price didn’t change. Google to pick up the reports at the time.

Typical retailers then but the Vat was changed which we couldn't have done before we left

The reality being that Westminster(the electorate)is now responsible for what happens at uk borders whereas previously this was not the case.

But I never said why you were failing to control your borders. To me failure is failure

UK was lied to. It now "chooses to be poorer"

Whilst France follows the EU rules on VAT compliance, it is still free to set its own standard (upper) VAT rate.

We're not failing, you seem seem to associate the word "control" with a reduction in immigration.
The government (the electorate) is responsible/has control over what happens at our borders.

First is first and second is nowhere.
You must be so disappointed on a regular basis.

Well.
It made me laugh.
