If you add age profiles of parties' supporters this would also mean there won't be many Reform supporters in the future
Brits would find it most difficult to be in a relationship with someone who supported Reform UK (40%).
They would find it easiest to be in a relationship with someone who supported the Greens (40%), Labour (39%) or the Lib Dems (36%) 💘

Proper lampooning of the idiots
WATCH: After hyping a dramatic “cartel drone” incursion, Trump officials shut down El Paso’s airspace and fired a borrowed Pentagon anti-drone laser—at what turned out to be four party balloons.
Trump admin’s ‘cartel drone’ story bursts like a balloon. Or four.

Yes, the 'immigration policy' was from the beginning basically and entirely 'get rid of anybody we don't like, for whatever reason we don't like them'.
The immigration 'centres' are also just concentration camps for anybody we don't like

honestly tired of trying to convince people that trump's immigration policy is not really about violent undocumented immigrants or even just undocumented immigrants, but immigrants in general and even non-white people more broadly.
cool, cool. so we are sort of like citizens, but not really?

The trend is Reform levelling off and at around 30% which totally tracks
A thing of beauty. Also underlines why you should ignore ‘changes’ by pollster of +- 2-3 percentage points between their polls and just follow the trends.

New poll: In 2024, low-engagement voters went for Trump over Harris by 11 percentage points. But now they disapprove of the way he's handling the presidency by 13. They have moved 25 points against Trump — 2x as large as the shift for high-knowledge voters www.gelliottmorris.com/p/trump-lost...
Trump has lost the voters who weren’t paying attention in 2024
The least-engaged Americans have swung 25 points against him since 2024 — about twice the shift among everyone else. Trump has flattened the engagement gap.

Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

Musk has got several really big calls right: on the demand for high end EVs, the potential for much cheaper space launch, that Tesla could radically cut production costs, the Starlink thing. Important not to forget.
