The Tories are trying to make Reform look good for some reason
The failing Conservatives are trying a new tactic against Reform, and it’s to…
*DRUM ROLL*
…suggest that Farage and Co support the most popular policy position in the UK:
‘So you’re willing to make claims about Reform that you can’t substantiate?’
@Lewis_Goodall challenges Tory MP Chris Philp’s claim that Reform wants to ‘nationalise everything that moves’. pic.twitter.com/KjkWi2AXdJ— LBC (@LBC) February 1, 2026
If it moves, we can nationalise it (no, Reform did not say that)
In the video above, Toy Chris Philp says:
In their manifesto, the last election, they proposed nationalising everything that moved
A confused Lewis Goodall asked Philp:
apart from steel, what else did they want to nationalise that you disagree with?
Philp struggled to answer this, prompting Goodall to say:
Kemi Badenoch is saying that you’re both parties on the right, on the radical right, really. So I’m just trying to understand ideologically… the differences between you
Once again, Philp had no answer when it came to nationalisation.
The yankification of the British right continues. Even copying their parties’ tactic of accusing each other of being communists when neither could be more pro-capitalism if they tried. https://t.co/jI2QHqvoP8

Here’s the thing, though, the concept of nationalisation is actually incredibly popular in the UK:
Toryism is over
So, why is Philp arguing that Reform are in favour of this popular policy?
It’s because these politicians never interact with normal people.
They have no idea what your or I think, and when they’re pushed on any point, they immediately crumble.
For years the mainstream media carried them, but now the cracks in their ideology are beginning to tear the Tories apart.
Oh, and on a side note, ‘Philp’ is an incredibly unsatisfying word to say out loud or even look at. Visually it looks like a misspelling of ‘Philip’; audibly it’s the sound of dripping paint.
