Media request: has your political allegiance shifted to Reform?

Hi there,

We've received the following media request.

Thanks,
MNHQ

I'd like to speak to women from Mumsnet whose political allegiances have changed to Reform in recent times. Ideally they would be willing to be named and pictured (in a piece for the Telegraph). Please contact [email protected] if you are interested.

Based on that Times article?

Which had graphs but no one was actually asked. So screens by AI and represented as facts.

I should coco.

I’d enact my user name rather than vote Reform.

Not in a million years

Why on earth any newspaper thinks this is relevant 4 years away from a GE I have no idea.

Hard No here

GrannyAchingsShepherdsHut · 06/01/2026 09:27

Of course I fucking wouldn't vote reform!

There's not actually a single party that represents me, to the point I'd be happy to vote for them even with compromises. That's the story. Not bloody Reform...

The left has left us behind on their happy little journey to the right.

Indeed. The graph produced actually shows the biggest swing is to "none/not sure/ wouldn't vote" rather than Reform. But that fact seems to have been ignored.

Absolutely not .... I'm fact I'm more averse than ever

You mean the making jokes about the gas chambers party? No thanks.

I like Jill, and follow her on Twitter. If she''s reading - Jill I think the story here is the women who are politically homeless. As another poster on another thread about this said - surely people who don't want to vote Labour and are not keen on Reform would be registering a protest vote - in which case why is the 'other' line not increasing? Why do NONE of the political parties appeal to women now?

This. Politically homeless women. Why? Much more interesting. And I live in one of the counties that has gone very reform. No i won't be voting for them, but believe that the other political parties really need to take note of why so many people voted for them.

Oh, please @RhiannonEMumsnet. I can’t believe you’ve posted this.

ClawsandEffect · 06/01/2026 10:11

And put Britain under the fascist jackboot? WTF.

No.

Wonder how much of a bung Mumsnet is getting to shill for them... The level of coverage that Reform is getting is gross. How about they give as much coverage to Nathan Gill and his crimes, and the absolute shambles which Reform run councils are? They really need to be thoroughly and properly scrutinised! Not given endless opportunities to promote themselves. Disappointed in Mumsnet.

Mistyglade · 06/01/2026 10:26

Noooooooo

Dearg · 06/01/2026 10:29

Not in a million years. I detest the SNP and Labour have been a huge disappointment, but Reform are dangerous.
They’d have us join with Trump and invade some sovereign nation in a flash.

Agree about politically homeless and about Jill. She’s done some great reporting.

Sarah2891 · 06/01/2026 10:32

You couldn't pay me to vote for those racists.

Runningincircles · 06/01/2026 10:33

No!

PandoraSocks · 06/01/2026 10:33

As @minskspies and @socialdilemmawhattodo point out, surely the real story is that nearly 30% of mumsnetters feel politically homeless?

PermanentTemporary · 06/01/2026 10:40

I’d be really interested to see how many actual photographable women fit into this category. Though I don’t read the Reformograph.

Hope you’re going to ask them about Farage’s meeting with the anti abortion bunch from the US and him then coming out with classic anti abortion starter pack statements. As well as the Russian bribes.

Put these in the fucking Telegraph

Yet another politically homeless woman here. Have voted Labour, Liberal Dem, Green and Independent in the past.

Left leaning, as a woman, feel utterly abandoned by these parties- women's rights and voices matter. We are not "non-men", we have fought long and hard for the right to be part of the political sphere.

Yet, the current government can't even bring itself to endorse the Supreme Court ruling, that the word 'woman' has a biological meaning and that sometimes, it actually matters that women have different needs, based on a different biology and the behaviour of many men, regardless of how they identify

The Greens and the Lib Dems are even worse.

Where, pray, does that leave us?

CandlelitKitchen · 06/01/2026 10:52

Not voting Reform.

Farage said -
"“no employer with a brain in the right place would employ a young, single, free woman” because of maternity rights."

"maybe it's because I've got so many women pregnant over the years that I have a different view."

Uuurgh God that's repulsive.

And to answer the OP- No, of course not.

BillieWiper · 06/01/2026 11:01

I'd rather kill myself than vote Reform.
