IT is clear for all to see that Sir Keir Starmer and his Government can’t stop talking about Reform UK.
Up until just a few weeks ago, the Prime Minister had not mentioned us once in the House of Commons.

Since that moment, Labour MPs have been on the attack.
But it is not the Conservative Party they have in their sights, it’s Reform.
The answer for this is very simple.
Labour are terrified of us — and so they should be.
We have all the momentum in British politics, we are leading in the polls and we are putting the British people first.
There is no clearer example of this than Reform’s stance on Labour’s Net Zero lunacy.
As our industries continue to close down and workers are scarified at the altar of green policies, only Reform are here to tell the truth about why.
Net Zero is deindustrialising Britain.
This country needs to change direction — and quickly.
Once a proud industrial nation who by 1970 saw 25 per cent of all jobs engaged in the manufacturing sector, we are now evermore reliant on imports of goods that are manufactured abroad than ever before.
The rot really started with the last series of Conservative governments.
How smug our ruling classes felt in 2019 when under Theresa May they enshrined into law (without a manifesto commitment) for the United Kingdom to reach Net Zero emissions by 2050.
And so accelerated the subsidised madness of building both onshore and offshore wind turbines in huge numbers.
Then, as Prime Minister, Boris Johnson told us he wanted Britain to become the Saudi Arabia of wind — an ambition that has had very serious consequences.
Most companies that own these wind farms are foreign, and nearly all of the materials used, such as blades, are manufactured elsewhere, especially in China.
And where are the panels for solar energy manufactured? You guessed it, China again.
The result has been hugely increased energy bills as our taxpayers subsidise these loss-making industries.
Labour’s energy boss, Ed Miliband, wants us to go even further despite all the evidence that suggests we are making a grave and historic mistake.
As a result, we have the most expensive industrial energy prices in the world, making our manufacturing industries totally uncompetitive.
We are quite simply living through an industrial massacre.
INDUSTRIAL MASSACRE
Just think that, in the past few years, all of our aluminium smelting has gone.
Chemical production has been drastically reduced.
Our steelmaking industry now barely exists.
Cement-making has all but gone offshore.
And the great British car industry is in terminal decline.
Our car manufacturers not only have to put up with energy bills up to six times higher than in the USA, but now also must live with a series of Net Zero regulations and targets.
Just in the past few months, we’ve seen a thousand jobs lost in Luton.
And now the historic Mini Cooper plant in Oxford, which has been in existence since before World War One, is in very serious danger too.
If Net Zero targets are not changed then by 2030 up to one million British jobs in car manufacturing could simply disappear.
This is the future Keir Starmer has planned for workers in this country.
The impact on your household bills is obvious, too.
The election pledge of reducing those bills by £300 was never going to be true — something I pointed out at the time.

By April, your household bills will have risen by at least 18 per cent since last year’s election.
Yet neither Labour nor the Conservatives dare to have this conversation with you.
They have been joined at the hip in their desire to move us as quickly as possible toward their doomed zero emission targets.
The reality is, we have not just been exporting jobs, but emissions too.
Those very household goods that we need are manufactured in India and China, under much lower environmental standards than ours, then simply shipped back to us.
The whole thing is lunacy.
Reform UK will scrap the Net Zero targets, exploit our huge gas resources creating tens of thousands of well- paid jobs, and make the UK energy independent.
In an increasingly dangerous world with the war in Ukraine, our energy security matters.
It would also give us much lower prices.
A clever use of tax incentives would see manufacturing bases being rebuilt in the United Kingdom — some by British companies, others by foreign investors.
This is the first step towards how we turn our country around.
Reform UK has a plan to reindustrialise Britain.
No wonder Labour are panicking.
