A whole 12% of voters think Brexit has been a success. And just 25% of Leave voters. Sigh.

The actual group moving most strongly to Reform are male Gen X-ers. We need more articles on how to deal with them.
Shot, chaser
Young men more likely to vote Green than Reform. Young men second most progressive group of any demographic. Combined right-wing vote barely bigger than Green vote alone for young men

I wish media outlets would describe Nathan Cofnas as a racist rather than a "self-defined race realist" which doesn't mean anything to most people.
His writing meets any definition of racism however narrowly and cautiously drawn.

Another reminder that Trump is not in fact winning. bsky.app/profile/samf...
So far the "Board of Peace" is Trump, Orban, Lukaschenko and Netanyahu.
Which if you wrote in a satire would be considered too outlandish and sent back.

SE / E Asia tariffs are the big stand out from this announcement. In a bad way. bsky.app/profile/samf...
The standout madness in the general madness are the enormous tariffs on South East Asia which, if these stick, is going to magnify China's sphere of influence. Geopolitical lunacy.

Again, Farage, Badenoch and their fellow travellers on X are wildly out of touch with the public on Iran.
Even the majority of Reform supporters oppose their position.
