Ireland has some excellent writers.

Graph showing movements of voters intentions between 2024 and 2026, I think, given the lack of Plaid Cymru and SNP, only in England. It clearly shows that only ReformUK (and to a much lesser extent Greens) are successfully recruiting voters from the enormous 'did not vote' block, while Greens recruited heavily from Labour and Reform and the LibDems both recruited slightly from the Tories. There's no movement to Labour from anywhere at all. The LibDems and the Greens are not losing votes to anywhere at all.

The Gist: Britain, the Ungoverned Country

The Labour Party's problem since Kier Starmer was elected was that it fed itself disinformation and pooped disaffection. This is the Gist.
