I’d love to read the underlying report if it’s available in English?
Because I suspect that the tones of the left and right wing material are quite distinct

And here - in one simple diagram - is why most of the “free speech” debating is insincere posturing. It’s not free speech the right supports. It’s control over the means of communication.

That’s an 11 point swing from Reform to Labour

When voters have a chance to taste Reform in action, they soon spit the maniacs out

Let us hope that’s true - it would make sense from the Iranian’s perspective not to fully trust the Russians.

Perhaps - but they’d shared with Russia everything needed to mass produce Shaheds so I am not expecting any great reversals

They got 29%

A few points up on the combined Tory+Reform vote of the previous general election

Reform is a virus that stimulates the UK’s anti-fascist immune system
