    Donors go where the public goes, and that’s Reform UK from what it looks like. The media is fuelling a fire on immigration right now. Keir Starmer is a grilled crisp at this point — and the boiling cob is going to explode.

    Everyone voted on his promises, none of them actually fulfilled. That’s it, we’re done for.

    Bullshit. They put him up to the job to do exactly what he’s doing (he is the perfect lapdog), and now they’re using him as a scapegoat as it becomes clear he won’t win another election

      Yeah but. They also expect him to continue to do the job.

      As soon as MPs start talking about replacing him. Or it looks like hell lose the next election. They will find a new puppet. Either in another party (reform) or within labour.

      The issue is. None of the parties look to be much above 20% in polling. This leaves the billionaires with a genuine unknown future. It will be easy for the voters to move from party to party over the next 4 year leading to the election.

      So at some point they are going to start funding multiple options they consider safe. Tory Reform and a Right wing Labour Leader they think can be sold to the public.

          I said no party much above." Not below…"

          Latest yougov poll has ref at 22 con at 21 labour at 17.

          Added to Corbyns party at 15-20% dif polls and given its 1 week old. Much is still questionable on the parties popularity.

          The news on reform is not true based on current polling.
