Saying “I don’t like the Tories, Labour etc so I’m going to vote Reform“ is like saying “I don’t like burgers so I’m going to eat a toxic waste tip instead”.
Admittedly, for many years, we have had to vote for the least bad Party.
But there is no reality in which Reform is the least bad Party.

This is also a problem for Reform of course. To win they need voters who don't actually like them.
🧵In today’s Times @joshglancy.bsky.social has a brilliant write up of our focus groups he sat in on. Definitely read it in full! But I want to focus on two voters: Kylie & Eve I think have outsized importance in explaining today’s politics

He is right that Republicans should stop using him as a sign that the left is coming over to them, because the left binned off Maher a good while ago.

It’s going to take more than this. The entire GOP is rotten and they have proven themselves to be craven. We won’t be trusting the USA for a long long time. It’s sad but it’s so beyond, ‘we will be back’
this was a little silly but at least believable after one term of trump, but is transparently flimsy after two.
donald trump is forever. the forces he represents are not just going to vanish like a dream. democrats need to contend with this fact to find a way out of the pit.

Fuck, I didn’t realise I was so unsafe, this happens to me on a daily basis in my own home.
Please be careful in London. I have spent 25 years there, but I have never heard a story as frightening as this one from today in which nothing at all happened.

One of the richest men in the UK, living in Monaco to avoid billions in tax, suddenly gives a rare interview and awkwardly echoes Reform bullshit, shortly after meeting Farage. Im sure it’s coincidence and not a billionaire trying to tilt the scales toward an ally of the billionaire class.

She has some brass fucking neck doesn’t she. Completely shameless.
Fourteen years, a financial crash, a childish tantrum, and myriad infant cabinets say otherwise.
You are unfit for office.
You are unfit to shine Labour’s shoes — however inept they have been.
There have been no bigger failures in office than you Kemi.
Sit down and be quiet.

Sorry for any offence caused by me calling him a racist. In the interview, you hear him stumble over the phrase, but he then pauses and doubles down on it, sounding very happy and intentional with the wording. Believe people the first time. The owner of Man U is a racist.

Guys, if you want to feel good about the UK, if you poke your head up for a second and watch Pam Bondi testifying. Fuck me. What a debasement of the USA. She has to be this way now to avoid jail. It’s the only way she gets her pardon. I don’t know how she sleeps at night. Probably upside down.

Boris Johnson, Nigel Farage and Jacob Rees-Mogg conspired with a foreign fascist to overthrow the elected British PM, Theresa May. It’s right there in the #Epsteinfiles
This couldn’t be clearer. Bannon’s texts to Epstein in mid July 2018 - “overthrowing May right now” and in “London with Boris” as well as his appearance on LBC with Nigel Farage are prettying damning evidence of a cross party plot with foreign backing
