So, after a short honeymoon and some deft work by Farage, I reckon Reform UK will rise again. Farage should consult me! Maybe OB can arrange that!
No, that’s not true. It was becoming clear a week before the election the Makerfield electorate had decided to vote for Burnham to replace Starmer, following which they would vote for Reform at the General Election.

They swallowed the spider to catch the fly…..

Farage's own popularity has decreased (65% have an unfavourable opinion of him v 59% a year ago) and the Party's appeal to women has inevitably suffered after poor vetting of its Makerfield candidate let in someone who had previously proclaimed himself a sexist.
Farage has been investigated on multiple occasions by people attempting to bring him down. None of them found any wrongdoing.

I’ll tell you when people will move to Reform in droves. That’s when we get to the General Election debates. Most people will listen to what is said at those debates, and that’s when those who hadn’t thought about voting Reform will hear what Farage has to say first hand and realise he’s the only politician addressing the real issues that are important to them.

Reform UK is still well in the lead in the opinion polls, and yet to hear you speaking, you’d think they were losing!
