So true!
So when #Farage voices his political opinions & polls show that voters endorse him, the strategy is to copy him.
But when @zackpolanski.bsky.social voices his political opinions & polls show that voters endorse him, the strategy is to belittle, attack, & denigrate him.

One commentator has noted that the latest fall is as a result of policies put in place by the previous Tory administration.
And, to be fair, the Tories did work tirelessly to make the UK an unwelcoming, impoverished, insufferable shithole... 🤷🏼♂️

Regardless of the content and the consequences of the budget I think Rachel Reeves has done a great job of rehabilitating herself with this speech. Absolutely ripping the Tories a new one whenever she gets a chance
