Farage is not popular, there is a sizeable anti-Reform vote out there and those people *really* don't like Reform and will vote accordingly. I mean come on bbc and others perhaps actually do your job and consider this possibility, eh?

It's good to see our 2 party system collapsing under the weight of stupidity of the 2 parties. 'Not the tories' and 'don't vote Labour and you're basically voting tory' now seems finished, so Labour is going to have to win our votes with positive policies and stop being brexity xenophobes.
If Labour is continuing to lose votes, just got 11% in a by-election in a seat they've held for 100 years and in a few recent polls is equal to or just behind the Greens maybe we should stop suggesting they're the only thing that can defeat Reform.

Brexiters in denial about brexit. It's not the way we left, it's the fact that we left that has damaged the economy. The way we left determined the degree of damage and Labour policy of no SM or no CU guarantees that we keep the most damaging version.

A stupid decision to call Palestine Action a terrorist group leads to protests and mass arrests, wasting police time and clogging up the courts. The answer: don't rethink the stupid law, clamp down on the right to protest instead.

The lack of good investigative proving journalism in the UK is shocking. the UK has not fully reciprocated its Brexit border with the EU since 1/1/21 as it'd be too much (Mogg's words) "self harm". It's also dropped enforcement of UKCA for same reason.

Why is more not made of the fact that UK chose to give up **85%** of its (wholly reciprocal trading barriers free) *internal* market when it left the EU?
Its internal market is now smaller that UK itself for GB goods sales..
& it is **never** going to offset this 85% loss elsewhere

If Labour or the tories change tack on the EU and immigration, that really does undermine reform's chances of election at the next GE. As it is, both Labour and the tories have lost votes on both sides, but the pro-brexit / anti-immigration voters aren't coming back.
