    1. Are UK politics returning to some sort of sanity? Probably not, but maybe we can hope!

    2. >After asking the general public if they have a favourable or unfavourable view of each political party, YouGov put the net rating for 
      Nigel Farage’s Reform on -38 overall, down four points from the end of June.
      >
      >YouGov also found 65% of Brits now have an unfavourable opinion of Reform – the highest level recorded by their tracker to date.

      You love to see it.

      Also Polanski has gone from a +5 favourability to a -23 in just a year. Thats a crazy drop.

      People realising that the protest votes candidates are both as crazy as each other.

      These aren’t genuinely popular parties for the most part. They’re just a bunch of crackpots benefiting from the incompetence of the main parties.

      Thats the difference a leader who actually speaks about what they are doing for the country does.

      Keir didn’t say literally anything about the positive things he has been doing to correct the course of this country.

      Burnham preaches it every single day.

      Thats the type of person we need leading the country.

      What’s comical is Andy Burnham is only a small part of why. Starmer’s probably kicked himself for not holding on for a few more months.

      Farage couldn’t keep his dodgy dealings covered up and Polanski couldn’t stop saying stupid things. Seems all populist parties crash in a collision of their own carelessness.

    7. Worth noting the conservatives have also had a pretty big bump in the poles. The racist, rich and nutters just default blue.

    8. The Green boost was because Starmer pissed off the left, Burnham is trying to return to broadchurch Labour and isn’t antagonising the left so they’re back to backing him.

    9. Hopefully the jerry springer era of politics will fuck off and take farages nonce loving branch office with it.

      Burnham, King of Manchester, striding out from the wilds of the North and smiting all those who stand before him.

    11. Hindsight has shown that Gordon Brown ought to have called an election in the autumn of 2007.

      I wonder if Burnham will learn from that.

      I keep saying, most of the Reform vote doesn’t actually want Reform, they just want “different”.

      Nigel is really losing his footing between binface, the 5 million pounds and restores rise. Thats why he’s open to an alliance with restore it’s his only chance at winning but that may alienate some of the least extreme reform members.

      Zack seems more like he was in the right place in terms of being the leader of a more left party but the moment he’s actually talking about his plans or making posts it seems to backfire. He lacks political maturity to avoid controversies while also lacking the charisma of someone like trump who can break the rules and people will follow.

      Greens with a good leader would be dangerous Nigel probably has to rely on Labour messing up/people being fed up with the online laws as reforms the only party opposing them

      Kinda obvious this was going to happen, the more you listen to Polanski, the more you realise he doesn’t have a clue and is obsessed with purity testing. The guy talks about Gary Stevenson as an economist he listens to and wants to withdraw from NATO . Disqualifying him entirely.

    15. AdComplete937 on

      Not a surprise really, both leaders are interested in every other country but the UK.

      Farage is probably one of Trump’s mistresses and has dodgy goings on with Russia. Polanski cares more about a foreign war in 2 countries on another continent.

    16. Farage and his ilk are just dumb populist, performative nationalism idiots who have nothing of value in their track record and the Greens are detached from cost impact.
      Burnham is the sensible do’er that has a track record of making changes that possitively impacted peoples lives.

      The choice isn’t difficult.

      Greens will surge back when we get proportional representation. Reform not so much.

      Burnham keeps talking about cooperative politics: let’s hope he means it.

    18. Polanski’s fuck ups really were fucking it up for the Greens and then Burnham came in.

      Wonder how long the Green’s put up with Polanski.

    19. BlueberryCheap6654 on

      I didn’t realise how much I disliked Starmer until Burnham came in. He was so out of touch.

    20. Good! We don’t need to start going to futher left and further right parties because things aren’t happening fast enough. Have faith in the process and we will get there someday.
