The problem is that what people want, and wants actually good for them are two different things.
I just don’t see how a party of the worst rejects from the Tories can possibly succeed at governing.

The gammons do say they can’t be any worse than team Starmer. I doubt they are right but you never know.

But WE'VE ALREADY TRIED THEM.
It's not like they didn't have a go for 5 years.

I suspect that, 'Goodwin' being a not-uncommon name, the Manchester Neil Goodwin who is being cited in some places as his father, is no relation. I imagine that Matt Goodwin will be asked to confirm very soon, and that it will indeed be just an AI fail of making 5 out of 2+2.

GB News presenter unveiled as Reform by-election candidate

Liberal Democrat Cabinet Office spokesperson Lisa Smart said: "Goodwin has made a career out of talking our country down - he is a professional wind-up merchant, more interested in chasing headlines than putting an end to the cost of living crisis facing families."

Green Party leader Zack Polanski said: "It tells you everything you need to know that Reform are parachuting in a rent-an-extremist... Manchester will show him the door."

It's interesting, as I can't work out who the competing 'narratives' benefit – Goodwin, or his detractors. I think the story Goodwin wants to sell is a humble upbringing, followed by poor boy made good, with links to Manchester.
