With all populists, the question is how high the storm ride will rise, before it drops back.

There has been bad flooding in Brazil, and the levies are under strain in the US. Perhaps here we will just see some boggy fields, who knows.

Either way, whenever they actually do get power, they are found out for the liars and idiots they are.

The only question is the amount of flood damage caused.

Andrea Einstein Jenkyns looking like a potential Reform mayor for Greater Lincolnshire. And you thought that Lincolnshire had had bad enough press already.

Does Lincolnshire have any press at all?

Remember that what did it for the BNP and Nick Griffin was doing very well in local elections, and their elected councillors being a complete waste of space. With some luck that may happen to reform too.

It probably isn't due to it's placing in the Telegraph which suggests that it has been somewhat cherry picked.

Current poll of polls prediction would be a Labour win but not a Labour parliamentary majority. There would likely be a Tory / Reform coalition.

This is still disturbing.

As you say, one poll is hardly conclusive and of course the Torygraph is hardly impartial, but the rise of Reform as an electoral force is pretty clear. Both Tories and Labour seem to recognise the threat.

I also agree that a Tory/Reform coalition at the next GE is a probably outcome. Who knows exactly what that would look like, but from my point of view it's preferable to Labour being in charge into the next decade.

I think that Reform is past the stage of being a blip in terms of popularity. I suppose the best hope for you is that they will continue to split the right of centre vote, otherwise the lefties are very likely screwed at the next GE.

I’m prepared to place a decent bet that Reform will not be the largest Party at the next General Election either in terms of seats or vote share.

Given the share of votes for Labour at the last election, any result is possible at the next one unless Starmer and Reeves can somehow make the population feel beeter off and more secure.

Given that Reform's only councillor, to date, is carrying on his wasting of space I can't see them doing well. Protest votes aside, which happen at every election.

I the phrase was 'a loveless landslide', as Labour were elected with less votes than when the chief leftie loser Jeremy Corbyn last led Labour into an election.
