Results like that would make a Reform Party reverse takeover of the Tories seem more likely to me. Farage seems like a far better representation of the Tory base than any of the current crop of senior Conservatives and the party seems ripe for a hard reset. Just a case of getting him a seat.

Is it that big? I’ve seen polls that say 70% of Tory voters would back him. Party leadership is on board and he seems keen - Badenoch is the only other viable candidate to my mind (which would be a classic ‘glass cliff’ appointment if it comes after the next election) but Farage running the party one day seems inevitable.I didn't realise that theres a massive rump of the anti sunak right that don't want farage.
They are so fractured it's incredible
While I understand the concerns about Bidens health I can't understand why more isn't made of Trumps. He's a mess.
I agree, neither should be running but as NW said, the alternatives aren't great.
While neither candidate is popular with the general public, “democracy is dead” isn’t entirely fair given that both Biden and Trump are breezing through their respective party’s primaries. It’s not like either are unelected.
The odds of either Biden or Trump dying in office seem very slim to me. Trump’s the only one who came close!
Is he?
The pressure will be on for some sort of Tory reform alliance with Farage running the show. Even on that poll it wouldn’t take a huge swing to prevent a labour majority
Tony will be on it I hopeWhen will Labour's longlist for Coventry East be released?
Got to be a laugh....
Blair? Benn? 76?Tony will be on it I hope
Gone up in my opinionCan see her popularity going up after this tbf
Pandering to the economic right for votes again.she's got no vision whatsoever. The massive private credit expansion of the early 00s ended well.

Andrew Tate was genuinely idolised by more than a few boys I taught last year.Crisis of masculinity in a white collar world, where women have better options including no man at all.
Don't know about that population projected to be 73M in 5yrs.Why are we capping child benefit during a birth rate crisis?
It's at its lowest rate since the 50s. That's just the population level average, the rates will differ across ethnicity.Don't know about that population projected to be 73M in 5yrs.

To be fair, he’s right, they’re totally different. One will probably generate additional revenue for the treasury (income tax on higher bonuses) and one will cost it more
I take shmmeees point that when there’s a birth rate problem government should be looking at ways to address this. I’ve said a million times before so people are probably getting bored of me saying it, but letting in 500k/600k net migration per annum when there’s already housing shortage and stretch on public services is not helping many things, including encouraging people to have kids. The other main reason will be the availability of affordable child care.
These are where the focus should be rather than chucking people on a decent salary an extra £15-20 per week. It’s pretty irrelevant if there’s inadequate housing supply and affordable child care places available.
The government's budget and a household budget are not the same.
You did with the raising revenue nonsenseNot sure I understand, I didn’t suggest they were.
