The BBC says it must give a lot of coverage to Reform because of its standing in the opinion polls. Reform is only riding high because of its relentless promotion by the BBC and the right-wing press. The LibDems can only dream of getting such massive help from the media.

Interesting point here is that fewer people support joining the Customs Union (49%) or the Single Market (48%) than support fully rejoining the EU (56%). And Strong Support 10 points higher for rejoin than for sub-rejoin. There is an advantage in simple messaging.

🧵🧵 This is an optimistic but also realistic assessment by Mike Buckley of the new EU-UK deal. The two caveats are worth particularly emphasising; I) The basic parameters of #brexit has not changed, II) Very much are plans which requires negotiations and implementation to be realised.
