Brexit all over again. I've left the club, no longer have to follow the club's rules, but expect all the perks of membership.

Don't they do that weekly when they expected they should be the official opposition due to how much they get in a Find Out Now poll.

Should that be a Fuck Around And Find Out Now poll?

And much as it grieves me to say it, the local Tories response "You're welcome to him" deserves a bit of credit.

Can any Reform supporter really look at that picture of Farage and think that looks about a bloke who is just about to enter his prime? He's only 18 months older than me but he looks like he's in his 70's. He really isn't a great advertisement for the benefits of chain smoking.

Clarkson's another 60 something looking like shit. But its big and clever to smoke 40 a day to stick it to the woke health do-gooders.

Add the Tory and Reform vote together and being really unpleasant works for over 40 percent of the electorate.

And if they don't cobble together some election pact I will be very very very very very very very VERY surprised.

I would say that much of the Tory rump has its foundations either in class-based, paternalistic conservatism, or economic liberals who can't take Reform's economics seriously. Neither of these groups are nasty as such, though their philosophies can attract nasty bastards amongst the wider electorate.

I'm sticking with my original analysis that the proportion of the electorate that are actual cunts (defined as people who don't mind things getting worse, as long as they are getting even more worse for people they don't like) tops out at 30-33%.

The more it develops the more I see Labour as the largest party after the next election.

I hope so, but I'm expecting an onslaught of disinformation and hate during the run-up.

The Tories are not getting much of that falling Reform support. Is it possible that Labour are getting some? We keep being told that they're making a terrible political (aside from moral) mistake with some of their immigration stuff, but this rather assumes that these people saying they'd vote Reform in a General Election tmrw (in full knowledge that there isn't one) are all lunatics. Or are the Greens not getting the amount of support from Labour that people (ie me) have been thinking?

Labour are going to vulnerable on energy prices though. It seems like it's a very long and expensive road to gas not setting the price so often. I don't see an easy alternative.

Farage’s Reform UK drops pledge to nationalise water and energy companies
What happened? I thought he was to the left of Starmer?

Matthew Goodwin was "left on the economy", wasn't he? I bet he's apoplectic.

He must already be furious that globalist citizens of nowhere in Thailand and Dubai are bankrolling Reform.
