Labour and the Tories still don’t understand the appeal of Reform

Reform only had five MPs after the last general election and now one of them has been suspended.

A commensurate collapse in support must be on the cards, surely? On the contrary, Reform ’s polling figures remain at a historic high.

They are still fighting for elbow room with both Labour and the Conservatives at the top end of voters’ preferences.

Farage is taking advantage of that disillusion, but make no mistake: it was the established parties’ arrogance and misjudgments that created the opportunity for his party to thrive.

It was Labour and the Conservatives who created the monster, and it is they who must now face the consequences.
