  1. I honestly think the Tories will start to climb up as people realise Reform are a single policy party with no real answer to Rachel Reeve’s mess.

    Which is why everyone saying Starmer is handing the keys to number 10 to Farage is chatting nonsense. I don’t even understand why we give polling any headline space this far from an GE

    Their chances of winning were almost nil before the inevitable implosion that’s taking place now. They were actively causing tactical voting on levels unseen before to keep them out.

  4. I would like to think its about important stuff like them planning the massacre pensions and defund the NHS, but im guessing it will be about him not just admitting to racist comments but in some ways being seen as apologising for them… kinda…

    No doubt had they simply doubled down and said racism was celebrated they would have seen their points increase with their core base.

    Their still polling higher than anyone else though, so…

  5. I assume this will mean they see less and less TV time from BBC, sky, etc. as they’re no longer so popular… right?

    While this polling is good news, it’s important to understand that Reform UK is still points ahead of Labour and if an election was held today Farage would be in Downing St.

    Let’s applaud the trajectory while understanding there’s a lot more work to do to rid our shores of the scourge of Farage and his ilk.

    > Whilst this still puts them six points clear of Labour (19%) in first, it is a two point drop on the week before.

    Do you guys even read the article?

    Everyone is commenting like they’re dead in the water whilst they’re actually still leading.

  8. Take note: ‘November 23-24’

    This is before Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves bodied the workers of this country with their nightmare budget; they don’t even apologise for it ‘I accept the challenge we asked everyone to contribute’; they are liars and not deserving of the office they were elected to.

  9. I wonder how much of this is Shabana Mahmood’s very visible crackdown in terms of immigrants and settlement the past couple of weeks?

    It seems to have had a decent amount of positive press which is rare for Labour, and the more they do this the more it pulls the rug out from under Reform.

  10. He loves Putin; he sounds the most racist obnoxious young man at his fee paying school. Sounds like if you make a party a one man cult, that one man needs to be a better man than NF loving NF.

    I’ll need to see a lot more polls with different methodologies going the same direction before accepting that they’re sliding

  12. wait you telling me people are seeing their actual governing record in local council then going hmm maybe not. Say it aint so.

    And all it took was their officials to be constantly in the news for being racist and most of their councils to have been in post long enough to be judged basically useless.

    But yet they’re still above Labour. And if there was a GE tomorrow they’d probably win it by a landslide

    Unfortunately one way or another a populist authoritarian government is inevitable in the next 10 years, if not farage / reform then something else. There is a global wave of democratic backsliding, distrust of the government and rise of disinformation and conspiratorial thinking.

    I find it absolutely weird that people would vote for Nigel Farage and Reform, this is the man who brought you Brexit, one of the main advocates for Brexit and all it entailed. Brexit has been a complete failure on so many levels, and Reform are out of kilter with the British Public on so may issues. 63% of the voting public regret Brexit and want to rejoin the EU. According to the OBR, the bank of England and a number of other major financial institutions the UK has lost about 5% of GDP since Brexit. Farage guaranteed that once we are out of Europe we can control our boarders and stop illegal immigration. That hasn’t happened. In fact nothing that was promised the the Brexit lobby has happened, It been a total failure. So why the hell would you vote for the likes of Nigel Farage and Reform? I don’t get it.
