Sorry to interject. They’re both a problem now. At least two parliaments have invited more immigration than UK had capacity to absorb whilst not building enough homes & managing their integration into our culture & society.

2. The international Bond Market which is semi-permanently spooked since Liz Truss’ disastrous mini budget crashed the UK economy and UK government guilts/bonds.

Any flavour of UK government is now constrained fiscally by two things:
1. The OBR (created after the 2008 credit crunch by George Osborne, the Austerity Chancellor) whose rules can be tweaked but not materially changed because of constraint 2 below;

So Reform will get a turn next based on their false simple “solutions” to our complex, entangled & expensive issues embedded in our population.

Dear Edwin,
I appreciate reading your views & agree Labour chose badly in cutting winter fuel allowance & PIP rather than other measures.
However, UK’s economy is stalled after the credit crunch & Brexit on top of austerity.
Truss spooked the bond market, leaving no government meaningful options.

I found the survey published by YouGov/Today programme which by inspection confirms the summary sheet you have. It seems that Brexit supporters (obviously more than 1/2 of voters) were/are as distrustful of sound information as the Maga tribe in the USA. 😳😱
