Farage receives second £36m donation in two days.

Reform’s biggest donor Christopher Harborne matched record donation given on Friday by fellow cryptocurrency billionaire Ben Delo

Do you think the Conservatives was a racist party?

YTD Labour have received, what, less than GBP 8m?

Ouch.

Indeed. And the As and Bs are most mobile and have the most option to relocate overseas. Reform would be fucked if they tried to form a goverment. Good luck paying for everything as my 40% income tax won't be going towards paying your benefits and pensions and many others feel the same.

Absolutely. It seems the majority of the British public are racist at this point. Many millions of them.

You do realise the polls are dynamic.

Look at Labours numbers during Starmer’s tenure.

Did any leader of the Conservative Party sing hitler youth songs and say that hitler got it right to a Jewish school mate?

So you’re ok with wealth being the key to being in government? Seems rather tinpot to me.

I presume by "liberals", you mean the Liberal Democrats? What about everyone else?

Centre right voters won't vote for Reform. It's way too far to the right for people with genuinely centre right views. They will most likely continue to vote Tory. Some may hold their noses and vote for something else. Some may not vote at all.

Speaking of tinpot.

I bet you would not be objecting if Labour had received GBP 72m in 48 hours.
Funny that.

Insightful.

The most mobile are the very rich, it’s not so easy to relocate if it’s a public sector job and kids in school.

Thank you.

Idk but turn out was pretty good with Starmer in. He motivated Reform voters to turn up.

You wish

Do all you Labour voters think we should continue to increase our welfare state? Do you think illegal immigration should increase?

I haven’t seen that specific breakdown but there’s some interesting stuff here about attitudes to elections and democracy, a lot broken down by voting preference. https://www.electoralcommission.org.uk/research-reports-and-data/public-attitudes/public-attitudes-elections-and-democracy-2025-findings

This one stood out to me:
‘More people now believe Britain needs a strong leader willing to break the rules.’

This is the breakdown by party preference:

Labour 27%
Conservative 59%
Liberal Democrat 27%
Green Party 23%
Reform UK 78%

I mean that’s fascinating isn’t it?

The most mobile are people with good qualifications and transferrable skills. Other countries have schools.

I haven’t done the maths. How many votes would he need for a majority and how much £ would that be for each vote? Surely that’s got to be more cost effective than multiple letters to people in the same household who would never vote for him. Plus old school canvassing. Targeted investment. Obviously there would be t&cs - time stamped photograph of ballot paper with no guaranteed pay out unless reform won outright with no comeback to loss of income following reform of benefits or the privatisation of services. Bang for your buck what reform are all about. Plus it’s not their money. Surely it’s what the donors want. Hard cash versus ideology.

I love a bet, what are you willing to lose?

Immigration is coming down

So do I!

What are we betting on, precisely and what’s the stake? We can then DM one another.

Oh come on... You believe that do you?

No the most mobile are the super rich. I don’t think many will. But we’ll see how it all goes.

I am surprised it is so high for Tories. Although Badenoch is an ex-hacker, I suppose!

(Waits for someone to mention Haigh...)
