'They might affect what a Labour government would actually do in power', Andrew Marr tells his listeners.
This comes as Reform UK's Nigel Farage vowed to fix 'broken Britain' after he launched the party's election 'contract'.
Andrew Marr then speaks to Reform UK's chairman Richard Tice, in order to grasp some of the main components of the 'contract', which include:
- All non-essential immigration frozen
- All Illegal migrants to the UK will be detained and deported or returned to France.
- Raise income tax threshold to £20k
- Rid the NHS of waiting lists
- Tax breaks for doctors and nurses
- Scrap energy levies, net zero plans and instead use Britain's oil and gas reserves.

Marr said "They (Reform) could be responsible for the Conservatives losing a huge number of extra seats". The Conservatives are responsible for all of their own demise!
-
I hope Reform cause an upset. Labour and the Conservatives are such a let down.
-
I was just talking to busdriver who told me: 'All the drivers are saying their passengers are talking about Reform' So, something is happening....
-
We in the Reform UK Party Will Prove All The Pundits Wrong. Reform UK WILL BE IN OUR PARLIAMENT Fighting for the Working Classes. Unlike Labour & Conservatives
-
There are 650 MPs at Westminster and 640 of them refused to attend and participate in the commons debates on the excessive deaths and sufferings of British people, our people!
-
Reform UK Will Become The Party Of The People in our UK Parliament. ❤

This sums up the media. Richard Tice comes out with many extremely valid point: regarding Net Zero. This interviewer is trying to play ‘gotcha’ rather than have a conversation. We’re sick of this type of media coverage
-
Rather than have solar farms, give it to homeowners for their roofs. They did for council tenants! Reform Party talk common sense 👏
-
Yet they never ban private jets or super yachts ,strange that.
-
I wasn't going to going to put my name to ANY party this year, & was going to put my voting card through my shredder...UNTIL I heard about Reform UK's manifesto. I will take a chance on Nigel and give his party my vote!
-
Tice ran circles around ignorant Marr. Vote Reform, the only party with logical policies.
-
Hold a referendum on pursuit of net zero. Let the people decide if they want to pay more on elec bills for no benefit at all...
-
Look at the plastic industry. Look at how we pretend to recycle.
-
For me, it doesn't matter what your take is on any party... democratically we need two things to change in the UK. We need to change how the media cover parties and the percentages of coverage they get, and we need to change the FPTP voting system to stop this being a red/blue race forevermore.
-
Andrew Marr you do not care or know about the ordinary people in this country.
-
Climatic cycles are a fact. He doesn't dispute we may be facilitating a natural event. He's saying the way we go about it is wrong.
-
Agreed 100% with Richard. Don't understand why do people do not see this
-
Marr doesn’t have a clue what a £2500 utility bill on top of £1800 council tax feels like when you earn 22k a year. If cutting the net zero nonsense enables me to not worry about being warm at winter and raising the tax threshold to 20k so be it. Marr earns a packet and fair play to him but he just won’t get what it’s like from the bottom end, if he wants to pay my bills he’s welcome to but if not I will be voting reform. I’m sick of the two main parties offering nothing different.
-
We need to reverse privatisation on water, gas, oil and electricity companies as they have been brought up by European companies and making money by over pricing, nationalising the companies again is the only way forward.
-
So Andrew wants us to continue to martyr ourselves?
