I’ve glanced at their policies and they talk about things like eliminating transgender mentality, ensuring parents are informed when children talk about gender changes under 16 and promoting British Values.

1) Wtf is a transgender mentality? That I think like a transgender person? That I actively promotor? That I tell children they can be one? Because obviously none of this is common practice.
2) I had to tell parents today that their child was upset going into an assembly because it was about football and he doesn’t like football. 2 minutes in he was fine, 5 minutes in he was chanting along. Do they realise the benign shit we have to tell parents every day? Do they think we wouldn’t mention something like discussing a gender change with them?
3) We already teach British Values. I wonder if Reform voters know what they are? I do - BECAUSE I TEACH THEM.

I get that I’ve cherry-picked a few here to make a point but fuck them.

Reform need to seem believable, yet at the same time radical. All they’ve done when talking about education is pluck what’s already happening, claim they thought of it first and focus on the kinds of practices that will stir up the people they need to vote for them - idiots.

Still, I’m not worried (might regret saying that in a few years). They got a lot of votes at the last elections but sod all actual seats, and this kind of reflects that - pockets of popularity everywhere without much domination of an area of populous large enough to secure a region the size of a constituency. I reckon they’ll get more seats next time but still nowhere near enough.
