Today Worcestershire, tomorrow the country?

Nigel Farage’s Reform party took over Worcestershire County Council promising to ‘reduce waste and cut taxes’.

Now they are increasing council tax by nine per cent, Mr Farage wishes they hadn’t won control of the county because it was already bankrupt and the massive increase isn’t his party’s fault.

Today Worcestershire… tomorrow the whole country? In a few years’ time Prime Minister Farage may be revealing record tax rises for the whole of Britain and accusing other people for his failure:

‘Don’t blame me for the financial crisis. We just inherited it from those terrible Tories and that awful Labour lot.’

This week, he said: ‘Worcestershire, I have to say, we took minority control of a virtually bankrupt council, I wish we hadn't bothered.’

I do hope we don’t hear him saying much the same thing on the steps of 10 Downing Street in due course.
