This is absolutely what’s going on with Badenoch’s polling improvement. She is very much not getting any better or any more popular or electable. There is no (shoot-me-now) ‘Keminaissance’. It’s just that Farage has got even worse. And rightwing money needs a horse to back…
I can see only one major reason for this.
Various media owners, secretive sponsors of tax-averse "think tanks" and climate change-denying plutocrats, who seem determined to see normal service resumed in Downing Street as soon as possible, are having serious doubts about Nigel Farage's electability, and Badenoch remains their only other option.

Sarah Pochin raised "concerns" in parliament about the impact of second homes on rural communities. Two days later she purchased an £800,000 second home on Anglesey. Remarkable stuff. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

A man builds an IED. He sets it off in a busy public street. Shrapnel flies about hitting cars, homes and a child's bedroom. It's a miracle nobody is injured. And Reform MP Sarah Pochin calls his imprisonment "disproportionate" and "two tier justice."
It does raise this point of two-tiered
justice..


Reform's Sarah Pochin believes the
sentence handed to the 64-year-old who
blew up a ULEZ camera was
disproportionate'.

If you add in £130m losses on “Reform TV” (aka GB News) the effective subsidy of Farage’s party from just four men tops £200m. You just have to join the dots app.prospectmagazine.co.uk/story/75017/...
