Reform UK threatening to punish areas that don't vote Reform

John Rayson102

"This is an important lesson in democratic consent"... I think he might have that backwards! If you dont want a concentration camp near you, you had better vote for the people who want to build them. Orwellian double think 🤔

Jo 🕊️65

I don’t know what’s worse: that he thought this was the right thing to say or that he thinks it’ll appeal to people. I’m heartbroken that this is happening in our country I’ll say it again, anyone voting Reform knows what they stand for. No excuses Farage’s fascist project started with Brexit 1/2

Carol Hedges53

Now you see how the Nazis did it. The slow drip drip Of hate. The lack of any opposition to it. The manipulation of the media .. the tolerance of hate. Millions will be rejoicing at this.

Paul Russell42

I think we’ve been shown enough now - lies, crypto donations, ugly political threats, extremist policies, global far right connections, naked racism - to know that these people intend to bring the full range of MAGA-style corruption, chaos and hatred to the UK. There’s still time to stop them.

Peter Welsh39

When Zia is on #bbcqt next week I hope someone in the audience challenges him over this revolting Reform cobblers.

Dawn D31

My jaw has just hit the floor. They can't be allowed to get away with that surely!

Robby_red28

They’re obviously worried by the rise of the greens and their taking of some of the anti-establishment vote

PeteGulls24

This is Nazi level stuff. Yusuf should pay a heavy price.

Joe St Clair-Ford24

They're going to charge your nan £30k for a hip op while giving billions to their donors to build and run concentration camps for people who are legally in the country working, thus also trashing the economy but it's okay because you can punish the people who vote for the other team.

Clive22

Zia Yusuf is a vile bastard who most in Reform would deport and not give him the time of day if he didn’t have money

András Forgács W22

I'm heartened that Reform UK is now using the Fidesz playbook, which worked out so great*

Bill Thompson20

But surely all those Reform voters keen to work as prison guards will want an easy commute to work? I’m assuming there are a lot of them who’d like a free uniform and sone power

Lizzy Mary19

F*r*ge obviously doesn’t enjoy scrutiny as much as publicity and the wheels are starting to come off. His Thai based paymaster probably not happy either to have his name plastered over the news regularly. True colours emerging but anyone with sense knew this bullying would be coming.

Snigdha15

The Reform party are arguably in breach of s114A of the Representation of the People Act 1983 (undue influence). www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1983/2...

Dan.G 🇬🇧🇪🇺13

Zia should remember that they would put him in one of these detention centres one day... He should remember some wose words from Terry Pratchett; "Never build a dungeon you wouldn't be happy to spend the night in yourself. The world would be a happier place if more people remembered that."

Chris Smith12

Where are all the apologists who said these people are not fascists? They seem very quiet these days?

rmcl82.bsky.social12

The logical conclusion of profoundly divisive “us and them” politics. Actually scratch that - just a beginning rather than an end.

Jem Condliffe11

He’s admitting (1) they won’t win a landslide, cos he can’t avoid Reform seats if they’re mostly Reform (think Minesweeper) (2) the Greens are the biggest threat and will win a lot of seats, or he’d not have the option of selection (3) they’re so frightened of the Greens they need to make threats.

Jazzaoxon11

The danger by Reform will be slashing the NHS and slashing public services. The Reform leader has promised.

D.Moore10

‘By establishing camps there, the Nazis aimed to implement their policies close to the population they intended to destroy.’ polandatwartours.com/why-were-mos...

AngelM1610

I was undecided (tactical voter) but I might vote Green specifically to stick a middle finger up to them now.

Gill West9

Utterly grim and the same playbook as the worst sort of race-baiting of the Enoch Powell era. And the same Zia Yusuf now appears to occupy Farage’s permanent seat on QT, with his smarmy grin & slippery innuendos. Reform are dangerous, divisive charlatans backed big money: this won’t end well.

Bryn Buck 🏳️‍🌈💛🤍💜🖤9

Presumably Yusuf *is* aware he will be sent to one of these camps as soon as Farage has enough power to shed the brown faces from his movement without being called out as a racist. Shades of Röhm here.

Chris Turner9

So kind-of a mafia model then?

Sir Tom (never had a blue tick)🐧🇪🇺🇬🇧8

'Kin hell. Has he ever looked in a mirror?

Trish7

I would hope we’re better than this. But many of us aren’t.

Sarah or, often, Saraaaargh!7

But... I thought they've been telling us they will win with a landslide so where will be left to house these concentration camps?

Laura7

Conservatives campaigned exactly like this in the 1960's--vote Labour, get a black neighbour. Awful stuff. Plus since immigration has fallen, Reform don't have that to scream about, so this is the horrible but inevitable next step in their march to fascism.

Dr Negrin's Victory Pills6

This has to be illegal under electoral law, it's a direct threat against people wanting to vote for another party. Undue influence and intimidation. I've written to the @electoralcommission.org.uk to complain, and I suggest others do too.

Mike6

Can I just say as a GP member (in case few hadn’t noticed) - bring it on!! Reform peddle fear, nastiness and division. The Green Party offer hope, kindness and unity. It’s why I’m a GP member Refugees need to be housed while claims are processed - I’m sure they’d prefer a welcoming area

Rob Weaver6

Okay. That's just increased my chances of voting Green then.

Travellersuzy6

Good God. They have no shame 🤬

Phil Leighton6

Reform’s “Those who are not with us are against us” policy.

redditchgirl.bsky.social6

Definitely would not be a government for everyone. Just their own supporters - disgraceful 😡

Chronic Historian ♾️♿️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️💜🖤💛🦓🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🍉🐺🐈‍⬛🧑‍🌾🌱🌳5

Straight out of the Nazi playbook. Remember, they were always keen to have concentration camps out of their supporter communities because even people who are all about pretty awful things don’t like having the reality of that shoved in their faces. That might make them remember compassion.

ChrisMcS525

Deform revealing true colours - menacing message. This is not who we are, do not be fooled by these self serving charlatans.

geojl.bsky.social5

Disgusting people! Tories ‘punished’ Labour councils with underfunding. This is worse. This is an open threat to vote Reform or else. My postal vote is in. I voted Green. It was the correct decision. Reform can f*** off!

Persenon5

So he plans to build detention centers in neighborhoods where people would be eager to break into them and free the prisoners? I’m not sure he’s thought this through.

Dave M4

I can't help but think that with a little thought and creativity, this could be an open goal for the green party. Reform think they're being cute and clever, but in reality it doesn't even qualify as A level politics....

annmayevans.bsky.social4

Look at USA that’s what reform ‘s party is supported by Trump . An army like ICE on the streets rounding up who they like and concentration camps . It’s a one only policy that doesn’t lead to any improvement for the ordinary citizens . BEWARE.

Reform controlled area , council tax spent marking territory with flags on lamp posts , notwithstanding that the local economy is dependent on overseas sourced labour .

Merry Christmas, as in the other place.4

Oswald Mosely? The sad thing is these small towns and villages will suck this up. They were the ones that brought us Brexit, they will be the ones that bring us a ReformUK Government.

Alexander Hay4

As I pointed out in another post, it also breaches Section 114a of the Representation of the People Act. ('Undue Influence.').In other words, this is a criminal offence. www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1983/2...

lightenup.bsky.social4

That sounds like an implied threat, meaning it might be a police matter 😳

James3

Nail and coffin comes to mind. I've been working around the country for decades and there's no way on earth that anyone is bum rushing into communities and snatching swathes of citizens without a fight or riot breaking out. Agitation is all these wankers know, they haven't the brains to govern.

Rob Baron3

Vote Reform, get pound shop Trump. Politics that prioritises the persecution of political opponents above any consideration of what is good for the country.

Pete Lewis3

I look forward to Reform voters' warm acceptance of being stripped of their rights protected by the ECHR given how they support the removal of them. The government should opt them out of those rights before any further elections commence.

Andrew Cherry3

Putting aside the massive racism just for a moment, if they're not allowed to leave the detention centre, why would it be a problem to live near one? Does he know what a prison is? People live near those too. The bigotry is shameful, the lack of logic is just embarrassing.

Peter Keane3

Many will want this. Fascism has always appealed to people who 'can't be bothered with Politics cos they're all the same'. The idea of Democracy being about 'Rights' AND 'Responsibilities' means it's all too much. They would rather just be told that none of its their fault,it's all due to 'Others'!

A_Nurse__🇮🇪 🇪🇺3

Why would a Reform government need lots of migrant detention centres They'd have stopped the boats No?

Michael ᚋᚔᚉᚆᚓᚐᚂ3

The camps will be in Poland, not the Reich.

Jacques Gallagher3

This is Trumpian authoritarianism. Reform doesn't want to help the country just its donors and supporters. www.theguardian.com/politics/202... www.theguardian.com/politics/202... www.theguardian.com/politics/202... www.desmog.com/2026/04/30/r... www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Dougie Taylor3

This kind of campaigning has got to be illegal surely. Trumpesque threats to the electorate by Reform Limited. Are they a political party or an organised crime gang involving money laundering and corruption? Difficult to tell really.

Tony3

This is a Trump tactic. DeformUK are importing Trump tactics.

DarvitWendy2

Truly appalling Rarely is the content more awful than the headline

Loping ted2

Straight out of Trumpton Vote reform Or get punished? will they withdraw funding to constituencies that don’t follow the reform party line ? The writing is on the wall

Peter H2

This is beyond disgusting. An out and out threat. Hang on, on reflection, I wouldn't have expected anything else from this bunch of rascist low lifes

D.Moore2

A Reform govt stripping our rights demonising immigrants and defunding social care/arts would clearly be met by mass protests in cities like Brighton & Bristol. Quite handy for them to have massive detention centres nearby

Verity Imelda Player2

Wait so if we vote Green we get all the chefs, hospital porters, delivery lads, dusties, doctors and other assorted not-quite-Brits who do the useful work, housed in our neighborhood?? #VOTEGREEN!!

Michele2

They’ve gone full Trump which is interesting when you see just how unpopular he is in the UK.

Catio Miles2

So if various constituencies will get what they want, can those areas such as London, Oxford, Cambridge, etc, can they join the EU as they want it?

marg67.bsky.social2

Is this actually for real ? Youless thinks he's the Stephen Miller of the UK .Vile little man living in a fantasy world that he thinks people who vote for Reform like people who look like him .

David Burrows, Antifa Armadillo2

Trump’s playbook. And see how that’s playing out. Reform is not serious about government. It doesn’t care about you. It’s a petulant and puerile party full of (in the pockets of) tax-dodging grifters and conscienceless bigots. It doesn’t want responsibility, it wants power. VOTE GREEN. #votegreen

~<《🅕🅛🅨》>~2

Scare tactics. I was already worried. I wonder who's already getting the contracts. It's all about the grift, just like in America, millions spent destroying neighbourhoods.

It’s the Putin Trump playbook all over again. Orban used to espouse similar rhetoric but look what high levels of voting did for him Get out and vote - tactically if necessary.

hubertlaneite.bsky.social2

Hear hear well said… and old Tory ,now deform ,Laura is a farridge cheerleader in every snide sneer she elucidates… follow the money

Amias Channer2

The specific addition to humanity that the English became world famous for was that level of brutal thuggery. We also became famous for giving it up but obviously none of these modern fascists understand history

Thunderclap Noonan2

Swap the Greens for Labour and you have this hideous propaganda.

Steph2

This will only appeal to those already voting reform - giving them that little bit of glee they can ‘stick it to the greens’. For everyone else, let’s see just how well people respond to threats !

CKB 🇮🇪🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 ☘️.....🖕🏻2

Taco-lite importing more ideas from the US...

Stevie D2

There's always been an element of "looking after our own", but Sunak was widely thought to have gone too far when he promised the harrumphing folk of Tunbridge Wells lower taxes by cutting funding to deprived areas. This level of threatening, bullying and blackmailing is several steps beyond.

Colin2

Reform has another new 'policy'. If you don't vote Reform, a fat, bald bloke with tattoos will push dog-shit through your letter box.

David H2

I've just switched on the news channels expecting this to be leading the bulletins but nothing yet. I expect they will catch up soon!!!

Neil Martin2

Pretty clear why reform want to the UK to leave the ECHR. Building concentration camps in council areas they don't control speaks volumes of their intents to follow the US in destroying the rule of law.

Andy2

Racist white supremacist Trump playbook - identical. Sad and deeply bleak if 20% UK falling for it - oh humanity

Jennie Kermode2

Oh, we've seen it before. But Moseley didn't get invited on the BBC five times a week.

Ady whitwell2

Straight out of the trump playbook

I have just complained to the Electoral Commission aboot Reform/Zia Yusuf threatening Green Voting areas with Detention/Concerntration Camps under 'Undue Influence' Contact us online | Electoral Commission share.google/Idfcudy8tx79...

Reform are running scared of how well the Greens are doing, they're actively trying to put people off of voting Green. You are a credible threat to their power grab! Keep up the good work 👏👏👏 #VoteGreen #NeverReform

Farage is a Putin/Thiel/Trump/Musk op. Give them no quarter. Crush fascism.

Antifa, since I was born5

Farage accepted £5m which he said was to pay for security, so how many surgeries has he held since being elected? After all he has the money to make them very safe. I genuinely believe it's a number between zero and none.

mrsmalone.bsky.social5

Yup and I noticed he did not turn up at Laura K’s show on Sunday. I wonder why?

Gxro68835

He’s brought us Brexit and he’s Trump aligned. There’s nothing else that I need to know to never vote for them.

Siôn Jobbins5

True 👏 but in South Wales Valleys 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 seats vote @plaidcymru.bsky.social to stop Reform being the biggest party in Senedd. Greens won't win seats there (don't reach threshold of 12%) but Plaid majority in Senedd will give Greens real leverage with seats they'll win in Cardiff, Newport.

seafoodscoffer.bsky.social4

Reform are now laying bare who they are. No ifs, no buts. Unlike Brexit there will be no excuse that Reform voters were misled, because the plans for concentration camps are laid bare here for all to see.

CharmaineScammell 🌱🇬🇧🇺🇦4

#FarageForeignIncomes UK’s highest-earning MP, pays NO TAX. Nearly £2million income & gifts since elected Clacton MP. Cash mix of sources ie GBNews £664,000 to BigTech Co's £47,000+ Overseas interests, incl foreign govts. No such thing as a free lunch!⬇️ substack.com/@writesbrigh... #SamBright

David Nice4

Just vote strategically, though, so there's no chance of Reform getting a look in. Zia Yousef has just said he wants big concentration camps- but not in Reform constituencies...

Felix O'Kelly4

Reform is so openly corrupt that it's horrific. To voting Green!

Gorilla Republic4

Put my postal vote in two weeks ago. 3 x Greens 👍👍👍
