And it makes me laugh (ironically) when they now blame Labour for all the months' worth of speculation.

Farage is a British Trump. He hates Muslims more than anything else. These are the people he attacks relentlessly.

Re: Greens. It's very easy to gain support for policies when you don't need to enact them. This is what Labour have found. A party in office is very different to a party in opposition.

No. Not out Reform Reform. That's not what I said.
They need to recover the "FLOATING" Reform voters. Where has their support come from? From voters of other parties who think traditional parties aren't treating what they think is the most important problem - immigration - seriously.

With Labour currently at more than 10 points behind Reform, what are they to do? They have to show that they are strong on immigration to the floating Reform voters. Otherwise, they're going to be "one and done" on government, and we'll see a vicious right wing populist party in power. Think Trump.

Indeed. He just needs to sort out his comms, both within his party and amongst the general public. You can't deal with criticism by ignoring it.

Same with Rees-Mogg who railed against WFH, demanded everyone went back into offices.
Rees-Mogg who runs an investment company with money in commercial property interests.
Awful conflict of interests that he denied at the time.

Corbyn was the answer to a question that no one was asking.
He would never have made it into power. His attitude, and his history, would have torpedoed any tilt at power (as it indeed did) despite numerous policies I supported.

I don't know what you're talking about. Blame the right wing for all the ableist, racist, anti-trans messaging.

Hurrah! I suspect there are many hundreds of thousands of us in the same boat.

This is, sadly, true.
