Aditya Chakrabortty points out anti-Faragists are split between Leftists & those who think he is not right-wing enough... suggesting that there is unlikely to be single strategy to defeat the Fascist Frog & ReformUK Ltd.

But, as Chakrabortty concludes: 'if Labour’s strategy is essentially to do what Starmer did, but with better comms and more social-media dopamine, it will get the same result as he did: a disaster, not just for Labour, but for the rest of us'

Does Nigel Farage know what people really think of him? I do – and he won’t like it | Aditya Chakrabortty

Here’s the other conclusion: opponents of Reform share with its supporters an utter abhorrence of Westminster

I suspect one they share with most of the country.

I had a lot of reasons for voting against Brexit but one of the simplest was this: of all of the layers of government that I sat under, from parish councils, through the Welsh Assembly, to the EU, the one that I had the least faith in was Westminster. Unfortunately having the leaders of the two major parties in Westminster leading the remain campaign meant they couldn’t use the most effective line: Vote remain or the muppets in Westminster will have more power.
