    Farage’s Britain

    Farage holds no office and his party has 8 MPs. Almost half of them hadn’t run as Reform candidates, but instead jumped ship from the Conservatives. By comparison, Labour has 404 MPs. The fasc-friendly media would love to market Reform’s success in 2028 as inevitable, but it’s just as likely that they’ll do well in the 2026 mid-terms (which are for local government positions), then fall on their faces in 2028 once people see how fanatical and incompetent they are when they’re in office.

    Also, there’s a (small) chance that Labour will unwedge its collective head and pass much-needed laws reforming foreign funding of election campaigns and transparency of party donations. If they do so, Farage will be fucked.
