Good luck to him getting the Civil Service department I work for back in the office full time. Our office in Birmingham barely had enough room for staff three times a week let alone five.

We had a message asking staff to consider coming in Monday's and Fridays due to the fighting for desks during the middle of the week.

I was involved with the construction of the States of Jersey's new central offices. It was purposely designed not to accommodate all of the office employees as WFH is actively encouraged where applicable.
 
I work at Wolverhampton City Council. We go into the office on a Tuesday. The council now rents out the 2nd floor to the University

don't let him pick his battles is the answer.
we've allowed him a pedestal on QT and related programmes for far too long. It has given his views the appearance of legitimacy, where if we didn't publicise them, they'd be fringe views at best.

That ship has sailed. Failing to engage now will just embolden their supporters. Their policies are an incoherent mess of un-costed wishful thinking and things they will never be able to implement. That needs to be aired as widely and loudly as possible, not challenging it won’t make it go away.
 
Ok, let's go with the second part of Farage's comments as being fact. There's areas of Derby, Leicester, Bradford and Birmingham and I'm sure most other large cities where there are significant parts that resemble a City in Asia rather than the traditional UK in terms of it's population make up and culture. Ratcliffe thinks that's a bad thing. Doesn't matter for the point of my next question whether that's correct or not, but what are you going to do about it? You can have a Britain First agenda which breaks International Law in numerous ways, so a none runner, you can scream assimilation, but that doesn't mean anything practically, you can have a hard line approach on immigration, but that'll make no difference to those areas. So all it really boils down to is a dog whistle, which is Reform in a nutshell.

From Ratcliffe's interview:

"Ratcliffe compared the changes he had made at Manchester United, including mass layoffs and the appointment and subsequent sacking of Ruben Amorim, to running the country. He told Sky News he had been “unpopular” but that the changes were starting to pay off.

“But you’ve got all the same issues with the country. If you really want to deal with the major issues of immigration, with people opting to take benefits rather than working for a living,” he said, the government was “going to have to do some things which are unpopular, and show some courage”."

So penalise those living closest to poverty, and do nothing about the millionaires not contributing enough. Gotcha.

JR lives in Monaco for tax purposes, and takes state aid to support his firm. Disgusting leech, can't stand the man, his methods or opinions.
 
It's no coincidence that Farage and the German Chancellor Merz use almost identical language on "work-life balance", WFH, essentially labeling people as lazy despite neither of these cunts having done a day of real work. They're framing the welfare state as unaffordable so they can dismantle it, whilst busily continuing to transfer wealth from bottom to top. Unfortunately people are buying it

I wonder how these leeches are going to "sack" people who's crime is living.

Facts About Benefits & Immigration
Yesterday, Sir Jim Ratcliffe claimed the UK has been "colonised by immigrants" and that we can't have "nine million people on benefits and huge levels of immigrants coming in."
As someone who works with benefit claimants every single day, I need to share the actual government statistics:
📊 Universal Credit (June 2025 - Official DWP Data):

83.6% of claimants are British or Irish nationals (6.6 million people)
16.4% are non-UK/Irish nationals (1.3 million people)

That 16.4% includes:

EU workers on low wages (many employed)
Refugees rebuilding their lives
People with settled status who've been here for years
Ukrainian families fleeing war

The reality Sir Jim didn't mention:
Most people on Universal Credit are BRITISH. Many are working - 34% of UC claimants are employed but on low wages. Others are carers, disabled, or between jobs. That's not "opting out of work" - that's real life.
In my work, I support people from all backgrounds. British. European. African. Asian. What unites them? They all want the same thing - dignified work and a better future.
When wealthy individuals living in Monaco criticise people struggling to make ends meet in Aberdeen, it shows how disconnected they are from reality.
We don't fix the economy by dividing people. We fix it by supporting everyone who wants to work.
 
He could make his own contribution to keeping the benefits bill a microscopic bit lower by not gutting entire departments at his football club of employees, but hey, there is no cure for being a cunt.
 
"Some bloke said this week that we are being colonised by immigration.

This is the data in Cymru, from the 2021 census.

(Please note, everyone who lives in Wales is welcome here, has a stake here and can call themselves Welsh if, as Gwynfor Evans said, they are prepared to take the consequences)".

Following criticism of comments on immigration by billionaire Manchester United co-owner Jim Ratcliffe, Reform UK leader Nigel Farage posted a video on X with the words “Jim Ratcliffe is right”.

In the video, external, Farage claims “one million people living in this country don’t speak any English at all”.

He made a similar claim on the BBC’s Political Thinking podcast, telling Nick Robinson: “You look at the last census, there’s a million living in Britain don’t speak English.”

The claim that one million people don’t speak any English is incorrect.

Every decade, the Office for National Statistics runs a census of people living in England and Wales which gathers information on a range of topics including languages.

According to the 2021 census, external:

  • 161,000 people in England and Wales “could not speak English at all” - about 0.3% of the population
  • 880,000 people (1.5% of the population) “could not speak English well"
Combining these figures gets you to just over one million - but that’s not the total number of people who don’t speak English “at all”

As per bbc verify.
Farage said this when interviewed by nick Robinson & again on twitter.
Obvs twitter is a propaganda cesspit, but Robinson didn't hold him to account for the statement.
