This is way more positive about the state of high streets than I would have expected, given the discourse around it
With the government announcing a £150m regeneration fund for high streets, just 35% of Britons with a high street in their area believe it's in a good state
Good state: 35%
Neither: 21%
Bad state: 43%

Reform would behave exactly as Donald Trump. Don't agree with them, and they will penalise, threaten, defund, and cancel you. They are proto fascists.

Good to see the overwhelming number of people predicting the end of Mason, Kuensberg and Zefferman. I hear the bookmakers are predicting Mason first. Wonder if he will last the week.
