The Reformed Tory Party is probably a better name than Tory 2.0
But it can’t really be called Reform any more can it? There’s no Reform here. It’s clearly just the bottom of the Tory talent barrel … and some openly racist low life.

America is clawing back some self respect this weekend. Trump’s Kremlin Military Parade was pathetic. No King protests were triumphant.

In short, Starmer has taken a massive hit among Labour voters, for no gain elsewhere, while boosting Farage's popularity, including doubling his ceiling among Labour voters.
I.e., the political scientists were right, Morgan McSweeney was horrendously wrong.

My first post on Blue Sky (Refugee from Threads, never liked Twitter). Here's a photo I took in Jan 2025: "The Yew Path," Hughenden Manor, High Wycombe—Disraeli's old estate. His dogs have gravestones nearby. I like to imagine him strolling here with his dogs, as I do with mine.
