    Its a hostile takeover dressed up as the right wing always do with ‘it makes sense’. Reform voters in general will find it an easy transition.

      I don’t know, I could see them bleeding Tory defectors for every Restore voter they gain. I think Reform’s electoral triangulation is a harder problem than it looks for them, especially as Badenoch’s profile has risen somewhat lately (albeit from a position not much higher up than Malebolge).

        Yeah, Tory are pretty far right. Tholder generations have tilted that way including traditional Labour voters. Keeping my gob shut at family events he’s very difficult.

      Yeah, Lowe’s making a bet that Farage will be forced out by his funding scandals, leaving Lowe to take over.

      Yes, he is that thick.
