The AfD and Reform immigration policies are almost identical. There is no plausible reason for considering one far right and the other not.
Watching BBC News and it's striking to hear the presenters repeatedly referring to the AfD as "far-right" whilst refusing to ever say the same about the hundreds of actual masked blackshirts currently swarming British ports

Impressive so far. A refusal to be bullied into an illegal war by a mad US President should unite the nation. But Brexit Britain is, of course, not a normal nation.

This looks grim. But it’s also an interesting test for all the grifters who use the meaningless phrase ‘Judeo-Christian values’ as a euphemism for hatred of Muslims.

Thank God Starmer is in charge, really. If it had been any of his immediate predecessors, we'd currently be at war with Iran, playing lapdog to a deranged US administration, unable to say what we were doing or why.

I’m not sure Farage can sack his leader in Scotland for homophobic ‘jokes’ without resurrecting the (imo) much worse homophobic ‘joke’ that Farage told at his brother’s wedding.

A Reform government will be very, very unpopular within weeks of taking office. Will make Starmer look like a rock star in comparison. But it will be too late then. They will have the power and the damage will be done. Nothing is more important than stopping them at the next GE.
It is an oncoming catastrophe:
No ECHR
Mass deportations
Net zero abandoned
Free speech in universities abolished
No broadcast impartiality laws
The BBC sold off
Death penalty reintroduced
Cold war with the EU
End of judicial independence
All this - and more - is being very clearly signalled.

This is exactly right and applies to climate as well as immigration policy. There’s a real chance the next UK government could deny climate science, repeal the Climate Change Act, quit the Paris Agreement, axe all clean energy and efficiency policies, and deliver coal mining and fracking projects.

my theory: social media has whipped up impatience, scorn, hatred, anger, polarisation and frustration with anything other than immediate results
Glad the FT is asking the question. Even if I’m not convinced they found a compelling answer.
I get that Starmer & Reeves are unpopular, I really don’t understand the extent of the dislike.

Honestly I think it’s even worse in the UK with London (though weirdly *only* London) than it is in America with coastal cities.
Do other countries have this weird notion that you’re not a “real” representative of the nation if you live in an urban center? Like do the French say Parisians aren’t really French? Are you considered not a real German if you live in Berlin? Or is this mainly a weird American thing?
