As can anyone with an ounce of common sense.

It looks like this obscene unearned wealth is starting to cut through. You can’t be a man of the people when you’re a multimillionaire off the back of handouts. Hasn’t support dropped to roughly 20% now and falling all the time? And he’s also the most unpopular political figure in the UK. We can’t be complacent, but it looks like people are (too) slowly starting to see through his bullshit and see him for the con man he is. Racists will welcome his racism, but unless they’re millionaires themselves they’re not going to be happy he’s grifted his way to luxury while they’re still wading through crap to get by.

I agree Swanners but remain concerned where his former supporters will turn next.
It won't be the tories, so one has to presume it will Lowe and the restore loons.

Will put this here rather than start another thread. I think he is simply running out of decent material to feign offence about - what absolute nonsense this is.

The world's gone mad.

The idea that displaying how much you care is more important than worrying about adding more needless plastic to the environment is bonkers. FFS, why do people vote for this moron?

Agreed. Racists are mostly f#ckwits. Intelligence has a normal distribution. It's a bell-shaped curve, where most people are around average. If Reform are reduced to relying on racists, there are simply not enough idiots to vote them into govt. They won't have the numbers.

The decline in Reform popularity will continue until the next election. I expect the Conservatives to grab a good chunk of the decline in a similar way to Burnham and the Greens.

We always seem to be pulled back to a 2 party system, likely a lot to do with the voting system

It's more to do with the fact insurgent parties tend to be centred around One Big Idea, but lack the rounded policy base, the experience and the expertise to keep voters interested and/or stop things falling apart.

You only have to look at the rag-tag collection of bad apples making up a sizeable part of Reform's candidate list, or Greens diving happily into the Zionism debate. Established parties have a wider pool to pick from, more rigorous controls and know better than to wade carelessly into such contentious topics.

The LibDems make little headway because they are obsessed with local government and aren't efficient or effective at national-level policymaking.

Reform won .8% of the seats with 14% of the vote share.

Labour won 66% with 33% of the vote share.
