"This machine can mend potholes at half the cost that currently is being charged by other commercial operators, and aren't potholes just the perfect symbol of broken Britain?"
"Reform UK figures promote JCB pothole-fixing machine after Farage lavished praise on the business, JCB gave a donation of 200,000 to Reform in November last year."
"Now at least two Reform-run councils have adopted the machines through their contractor. They said this had been done through the proper procurement channels and not cost them any more money."
"Lilian Greenwood, the Labour party's roads minister, has described it as one of the many great examples of using new technology to repair potholes faster."
Reform UK has actively endorsed JCB's PotHole Pro machine, with prominent figures like Nigel Farage praising its efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Farage suggested its use in future Reform-run councils, emphasizing the need to address potholes as a symbol of national neglect. Following his endorsement, JCB donated £200,000 to Reform UK. Several councils, including those run by Reform, have adopted the machine, claiming proper procurement processes were followed. Other political parties also utilize the technology, highlighting its effectiveness in improving pothole repairs.
