Steve Baker and Harry Richer are joined by Joanna Marchong, Maxwell Marlow, and Ted Newson to go inside the Reform conference and break down the party's welfare reform plans, its brownfield housing proposals, and its energy policy pledges on net zero and the capacity market. From the £80bn welfare and fiscal cuts to the housing crisis facing young people, this episode of The Free Future Review unpacks what Reform UK actually announced in Birmingham, how it compares to Labour's welfare reform under Andy Burnham, and whether Britain's spending, tax and energy problems can really be fixed within 100 days of government.📰 More articles and video: voices.fightingforafreefuture.com🛒 Merch: shop.fightingforafreefuture.com📧 Advertise or partner: [email protected]
