Reform wins a majority in the next general election. Why? How could that possibly happen?

I think it’s a “slice”

We can all agree that Groupthink is dangerous

This must be the most Bluesky post ever …

And … other platforms are available … given H&L offer Gilts I’m sure they will as well

H&L good value if you confine your purchases to shared/ETFs/Bonds as they cap total annual fee at £240. Real rip off, however, if you buy funds

There’s a very large choice (if not all of them), with maturities from Sep 25 to 2068 at least. You can also buy strips. Transaction fee £11.95

Very easy to buy gilts on Hargreaves Landsdowne (at least)

You can buy individual gilts on Hargreaves Landsdowne platform …

How many of the ultra frequent flyers are travelling on business? Do we need another tax brake on enterprise?

My mistake - I thought you were interested in solving the problem. Dickhead is as dickhead does. Out.

If you think they’re all bigots then you’re never going to win them round; if you don’t win them round then Farage will be PM

Pre 2016 net immigration of c. 200k made it a salient enough issue to swing the referendum to “leave” - so it needs to be lower than than - I think 100k could be sold as “resolving the issue”
May 7, 2025 at 3:36 PM
As I wrote before - I don’t know - my guess is that it would need to be no more than 100k to neutralise the issue as a negative for the government

I’m not sure what the minimal number needed to take this off the “negative” list for enough voters, but “ good news, we’re down a third to 800k, so what’s the problem morons?” is not going to win Labour/Reform waverers over
May 7, 2025 at 8:45 AM
It’s not the number that matters to me - it’s the number that matters to everyone who’s going to vote to put Farage in Downing Street in four years time.
May 7, 2025 at 8:45 AM
800k is still more than most people would think is acceptable

Try SW1A 1AA. Close to Green Park.
