The Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) has criticized the Reform and Greens parties for their refusal to address the difficult economic decisions facing the country. The think tank accused the parties of "poisoning" the debate by making unrealistic claims about tax cuts that would cost billions of pounds. The IFS emphasized the need for political parties to acknowledge the painful choices that must be made in order to address economic challenges.

Reform UK, a party that claims to represent the interests of the marginalized, has come under scrutiny for its tax plans that appear to primarily benefit high earners. Despite positioning itself as a party for the "left behind," an analysis conducted for Sky News reveals that Reform UK's flagship tax policy is skewed in favor of individuals with higher incomes. This raises questions about the party's commitment to addressing the needs of those who are truly struggling and in need of support.
