Often see the assumption that although Labour is losing more voters to the centre-left than the right nationwide, the opposite must be true in the north of England. In fact, the only region it's true is Scotland. It's not 2019 any more!

New Substack post using fresh polling for The i:

77% (!!) of Britons now say the country is “broken.”

I argue that single stat is best explanation of Reform’s record 35% vote share in our latest poll.

The single best explanation for Reform’s surge is also the simplest: the belief that Britain is "broken" - and a feeling that neither established party is capable of fixing it.
