“[Lee Anderson] is quite confident that his politics are going to resonate with voters.”
The Conservative Party is "panicking" that Reform UK's immigration promises will appeal to voters in key election areas, says Times Radio's Joe Hawkins.

"We didnt create Covid or the Ukraine War" -> but we did create Brexit.

We are all drowning in these Brexit benefits, so many of them.

We didn’t create? No your leaders in Washington did though and you backed them and continually lied to the public…

Looking forward to the Cons explaining the benefits during the campaign 😂

*OH MY GOD - THE IGNORANCE IS ASTONISHING* "100,000 people renegotiating and taking advantage of the lower rate:" *NOOOOOOOOOO.....!!!* People renegotiating now got their fix 2 to 5 years AGO - they are going from 2% to 5.5% *HOW CAN YOU BE THIS BAD AT YOUR JOB....???*

I think Lee Anderson is right when he says his views represent those of a lot of people. Theyre mostly xenophobic bigots but somebody has to speak for the intolerant among us. And he does it very well.

It doesn’t matter that much what Sunak offers the public because in general people are turned off by him personally. He is seen as an untrustworthy, entitled little creep and the more visible he is the worse it will be for the conservatives. They have no track record to stand on and the guy out front trying to make the public think otherwise is an unlikable little rich man ….the tories cant turn this around.

Keep in mind the majority of your listeners are well right of centre in their views so their opinions of Starmer are unlikley to reflect the majority views a more balanced poll might give.

Whilst this is true, its impossible to not have your audience have some bias.

But Starmer **is** centre-right. It's just that Tories obsessively portray him as far left.

@@thetragicyouth If you consider him centre right or centre left depends entirely on how far left or right your own politics are. It's relative of course to your own view.

This is wonderful. If Sunak tacks right, he loses the centre, if he moves to the centre, he loses the Tory far-right. He's toast.

When are people going to acknowledge Brexit has had profound negative consequences for the economy that will dwarf the impact of other factors in the long term? That WAS the fault of the Tories, their donors, suited buddies, and client journalists. Oh, and let's not forget to thank Putin for his contribution.

Reform didn't go anywhere in the recent local elections - that should give people a clue as to how well they will do in the upcoming general election.
