It’s long been clear that Reform is beatable – Farage’s terrible personal ratings, toxic brand, mass tactical voting against them. The narrative that victory for them is inevitable was based on superficial analysis + wishful thinking on the right.

The Daily Mail is so desperate to protect the Fossil Fuel Billionaires it is blaming the 'Green Agenda' for the out of control wildfires caused by Climate Change. I wonder why anyone reads this rag, if you have enough brain cells to read you really shouldn't.

There’s really only one conclusion here: Trump cannot live in the realm of reality. He pathologically makes claims that cannot be supported and acts as if he is delusional. If all elections are rigged, as he says, how did he win in 2016 in 2024? He is a danger to this country.
