Powerful wake-up call from @chakrabortty.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
It really shouldnβt be hard to beat Reform. Beyond migration policy all they have is a load of neo-Thatcherite claptrap that everybody hates

Reform UK and the Greens are hoovering up financially insecure voters. My piece this week looks at the return of Britain's class politics (with a twist) www.economist.com/britain/2026...
