I think it's fair to say that Reform seems to be influencing Labour's agenda. Witness the increase in defence spending at the expense of foreign aid and the intent to reduce welfare spending.
With the Labour current attack lines roughly paraphrased as “we’re so bold we are taking forward ideas so bad even the Tories rejected them” I’d not be so quick to celebrate the demise of Reform.

Austerity is a failed economic model that has been a noose around the neck of the economy for 15 years. There is no reason to expect austerity 2.0 to end any differently.
