The Overton Window is moving at last…
Anything from any Indians, Pakistanis, or other non-whites on this issue can be disregarded as biased and/or with an agenda.
In effect, though, the UKIP of 2014 is still around, having passed through two further incarnations— Brexit Party and now Reform UK.
As to the LibDems, their facade is still standing, thanks to the LibDems being the default non-Lab/non-Con alternative-choice or dustbin party, but as a party putting forward real ideas, they are almost a nullity.
In the end, only a real social-national party can deal with the problem. Reform, for me, is just an underwhelming way-station.
That polling may be accurate but, if it is, leaves out the important voting effects. Hardly anyone of or above State Pension age supports the “confiscation” of universal Winter Fuel Payment; very few aged 55+ support the “confiscation”. Most of those supporting Starmer-stein and Rachel Reeves in this will be under 40, perhaps even under 30.
The WFP “confiscation” will have electoral repercussions right through the present Parliament and on to the next general election. One of several factors which have already sunk fake Labour.
Were I to publish on the blog what I think should be done with evil “immigrants welcome” (“invaders welcome”) expenses cheat Yvette Cooper, I should probably have to endure the nuisance and boredom of the UK’s poundshop Stasi police at my door (yet again)…
Like most of Starmer-stein’s Cabinet, Yvette Cooper is a member of Labour Friends of Israel.
Moscow must be (?) becoming more convenient than I remember…
Last time I was there was 18 years ago, in 2007.
As frequently noted on the blog, though, immigration on such a huge scale impacts all other issues— housing, NHS, crime, tax, economy, environment, water supply, State pensions and other benefits etc.
The next general election may not be until 2029, so much ground to cover before then, but those numbers would result in a House of Commons with 310 Reform MPs (on the cusp of a working majority), 169 Lab, 72 LibDem, 36 SNP, 33 Cons (etc).
The Conservative Party, as in another poll yesterday, relegated to a pretty poor 5th place in the Commons. Among the 94 Con MPs likely to be ejected would be Mel Stride, James Cleverly, Suella Braverman, Jeremy Hunt, David Davis, Jesse Norman, Robert Jenrick, Rishi Sunak and, last but not least, Kemi Badenoch.
That would pretty much finish the Con Party.

The opinion polls now commonly have Reform not only as top party preference, but also top by some distance from Labour and the rest.
Bracknell. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bracknell.
I was last there in 1974, I think, aged maybe 17. Having dropped out of school [https://rbcs.org.uk/], I worked for a while as temp dogsbody for an agency that sent me to various places short of workers. The one in Bracknell was at the Waitrose warehouse (next to Waitrose HQ). I was there for a couple of weeks. I used to go there daily from Caversham Heights (north-west of Reading) on my 75 cc Italian scooter (absolute top speed 60 mph, normal top speed 50).
I remember the brief experience mainly because, one fine day, two Thames Valley Police detectives from Reading wanted to interview me in the office. They did so, and fingerprinted me. Apparently, the other agency workers, who all arrived and departed by minibus, had already been interviewed. I was told that quite a lot of Waitrose canned products had gone missing.
Well, it turned out that all the agency workers except me had been “having it away” with Waitrose’s stuff. I was cleared almost immediately, I think mainly by the absence of fingerprint evidence against me, but all the others were, I was told, charged with theft. I had had no idea that they were “having it away” with tins of salmon or whatever. Naive me.
Not that I was necessarily more honest than the others (who were all much older than me, in their thirties or forties); I just had no use for whatever Waitrose products they had apparently been stealing.
Bracknell was very different then, I think, and smaller; the same is true of my old school at Sonning, looking now at its website. Pretty much only the original old house (Holme Park house) is the same; a whole large complex is now around it. New facilities, new buildings, even a new road system:

400 of the bastards! In a single morning!
Hard-hitting critique of Starmer-stein. In my view, though, not hard-hitting enough.
Starmer-stein is of course, and in ordinary language, a traitor.
Comforting, in a way, that only 20% of the population is irredeemably stupid (or malicious?).
The government of “Ukraine” (the Kiev-regime fake state) is a brutal and corrupt dictatorship, ruled mainly by Jew-Zionists.

NO, Reform UK councillor. Afghan refugees are pretty much all fakes since they have travelled through numerous safe countries to get here so offering sanctuary to them is breaking the Refugee Convention which is severely out of date anyway and thus should be dumped by this country.
If there is any financial support going it should be given to OUR OWN PEOPLE FIRST.
Reform UK need to toughen their immigration stance and make it more like Germany’s excellent nationalist/national-conservative AfD party.

Kemi Badenough will not be leader of the fake Conservative Party soon. I think they will give her about a year until the Welsh Senate elections next year and if party fortunes have not improved in the meantime Conservative MPs will dump her.
It is clear that Badenough is not up to the job and has made little impression on the public apart from in a bad way.
In the meantime, Reform UK had better get themselves an underlying and coherent philosophy for their policies. Generic populism will only take the party so far.

I think that the remaining Con MPs will dump Kemi Badenoch either later this year, once her 12 months is up, or next year. I do not think, though, that any new leader will advance their cause with the public. There is one exception— “Boris”-idiot. You and I may despise him but, to me inexplicably, his fake “English upper class” am-dram “cosplay”, combined with his studied but unconvincing am-dram impression of a poundshop Churchill seems to bamboozle many. Should Johnson return, and be gifted a safe seat (if any still exist), he might be able to claw Con Party polling back into the 20%+ area, though I doubt that that would be enough to defeat either Labour or Reform.

I would agree. There are an increasing number of tweets worded in a way that makes one think of a Johnson return. He doesn’t have a proper job, he is likely sitting there waiting to be invited back.
At the time Johnson was voted out, people probably thought it can’t get worse. Now everyone knows it actually can get MUCH worse, they might prefer the devil they know.

Reform UK has probably reached its peak now. 33% is the maximum. The Conservative Party will not go down on a consistent basis to lower than 16%. I have only seen one poll where they were below that at 14% but that occurred when historic record-breaker Liz Truss was PM for a couple of weeks!

Probably. At this point, with many southern English elderly voters in particular lifelong Con loyalists, the Con vote probably has a floor of about 15%, and a ceiling of perhaps 25%. Labour would be between 20% and 30%. As to Reform, as you say, it is hard to think that it could exceed 33%, but stranger things have happened. Reform is Marmite— either it is on the crest of the wave or…wipeout.

Of course, if the Tory Party had any political brains, they should have chosen Robert Jenrick when they had the opportunity to do so. Dumping Kemi Badenough next year will not look good and voters will be distrustful of a move to the ‘Right’ by him. Crazily, the Conservative Party has given Reform UK a time period in which to get ahead of them in the polls.
It is upon details like this that politics can turn, history changing turnarounds in political fortunes are made and well-establshed parties can go up the chimney.

However, try telling this to your average leftist. Far too many of them still can’t join-up the dots and realise that you can not maintain any real viable welfare state and continue with mass immigration or have a ‘civilised’ society without the death penalty and still have masses of people coming here from violent and backward cultures like Afganistan.
The Green Party allegedly want Britain to have a smaller ‘carbon footprint’, to have less road building ect but that is much more easily achieved with a population that is not being constantly inflated by immigration.
