New market - Winner without Labour - Reform 1.09 favs

... I think Farage is 'shooting' himself in the foot saying he is going to cut benefits. Instead,

he needs to convince the people of this country he has got a plan to control 'illegal immigration..

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 now 4.4 to win Makerfield.

This seat is not about how many people vote Labour, it's how many people vote Restore that will decide the winner.

I keep piling in. Good money after bad etc

I just don't think (nor hope) it will be that easy for Burnham.

Reform now 5.5. I take it the candidate did not perform well on Question Time?

... I think there is a loose horse ( Restore ) running about at the moment but Reform can still come back and win it

It was depressing last night taking the dog out for a walk Burnham banners in quite a few gardens ,
if Burnham was a sure winner wouldnt bookies be giving a way free money , Reform and Restore need to compromise
other wise Burnham will benefit from a split vote..

For me, he looked like a rabbit in the headlights, and clearly nervous. Having said that, I thought he came over better than I expected (I'm not a Reform voter). The Vorderman comments came out and you could see many angry looking women in the audience at that point.

The Beeb had obviously tried to get a representative audience though, as he did get quite a lot of applause. I thought Burnham did well, with Greens and Lib Dems coming over very wet.
