Labour (!!) trying fight Reform on their own terms is one of the stupidest pieces political nonsense of the current news cycle. Or maybe a master stroke so profound no pleb like me can see it’s genius.
Absolute state of them.

Was always gonna happen. He just not winning swaths of urban area, in what’s a fairly urbanised country.
Liberals, minorities and women aren’t going to vote for him en Masse. Can’t win the Uk without those groups

People need to realise that Farage doesn’t actually want to be PM. Every election he has ever been in has been engineered to either not matter (Euro elections, being MP for Clacton in a party of 5) or to be ‘valiantly’ lost. The man is a potential whiner with no constructive plans.

Everything that Labour does. Every word that spews out of Starmer’s mouth. Their amazing ability to just magically do or say the absolute worst idea that can possibly be conjured up.
Is Starmer somehow a Russian spy or something, set out to cause maximum destabilisation of the UK.

They said the same about UKIP back in 2015, frankly at this point everyone in the country has made up their mind about Farage, he’s like marmite.
While I’m sure they are correct that Labour ,like any party, will take note of its rivals , you’d have thought that such an article might mention a few things Labour has actually done as a result of this ‘obsession’ that it shouldn’t have done.

There’s a decent chance Reform won’t even exist by the next election. We haven’t had a government willing to take the risk of ignoring the lunatic fringe for two decades now, and it’s almost destroyed the country.
Go back to your curtain-twitching, swingers weekends and *legitimate concerns*, and let the grown ups do democracy.

The only thing less predictable than stock markets is politics. And I wouldn’t listen if someone told me that the stock price had definitely topped out even if I didn’t like the stock.

>Lord Robert Hayward has told The Independent that recent council by-election results, where Reform lost while defending seats, coupled with a small fall in the polls, suggest that Nigel Farage’s march to Downing Street at the next general election is facing some serious questions.
wow, some in depth analysis from our leading pollster there.

That definitely doesn’t sound like famous last words or anything

I kind of get it. Even though there’s a high max. It’s not high enough to form a government.

Last year Sir John Curtice mapped the UK into[ six voter groups](https://natcen.ac.uk/news/new-research-natcen-defines-six-uk-voter-types-ahead-general-election), he said Reform would peak at about 25% of the vote at an election.
