Labour are now ahead of Reform in polls from More in Common (28% to 24%) and Survation (26% to 24%). Also YouGov has Labour and Reform on level terms, both at 22%. This is the first time in over a year that Reform has not had a lead over Labour.

    You are an ignorant fool whose behaviour directly leads to the rise of parties like Reform and the constant electoral return of the Tory Party in the past. Labour are controlled opposition that have always been the release valve for pent-up frustration for workers, ceding ground to the right over and over again by allowing the overton window to remain in the ridiculous position it’s ended up in.

    The only time the Labour party achieved anything radical was on the heels of WW2 when the growing strength of the USSR and the Warsaw Pact, alongside workers being trained to use arms and having recently fought a bloody war against fascists and ready to fight capital at home violently, brought a whole suite of very radical reforms to the system as concessions to the working class. These have been systematically stripped back for the last 5 decades and Labour had been a willing partner in the transition, no longer fearing being held accountable by the class they claim to represent.
