I think Farage's bubble will burst soon enough if he becomes an MP.

It won’t. The opposite will happen once Labour are in government and start to fail and are held to account.

Farage is simply a focal point for corralling support against the status quo. Once that level of support reaches a certain size then they’ll look to formalise a realistic opposition party.

There is huge voter apathy at the moment. Labour will win a landslide despite 60% of people not voting for them. There is a huge vacuum ready to be filled by a populist party.

If Farage and the Conservatives can agree a way to move forward as a single party I think they’d be very hard to beat in 2029.

I’m fairly confident the soon to be Labour government will very rapidly decline into being one of the least popular in living memory.

Penny's closing statement relied on her persuading us that the conservatives had kept taxes low, and scaring us into thinking Labour will tax us the earth.

She fucked up and that closing statement sounded tone deaf.

Raynors closing statement- brilliant. "Imagine waking up to five more years of tories on July 5th".

She could have stopped there.

Farage is overconfident.
