It says more about the electorate's appetite for unicorns from a unicorn seller who's been proven not to be able to source them.
That said, both the Tories and Labour have been trying to ape Farage, rather than set out their own stall with a positive vision. Starmer (with Mahmood's Braverman-Ghoul tribute act) and Badenoch could be doing their own things (both could be making the case for why immigration will be *necessary*, with Starmer doing the "it enriches society" and Badenoch doing the "it enriches business"), and both could be making a case for why Brexit was a sad mistake, but they've both decided to chase the votes of people who are never going to vote for them.
And Starmer has been doing terrible politics at every turn, rolling out half-arsed policies that haven't been prepped at all well (IHT on farms, ID cards, etc.), which is entirely of his own making. But there's a long time to go to the election, and there haven't been any distasters in the last week.
To be fair to Badenoch, she's only got Barnabas and Cut-Throat Jake left
on her boat, as Cabin Boy Tom has gone off to live in Zurich, and Master Bates and Seaman Staines never turned up in the first place. So her choices are very limited, especially as she lost her Willy to Farage.
