    I wonder what Farage means by coming for Labour votes. I mean, the Reform manifesto 2024 was Trussonomics + anti-immigration, surely there's a ceiling on how many labour voters will find that attractive. So what will Reform 2029 policies look like?

    Leicester East is a terrible warning of British politics dividing on communal lines - with the Conservatives becoming the party of India and Israel, and Labour that of Pakistan and Palestine. No good can come of it.

    They are losing vote share, and obviously votes, across the board. How much was tactical unwind of Greens for Corbyn, Islamic interest votes, and just sheer low stakes of an expected big nationwide majority, is hard to say.
