UK General Election 2029 - Trading ONLY thread

[jamesedwards]

Reform only need a 6.7% swing to capture the Makerfield seat from Labour.

In the local elections last week the eight Makerfield constituency wards put Reform at 50.4% compared to Labour's 22.7%. This represents an approximate 18-point local swing from Labour to Reform since the 2024 General Election.

Reform will win.

Reform drifting on the expectation that Restore Britain will be running.

BREAKING: The Makerfield by-election will take place on Thursday 18 June

I think the fact that Nigel Farrage has said that "Reform will throw absolutely everything at it." when talking about the Makerfield by-election shows that he is a little bit worried about Andy Burnham potentially becoming Labour leader.

No more 'worried' than win every seat/by-election that presents itself. And who would you have as your competitor? If you can chop your enemy off at his knees why let him live on ... (that's a metaphoric cutting at the knees and living on for the LLBs amongst us!)

... anybody going to the Tommy Robinson 'gig' this weekend

I have interest in Reform from the perspective of protecting British values, cutting wasteful spend, and a more pragmatic approach to wokeism and political correctness.

But I have no interest in the more hostile xenophobic atmosphere likely to prevail at this sort of event.

... expecting up to 100,000 people could be there

But I have no interest in the more hostile xenophobic atmosphere

... and neither has Labour/Tories
