This Is Absolutely Huge
Reform's domination reaches a new high.
In the end, it was beyond expectations.
A good night for Reform was said to be 300 or maybe even 400 English local Council seat gains.
The party actually broke through with close to 700 Councillors being elected.
That performance has clearly confirmed that the polls are right: there is a new number one most popular party in the UK.
Already the Reform agenda where the party has taken control is forming: Reform Council’s will fight against hotels for illegal migrants and insist that only the Union flag, St George’s Cross and county flags can be flown from Council property.
What I’ve noticed is another huge change in British politics.
It is now the two old parties, Labour and Tory, who are being forced to respond to what Reform are doing. They are playing catch up.
Meanwhile this Labour Government continue to show a tone deaf approach.
A trade deal with India includes an exemption on Indian migrants paying National Insurance.
We’ve seen NI increased in this country, but Indian workers here for three years or less will be exempt from paying National Insurance in the UK.
It represents yet another example of a two tier approach that sees hardworking Brits losing out.
But the groundswell against Keir Starmer’s agenda is exploding.
An absolutely extraordinary YouGov poll today points to a complete decimation of the Labour Party and the increasingly limp Conservatives.
Sam Coates of Sky today reports the findings: Reform on 29%, Labour down on 22% and and the Conservatives a whopping 12 points behind Reform on just 17%.
There is a caveat added from YouGov who say:
“Naturally, these results are quite striking, but they are probably in line with what we would expect after the locals.
“With Reform performing so well Thursday, and the positive media coverage that is associate with such a result, it is not surprising they have received this boost.
“The test will be whether this is a blip or whether it will sustain over the coming weeks.”
If Reform can continue the current momentum, we are looking at not only a Reform majority Government, but an utter wipeout for both Labour and the Tories.
One projection of this result has Reform with 369 MPs, Labour reduced to under 100 and just 17 Conservative MPs left
The Reform revolt is growing!
What an uplifting email Michael, thank you.
Not that I can see Kemi Badenoch joining forces with Starmer, but I'm now expecting all the dirty tricks that Labour can come up with, with the BBC and MSM backing them to smear Reform and its voters of obviously being far right thugs. Well this 73 year old thug says "bring it on" because we're sick of being the second class citizens paying for all these bloody foreigners, legal and illegal.
Well done Reform, especially as they tried to stop people voting in certain areas. 👏👏🎉👍🇬🇧
The concession for Indian workers being able to be recruited from India and with tax benefits is another kick in the face to British workers. This government is committed to immigration to keep headline growth going and perhaps to compensate for demographic problems, but importing low-skilled workers will only reduce per capita wealth. This is nothing but betrayal.
