It's a peculiar situation because I dislike Reform a lot and think they could be a real danger to liberal democracy, especially with Musk pulling the strings, but then there's a part of me that wants to see them give Labour and the Tories a damn good hiding.
It's feels almost as though we're living in a failed state (not quite, but certainly a failing democracy) and the centre cannot hold. Judging by Farage's demeanour he feels it too.

And Kemi is nowhere.
Some of us have been thinking for some years now that it would break up in the centre (London) first, rather than with any Celtic breakaways.
