Reform will win, and here’s why. Here’s what would Christopher Hitchens say about the rise of Reform UK and the decay of modern Britain? In this satirical reimagining, Hitchens takes us on a tour of the abandoned factories, shuttered mines, and gutted shipyards of England’s former industrial heartlands, laying bare four decades of betrayal.
From his imagined vantage point, Hitchens dissects how bipartisan consensus hollowed out working-class communities, dismantled public services, and left behind a wasteland where fascism inevitably takes root. He skewers Nigel Farage as the predictable parasite of this collapse—an opportunist rebranding himself again and again while feeding resentment, scapegoating immigrants, and cosying up to Putin.
Hitchens doesn’t stop there: he lambasts the Conservatives for vandalism, Labour for cowardice, and the comfortable classes for pretending that the anger fueling Reform UK has no legitimate roots. In doing so, he highlights the tragic, predictable pattern of history—when hope disappears, extremism thrives.
