Reform have a reputation as racist with a plurality of white British voters (45-38 (+7 net) and majority of ethnic minority voters (69%to 16-18%: +51 net). That reputation for prejudice is rejected by most who vote Reform. (5% of Reform voters do say that they see their party as racist)

This is just mind-bendingly wrong-headed. ‘Let’s just adapt, tech will save us’ has always been a reckless strategy, but as evidence mounts that natural carbon sinks are failing it really does start to sink into a form of climate denialism.
